Opti-Core Fiber Optic Distribution Cable DATA SHEET technical information Opti-Core Fiber Optic Distribution Cable is an integral part of the Panduit end-to-end fiber optic solution, designed to support today s data needs while meeting tomorrow s ever-advancing network requirements. Opti-Core Fiber Optic Distribution Cable is used within buildings to provide high-density connectivity and ease of installation. Applications include intra building backbones, routing between telecommunications rooms and connectorized cables in riser and plenum environments. Opti-Core Fiber Optic Distribution Cable meets or exceeds the requirements of Telcordia GR-409 and with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables. Opti-Core Fiber Optic Distribution Cable features the highest quality OM3 and OM4 laser optimized fiber to support 10 Gb/s applications while maintaining compatibility with existing 50m multimode systems. Standard singlemode and multimode distribution cable is available in fiber counts from 6 to 144 fibers. Distribution cable in 6, 12, and 24-fiber counts in a single jacket designs feature 900m tight-buffered fibers surrounded by aramid yarn strength members. Larger distribution cable (36 fibers and greater) features a sub-unit design that simplifies fiber identification, provides easy access and routing of the fibers and increases cable durability with a dielectric central strength member. application For indoor use in intra-building and horizontal installations. standards UL-1666 ANSI/ICEA S-83-596 NFPA 262 CSA 22.2 ROHS Compliant Telcordia GR-409 construction Inner sheath PVC Outer sheath PVC Mechanical Properties Riser Plenum Tensile strength (< 12 fibers) Installation: 300 lb.
