Overview
This 24-fiber multimode 50um OM2 distribution cable is engineered for high-density indoor networking applications. Featuring a riser-rated jacket and robust aluminum interlocking armor (AIA), it provides both physical protection and compliance with building safety codes for vertical installations. The cable is designed for environments requiring a balance of durability and efficient fiber management.
The distribution-style construction utilizes 900μm tight-buffered fibers, which allow for direct termination of connectors. This design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate breakout kits, saving time during termination. Pigtails can also be easily fusion-spliced to the backbone, making it a versatile choice for data center and enterprise backbones.
