INTRODUCTION
- Part Number: 024E88-33131-29
- Corning MIC® plenum cables are designed for use in plenum, riser and general-purpose environments for intrabuilding backbone and horizontal installations.
- These multifiber cables use 900 μm buffered fibres to allow easy, consistent stripping and to facilitate termination. The fibres are surrounded by dielectric strength members and protected by a flame-retardant outer jacket.
- The all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding. MIC plenum cables are ideal for routing inside buildings, within plenum areas and riser shafts, to the telecommunications rooms and workstations.
- The MIC plenum cables meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770 and are OFNP and FT-6 listed.
Features and Benefits
- 900 μm buffered fibers
- Easy, consistent stripping
- All-dielectric construction
- Requires no grounding or bonding
- Flame-retardant jacket
- Rugged and durable
