Overview
The Corning SST-Drop™ 012EB1-14101A20 is a single-tube, toneable, gel-filled outdoor fiber optic cable carrying 12 singlemode OS2 fibers. Built on the proven ALTOS® single-tube design, it combines easy installation with a copper toning conductor that enables effortless detection of buried runs using standard toning equipment. The cable is RDUP (RUS) Listed and delivers exceptional crush resistance, making it suitable for direct burial, conduit, and aerial self-supporting drop applications.
- Single-tube ALTOS® design for easy access and standard installation practices
- Toneable copper conductor (AWG 24) for underground cable location without additional tracer wire
- 12 singlemode OS2 (G.652.D) fibers with maximum attenuation of 0.4 dB/km at 1310/1383 nm and 0.3 dB/km at 1550 nm
- Gel-filled buffer tube for moisture protection in outdoor and underground environments
- Black polyethylene (PE) outer jacket for UV resistance and long-term outdoor durability
- RDUP (RUS) Listed — meets Rural Development Utility Programs requirements
- NEC OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) and CSA FT-4 rated
- RoHS compliant — free of hazardous substances per RoHS 2011/65/EU
- Short-term tensile strength: 1,350 N (303 lbf); long-term: 400 N (90 lbf)
- Operating temperature range: -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F to 158 °F)
