Belden FI3D048PK OM3 48-fiber Ofnp Plenum Fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

The Belden FI3D048PK is an indoor, plenum-rated multimode fiber optic cable featuring an OM3 fiber type and a 48-fiber count. Built to OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) standards, this cable is engineered for installation in air-handling spaces where flame and smoke propagation must be strictly controlled. It carries optical signals across backbone runs, riser pathways, and horizontal distribution links in commercial and institutional buildings. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades who pull and terminate this cable on active network and data center projects.

This cable is suited for indoor plenum environments in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, data centers, and educational campuses. The OM3 multimode designation supports high-bandwidth applications including 10-Gigabit, 40-Gigabit, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet over standard multimode distances. The 48-fiber count makes it an efficient choice for backbone and inter-closet runs where high fiber density is required without the bulk of multiple smaller cables.

Key Features

• OFNP plenum rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling plenum spaces
• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications
• 48-fiber count delivers high-density connectivity in a single cable run
• Indoor-rated construction designed for structured cabling backbone and horizontal pathways
• Sold individually (1 unit per order)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor plenum fiber optic cable for use in structured cabling systems requiring OM3 multimode performance in OFNP-rated environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 770 and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out any adjacent electrical equipment before pulling cable through shared pathways. Use proper cable-pulling lubricant and observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius to avoid fiber damage. Terminate and test with calibrated optical loss test equipment per TIA-568 standards.
