Overview
This 6-fiber multimode 62.5um OM1 indoor/outdoor cable features a distribution-style construction and is plenum rated for versatile installation environments. Designed for flexibility and ease of handling, this cable utilizes water-blocking aramid yarn strength members to ensure long-term durability in varied conditions.
The cable is constructed with 900µm tight-buffered fibers, which allow for direct termination of connectors without the need for additional breakout kits, simplifying the installation process and reducing overall labor costs. The rugged, UV-resistant black jacket provides essential protection for both indoor and outdoor use. This specific version includes aluminum interlocking armor (AIA) to offer superior mechanical protection in high-traffic or demanding environments.
