CORNING 144K88-Y3130-29 MIC Unitized Tight Buffered Cable Owner’s Manual

Part Number

144K88-Y3130-29

Corning MIC® unitized plenum cables are designed for use in plenum, riser and general purpose environments for intrabuilding backbone installations. These multifiber cables use individually jacketed 900 μm buffered fibers enabling easy, consistent stripping and facilitating termination. The stranded subunits of 6-, 12-, or 24-fibers allow quick and easy identification and are surrounded by dielectric strength members and protected by a flame-retardant outer jacket. The all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding, making these cables ideal for routing inside buildings including riser shafts, to the telecommunications rooms and workstations. The MIC Unitized Riser Cables meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770 and the ICEA S-83-596 test criteria. They are OFNP and FT-6 listed.

Features and Benefits

24-fiber jacketed subunits: Quick and easy identification
900 µm buffered fibers: Easy, consistent stripping
All-dielectric construction: Requires no grounding or bonding
Flame-retardant jacket: Rugged and durable
