Corning 096EUF-T4101D20 — 96-F 8.3 OS2 LT IN/OUT RISER 0.4/0.3 DB/KM PVC SMF28E FREEDM GEL-FREE

Corning 096EUF-T4101D20 — 96-F 8.3 OS2 LT IN/OUT RISER 0.4/0.3 DB/KM PVC SMF28E FREEDM GEL-FREE

This Fiber Optic cable delivers exceptional single-mode (OS2) performance for both indoor and outdoor applications, including aerial, duct, direct burial, and general-purpose installations. Built with a dielectric central element and flame-retardant, UV-resistant outer jacket, it ensures durability and compliance with NEC® OFNR and CSA OFN FT-4 standards. The cable’s loose tube design houses 96 fibers in 8 color-coded buffer tubes, each with 12 fibers, protected by water-swellable tape for moisture resistance. It supports a maximum attenuation of 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.3 dB/km at 1550 nm, meeting ITU-T G.652.D specifications. With a compact 13.9 mm diameter, robust tensile strength, and wide operating temperature range, this cable is engineered for reliable, long-term performance in industrial and commercial environments.
