Belden Inc. FD3D096FK Fiber Optic Cable OM3 96F

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD3D096FK is a fiber optic cable assembly designed for high-density network infrastructure installations. Classified as an OM3 multimode fiber product with a 96-fiber count, this assembly supports high-bandwidth data transmission in demanding environments. The FD3D096FK is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians working in commercial, industrial, or data center settings. Its high fiber count makes it suitable for backbone runs and high-density distribution points where consolidating multiple connections into a single cable pathway is required.

This cable assembly is applicable to commercial and enterprise network environments where OM3 multimode fiber is specified. OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed protocols over appropriate distances, making it a common choice for data center interconnects, campus backbone installations, and inter-building runs. Installation typically occurs as part of a structured cabling system in new construction or retrofit projects requiring high fiber counts in a single pathway.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber classification supports 10GbE and compatible high-speed protocols
• 96-fiber count consolidates high-density connectivity into a single cable run
• Sold as a single unit assembly (EA), ready for field termination or pre-terminated deployment
• Designed for backbone and high-density distribution applications in commercial and data center environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber optic cable assembly compatible with OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure systems and panels accepting 96-fiber count cable inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all active network equipment connected to the cable pathway is powered down or ports are disabled before terminating or splicing fiber runs. Use appropriate fiber handling tools including cleavers, splice trays, and optical loss test equipment to verify performance after installation. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to prevent fiber damage.
