Indoor Fiber Cable      
 
Multifiber cables utilizing 900 µm tight-buffered fibers surrounded by dielectric strength members and a flame-retardant outer jacket. These cables meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NEC® Article 770) and are OFNR and FT-4 listed. These cables are ideal for intrabuilding cabling including riser shafts, wiring closets, and workstations.
 
Features and Benefits:
  • Utilizes 900 µm buffered fibers enabling easy, consistent stripping
  • Available in multimode (62.5µm, 50 µm) and single-mode.
  • All-dielectric construction requires no grounding and bonding
  • Meets application requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC® Article 770)
  • Listed OFNR and FT-4
 
Applications:
  • These cables are used in intrabuilding backbone and horizontal installations in riser and general purpose environments.
