Corning ClearCurve Compact Drop Indoor Tight-Buffered Riser Cable Corning ClearCurve® compact drop cables are part of a product family developed to solve the challenges associated with multidwelling unit (MDU) deployments. Enabled by a truly bend-insensitive fiber, this small-profile, yet durable, cable is optimized for applications within the living unit. Smaller and more flexible than CAT 5e cable, ClearCurve compact drop cable can accomplish tight turns to a miniumum bend-radius of 5 mm (0.2 in) with negligible bend loss and can be run under carpet, along door frames and molding, in raceway or microduct. The cable consists of a single bend-insensitive fiber tight-buffered with a 900 µm jacket, surrounded by dielectric strength members and an outer flame-retardant jacket. With a yellow jacket, this cable is riser-rated (OFNR) for indoor vertical riser and general-purpose horizontal applications. Features And Benefits: • Backward compatible with all industry ITU-G.652 single-mode fiber - Meets industry standards and eliminates installation complexity • Minimum bend radius of 5 mm - Ideal for tight-bend deployments • Riser-rated (OFNR) cable design - Indoor, vertical riser and general-purpose horizontal applications • Convenient contractor-sized packaging - Easy field deployment • Higher bandwidth-carrying capacity, smaller outer diameter, lighter weight, smaller minimum bend-radius - Outperforms typical CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable for MDU applications General Specifications: • Environment: Indoor • Application: Vertical Riser, General Purpose Horizontal • Cable Type: Drop • Product Type: Interconnect • Flame Rating:Riser (OFNR) • Fiber Category: Single-mode (OS2) Standards: • Listings: National Electrical Code® (NEC®) OFNR, FT-4 • Design and Test Criteria: ANSI/ICEA S-104-596, Telcordia GR-409, CSA FT-4 Temperature Range: • Storage: -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F to 158 °F ) • Installation: -10 °C to 60 °C (-14 °F to 140 °F ) • Operation: -20 °C to 70 °C (-4 °F to 158 °F ) Mechanical Characteristics Cable: • Nominal Cable Diameter: 2.9 mm (0.11 in) • Minimum Bend Radius Installation: 5 mm (0.2 in) • Minimum Bend Radius Operation: 5 mm (0.2 in) • Max.
