Belden Inc. FD1L012RF OM1 12-fiber Ofnr Distribution Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD1L012RF is a loose-tube fiber optic distribution cable rated for indoor riser (OFNR) installations. Built around OM1 multimode fiber, this 12-fiber cable is designed for structured cabling runs that connect telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and data distribution points within a building. The OFNR rating means it meets riser flame-test requirements, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The loose-tube construction provides mechanical protection for the fibers and accommodates thermal expansion in longer runs.

This cable is suited for horizontal and backbone distribution runs in commercial and institutional buildings where multimode OM1 glass is already deployed or specified. Typical applications include connecting patch panels, fiber distribution units, and active network equipment across floors or between closets. It is sold individually as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations or fiber plant extensions in riser pathways.

Key Features

• OM1 multimode fiber supports legacy 62.5-micron core multimode deployments
• 12-fiber count suits moderate-density distribution runs
• OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating meets NEC riser flame requirements for vertical building runs
• Loose-tube design provides fiber isolation and protection against mechanical stress
• Sold as a single unit per order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style distribution cable for indoor riser fiber optic installations utilizing OM1 multimode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 and NEC Article 770 requirements for optical fiber riser cables. De-energize any adjacent electrical equipment before working in riser pathways. Observe minimum bend radius requirements during pulling and termination to avoid microbending losses. Do not exceed the cable's rated tensile load during installation pulls.
