Corning SST 6-Fiber OS2 Singlemode Steel Armored Outdoor Cable (006EEC-13122A20)
Features and Benefits
Waterblocking technology — Outside Plant (OSP) applications
UV- and microbe-resistant — Can be directly buried or installed in ducts
Corrugated steel armoring — Rodent and mechanical protection for direct-buried applications
Small diameter and bend radius — Easy installation in space-constrained areas
Fibers colour coding to Telcordia-Bellcore — Easy identification of the individual fibers
- Description
The Corning SST™ Central Tube Steel Armor Outdoor Cable (006EEC-13122A20) is a 6-fiber OS2 singlemode optical fiber cable designed for outdoor backbone networks in campus, city, and intercity installations. Its central tube construction helps isolate the fibers from installation stresses and environmental conditions, supporting stable and reliable optical transmission. Corrugated steel tape armor provides mechanical and rodent protection, while waterblocking technology helps protect against moisture. Suitable for duct and direct-buried installations, its compact, lightweight, and flexible construction supports deployment in space-constrained areas.
Key Features
- 6-Fiber OS2 Singlemode: Uses SMF-28e+® singlemode fibers compliant with ITU-T G.652.D.
- Central Tube Construction: Compact design that helps protect fibers from installation and environmental stresses.
- Corrugated Steel Armor: Provides mechanical protection and supports rodent-resistant, direct-buried applications.
- Waterblocking Technology: Designed to help prevent water ingress.
- Outdoor Installation: Suitable for duct and direct-buried installations.
- Durable Outer Jacket: Black linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) jacket.
- Color-Coded Fibers: Blue, orange, green, brown, slate, and white for easy identification.
- Flexible Installation: Small 7.5 mm nominal outer diameter and a minimum operating bend radius of 110 mm.
