Corning Cable Systems' New FREEDM Loose Tube Plenum Cable Simplifies Installation Processes in Local Area Networks
Cable eliminates transition splice when entering building, minimizes routing restrictions
HICKORY, N.C. - Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces its new FREEDM® Loose Tube Gel-Free Plenum Cables. The flame-retardant, indoor/outdoor, plenum-rated cables are suitable for installation in aerial, duct and riser or plenum applications.
The plenum rating of the FREEDM Loose Tube Plenum Cable eliminates the need to transition splice when entering the building (from dedicated outside plant cable to dedicated flame-retardant OFNP cable) and minimizes routing restrictions once inside the building. The cables meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code, are OFNP and FT-6 listed, and are compliant to ICEA-696.
FREEDM Loose Tube Plenum Cables, part of Corning Cable Systems LANscape® Pretium(TM) Solutions, feature 250 µm color-coded fibers for quick and easy identification during installation. The loose tube design offers mechanical ruggedness and environmental durability, and the all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding. In addition, the gel-free cable provides for more efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation.
The cable is available with 12 to 60 fibers and in 62.5 µm, 50 µm (including laser-optimized) and single-mode versions. Its flexible, flame-retardant jacket is UV resistant and enables direct exposure to sunlight. The cable is available in interlocking armor for specialized applications requiring additional mechanical durability.
