Belden Inc. FD1D096AK Fiber Optic Cable OM1 96F

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD1D096AK is a fiber optic distribution cable built for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. This is an OM1 multimode cable with a 96-fiber count, designed for high-density indoor distribution runs where reliable optical performance is required. The FD1D096AK is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage contractors, data center technicians, and structured cabling professionals working to current ANSI, TIA, or BICSI standards.

This cable is suited for indoor fiber distribution applications including telecommunications rooms, data centers, campus backbones, and enterprise LAN environments. OM1 multimode fiber supports legacy 62.5-micron core diameter applications and is commonly found in existing infrastructure upgrades as well as new installations requiring 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps transmission over moderate distances. The 96-fiber count makes this cable appropriate for high-density interconnects between patch panels, switches, and distribution frames.

Key Features

• OM1 multimode fiber optimized for 62.5-micron core legacy and active installations
• 96-fiber count supports high-density distribution runs in a single cable pathway
• Distribution-style construction for compact, organized routing inside conduit or cable tray
• Sold individually as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style distribution fiber cable for use with standard OM1 multimode connectors, patch panels, and fiber termination hardware in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and local building codes. De-energize any adjacent active equipment before beginning termination work. Observe the cable's minimum bend radius during routing through conduit or cable tray to prevent microbending losses. Fiber end-faces must be properly cleaved, polished, and inspected before mating with any adapter or patch panel port.
