Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This 48-fiber distribution fiber optic cable is designed for high-density indoor networking applications. Featuring 62.5um OM1 multimode fiber, this cable is optimized for reliable data transmission within data centers, enterprise networks, and building backbones. The distribution-style construction facilitates efficient management and routing in confined spaces.
The cable incorporates 900um tight buffered fibers, which significantly simplifies the termination process by eliminating the need for breakout kits. Connectors can be terminated directly onto the tight buffered fibers, or pigtails can be fusion spliced to the backbone, providing flexibility for various installation requirements. This plenum-rated cable is engineered for use in air-handling spaces, adhering to necessary safety standards for indoor environments.
