Belden Inc. FD1L006LF Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM1 6 Foot

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD1L006LF is a fiber optic duplex patch cable designed for multimode OM1 network and data communications installations. The cable measures 6 feet in length and is sold as a single unit. It provides reliable light transmission between active equipment, patch panels, and distribution frames. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers typically handle this type of assembly in rack rooms, telecommunications closets, and equipment bays. The OM1 designation indicates a 62.5-micron multimode fiber core suited for shorter-run, lower-bandwidth applications.

This patch cable is used in commercial and institutional structured cabling environments where multimode fiber interconnects are required. Typical applications include connecting switches, media converters, and fiber-capable network equipment within the same room or adjacent spaces. The 6-foot length suits short patch runs inside equipment racks or between closely positioned rack units. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex transmit and receive paths in a single assembly.

Key Features

• Duplex configuration provides simultaneous transmit and receive paths
• 6-foot length suited for intra-rack and short inter-rack patching
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing
• Low-smoke, low-halogen construction indicated by LF designation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch assembly for multimode OM1 fiber optic ports and panels in commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following applicable codes such as TIA-568 and BICSI best practices. De-energize and power down connected active equipment before handling fiber terminations. Avoid tight bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius, and keep dust caps on unused connectors at all times to protect ferrule end faces. Do not use optical adapters or mating sleeves rated below the cable connector type.
