072E81-T3131-24 MIC Unitized Tight Buffered Cable
Product Information
The MIC Unitized Riser Cables are designed for easy
identification and quick installation. They have a jacketed subunit
construction with 6, 12, or 24 fibers. The cables are
all-dielectric, meaning they require no grounding or bonding. They
have a flame-retardant jacket that makes them rugged and
durable.
The cables meet various standards and listings including
UL-1666, CSA FT-4, and ICEA S-83596. They are available in
different fiber counts including 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 144
fibers. The cables have different specifications such as
temperature range, mechanical characteristics, weight, and bend
radius.
In terms of transmission performance, the cables support
different fiber categories including multimode and single-mode.
They have different performance options and wavelengths with
maximum attenuation values specified for each fiber category.
Product Usage Instructions
- Identification: The cables have a jacketed
subunit construction with 6, 12, or 24 fibers. Each subunit can be
easily identified for quick installation. - Grounding and Bonding: These cables are
all-dielectric and do not require grounding or bonding during
installation. - Installation Temperature: It is recommended to
store the cable in a proper temperature environment prior to
installation. This ensures that the cable temperature meets the
installation temperature range specifications for better
installation results. - Bend Radius: During installation, maintain the
minimum bend radius specified for each fiber count to prevent
damage to the cables. The minimum bend radius values are provided
in the user manual. - Transmission Performance: Depending on the
fiber category and performance option, the cables support different
wavelengths and have specific maximum attenuation values. Refer to
the user manual for detailed information on transmission
performance for each fiber category.

Design and Test Criteria
National Electrical Code® (NEC®) OFNR, FT-4
UL-1666 and CSA FT-4 (for riser and general building applications); ICEA S-83596
Corning MIC® unitized riser cables are designed for use in riser and general purpose environments for intrabuilding backbone installations. These multifiber cables use individually jacketed 900 m buffered fibers enabling easy, consistent stripping and facilitating termination. The 6-, 12-, or 24-fiber subunits allow quick and easy identification and are surrounded by dielectric strength members and protected by a flame-retardant outer jacket.
The all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding, making these cables ideal for routing inside buildings including riser shafts, to the telecommunications rooms and workstations. The MIC Unitized Riser Cables meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770 and the ICEA S-83596 test criteria. They are OFNR and FT-4 listed.
This cable is available in 12 different jacket colors blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. The colored jacket allows for easy visual identification of the cables. The standard jacket color will be determined by the dominant fiber type in the cable and will use the standard part numbers shown here. Contact Customer Care at 1-800-743-2675 to order other color options.
