Part Number:
012TSP-T4180D20
Corning FREEDM® loose tube gel-free plenum cables are flame-retardant,
indoor/outdoor, plenum-rated cables suitable for installation in interbuilding
and intrabuilding backbones in aerial, duct and riser or plenum applications.
The loose tube design offers mechanical ruggedness and environmental
durability while the all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding
or bonding. The waterswellable yarn eliminates the need for gel-filling
compound and allows more efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation.The
250 μm color-coded fibers allow quick and easy identification during
installation.
The flexible, flame-retardant outer jacket is UV-resistant and enables direct
exposure to sunlight. Interlocking armor is available for special applications
requiring additional mechanical durability. The plenum rating of this cable
eliminates the need to transition splice when entering the building and
minimizes routing restrictions once inside the building. Meeting the
requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770, the cables
are also OFNP and FT-6 listed.
