Belden Inc. FD4D012A9E OM4 12-fiber Distribution Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD4D012A9E is an indoor distribution-style fiber optic cable rated for OM4 multimode performance with a 12-fiber count. It is designed for high-bandwidth backbone and horizontal runs inside commercial and industrial buildings. OM4 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications over appropriate link distances. The plenum-rated (OFCPAIA) jacket construction meets air-handling space installation requirements without the need for conduit in many jurisdictions. Electricians and low-voltage datacom technicians are the primary installers for this cable type.

This cable is suited for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise campuses, healthcare facilities, and industrial environments. The distribution construction allows for compact, tight-buffered fiber routing through cable trays, conduit, and plenum air-handling spaces. The 12-fiber count makes it practical for moderate-density runs between telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and work-area outlets. It is sold as a single unit (EA).

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE transmission
• 12-fiber count for moderate-density indoor backbone and horizontal runs
• OFCPAIA plenum-rated jacket meets air-handling space code requirements
• Indoor distribution construction with tight-buffered fibers for compact routing
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor distribution fiber optic cable for use with standard OM4 multimode connectors and patch panels in commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of plenum-rated fiber optic cable should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or datacom technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable sections of the NEC. De-energize and lock out any nearby electrical equipment before pulling cable through shared pathways. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius during installation, and do not exceed rated tensile load during pulls. Terminate fibers using the appropriate fusion splicing or mechanical connector tooling for OM4 multimode fiber.
