Overview
This central tube cable is engineered for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a flexible and robust solution for high-density fiber installations. Designed with a gel-free, water-blocked construction, it simplifies the termination and connectorization process by eliminating the need for extensive cleaning of hazardous gels.
The cable features 24 strands of Corning ClearCurve OM4 multimode fiber, ensuring low bend-loss performance and high bandwidth. Housed in a durable, UV-protected plenum-rated jacket, it is suitable for routing through air-handling spaces and diverse exterior plant applications. This design facilitates faster installation and long-term reliability in varying environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
While this cable is rated for indoor/outdoor use with a UV-protected jacket, it is generally intended for duct or conduit installations rather than direct burial. Consult local codes for specific deployment requirements.
Can I use standard fan-out kits with this cable?
Yes, this cable is designed to be compatible with standard fan-out kits, such as those provided by , for efficient breakout to connectorized ends.
Does the gel-free design affect optical performance?
No, the gel-free design uses dry water-blocking materials that provide equivalent protection against moisture ingress without the mess associated with traditional gel-filled cables.
Is this fiber bend-insensitive?
Yes, it utilizes Corning ClearCurve fiber technology, which is specifically engineered to provide superior protection against bend-induced signal loss.
Is this cable suitable for use in ceiling plenums?
Yes, the cable is plenum-rated, making it safe for installation in air-handling spaces where fire resistance is a requirement.
