Corning 072ZD9-T1301-MA – 72-F Indoor OS2 LT Plenum MIC 250 2.0 Interlocking Armor Yellow

The 72-F Indoor OS2 Loose Tube Plenum MIC with 2.0 mm interlocking armor is designed for high-performance indoor fiber distribution applications. Featuring SMF-28® Ultra single-mode bend-improved fibers, this cable provides reliable low attenuation of 0.4/0.4/0.3 dB/km at 1310, 1383, and 1550 nm wavelengths. With 72 fibers organized in 6 active tubes, each holding 12 color-coded fibers, it supports large-capacity structured cabling systems. Its yellow flame-retardant plenum-rated jacket with interlocking armor ensures enhanced protection and compliance with ANSI/ICEA S-83-596 and RoHS standards. Ideal for general purpose, plenum, riser, and horizontal indoor deployments, this rugged cable offers both performance and durability for demanding network infrastructures.
