Frequently Asked Questions
What does the plenum rating mean?
Plenum-rated cables are designed with specialized flame-retardant jacket materials that produce minimal smoke, making them safe for installation in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed specifically for indoor applications. Using it in an outdoor environment may expose the cable to moisture and temperatures that exceed its specifications.
What is the benefit of ClearCurve fiber?
ClearCurve fiber is a bend-insensitive technology that significantly reduces light loss when the fiber is bent around tight corners during installation.
Can I order this in other fiber counts?
Yes, these cables are available in fiber counts ranging from 2 to 144 fibers.
How is the fiber organized?
Fiber counts greater than 12 are grouped into subunits containing 12 fibers each for improved organization and management.
