Belden HISD0060218RJ OS2 Hybrid Fiber Cable Cmr-of

Product Description

The Belden HISD0060218RJ is a hybrid fiber and copper cable combining OS2 single-mode optical fiber with copper conductor pairs in a single unified jacket. The cable integrates 6 OS2 single-mode fibers alongside 2 copper conductors at 18 AWG, making it well suited for installations that require simultaneous data transmission over fiber and power or control signal delivery over copper in one run. It carries a CMR-OF rating, indicating it meets riser flame requirements and is listed as an optical fiber riser cable under NEC Article 770 provisions. Licensed low-voltage installers and fiber technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this product.

This hybrid cable is designed for structured cabling environments where combining fiber and copper in a single pathway reduces conduit fill, simplifies routing, and cuts labor on jobs that would otherwise require two separate cable pulls. Typical applications include security camera systems, access control head-end runs, distributed antenna systems, and networked AV or building automation installations in commercial buildings where riser-rated pathways are required. The CMR-OF designation makes it appropriate for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, low-attenuation data transmission
• 6 fiber plus 2 conductor hybrid construction eliminates the need for separate cable pulls
• 18 AWG copper conductors deliver power or control signals alongside fiber data
• CMR-OF riser rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for vertical riser installations
• Unified jacket simplifies routing through conduit, cable tray, and riser sleeves

Compatibility

Designed as a riser-rated OS2 hybrid fiber and copper cable suitable for commercial structured cabling systems requiring simultaneous fiber data and copper signal or power delivery in a single riser-compliant run.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or fiber optic contractor familiar with NEC Article 770 optical fiber cable routing requirements. De-energize any associated power circuits before terminating the copper conductors, and follow minimum bend radius guidelines for OS2 single-mode fiber to avoid signal degradation. Fiber ends require proper cleaving and connector termination or fusion splicing — do not pull the cable by the fiber subunits. Verify that the riser pathway is classified as non-plenum before using CMR-OF rated cable, and use plenum-rated cable if the pathway serves an environmental air space.
