Features and Benefits
The ALTOS® Figure-8 Loose Tube, Gel-Free Armored Cable offers several key features: gel-free waterblocking technology for easy cable preparation, a polyethylene jacket for durability and protection against environmental factors, and a figure-8 design for simple installation. The cable is designed for self-supporting aerial applications and is compatible with telecommunications-grade optical fiber.

Specifications
The cable supports a maximum span of 140 m under NESC Heavy conditions and 189 m under NESC Medium and Light conditions, with a minimum bend radius of 215 mm during installation. It has a nominal outer diameter of 14.3 mm and includes 12 fibers per tube, with a total fiber count of 12. The outer jacket is made of polyethylene, and the cable includes corrugated steel tape armor for tensile strength.

Environmental Conditions
The cable can be installed in temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 70 °C and stored in temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C. It is recommended to store the cable in a suitable temperature environment before installation.

General Specifications
This outdoor, self-supporting cable is designed for aerial applications and complies with RoHS standards. It is categorized as 62.5 µm multimode (OM1) fiber.

Optical Characteristics
The cable features a minimum effective modal bandwidth of 220 MHz*km and a maximum attenuation of 3.4 dB/km at 850 nm wavelength. It supports serial 1 Gigabit Ethernet at 300 MHz*km and serial 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 33 MHz*km.

Standards
The cable meets the ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 design and test criteria and is free of hazardous substances according to RoHS 2011/65/EU.

ALTOS® Figure-8 Loose Tube, Gel-Free Armored Cable 12 F, 62.5 µm multimode (OM1) Part Number: 012KUB-T4130D20 Corning ALTOS® figure-8 gel-free cables are self-supporting aerial cables designed for easy and economical one-step installation. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. The gel-free design is fully waterblocked using craft-friendly water-swellable materials, making cable access simple and requiring no clean up. While the flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates optical fibers from installation and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access.The figure-8 cable design allows easy, one-step installation, using standard hardware and installation methods. These cables have a medium density polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip. Features and Benefits Gel-free waterblocking technology Craft-friendly cable preparation Polyethylene jacket Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors) Figure-8 cable design Easy, one-step installation ALTOS® Figure-8 Loose Tube, Gel-Free Armored Cable, 12 F, 62.5 µm multimode (OM1) Page 1 | Revision Date 2022-07-
