Overview
This 12-fiber multimode fiber optic cable is engineered for both indoor and outdoor deployments, providing versatility for various networking environments. Featuring 50um OM4 fiber, it is optimized for high-speed data transmission and is suitable for enterprise backbones, data centers, and campus-wide networking applications.
The cable is constructed with a 5.8mm outer diameter and includes Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA). This metallic layer offers robust mechanical protection against crushing forces and rodent interference, while the plenum-rated jacket allows for installation in air-handling spaces without the need for additional conduit. This design ensures both physical durability and compliance with strict indoor fire safety standards.
