Corning 072ZCF-14101D20 – Indoor/Outdoor Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable, 72 Fiber Single-Mode (OS2), Black

Corning 072ZCF-14101-20 – Indoor/Outdoor Ribbon Dielectric Fiber Optic Cable

The 072ZCF-14101-20 is a 72-fiber SMF-28® Ultra single-mode (OS2) ribbon dielectric cable designed for indoor/outdoor use. It features a flame-retardant, UV-resistant black outer jacket with an OFNR riser rating, suitable for duct, aerial, riser, direct buried, general purpose, and horizontal applications. The round cable geometry contains six ribbons per tube with 12 fibers each, color-coded for identification. It has a nominal outer diameter of 12.7 mm, a minimum bend radius of 191 mm during installation and 127 mm during operation. Compliant with ITU-T G.652.D and G.657.A1, it offers low attenuation at 1310 nm, 1383 nm, and 1550 nm wavelengths.
