Belden Inc. FD4D012P9 OM4 Plenum Fiber Cable 12 Fiber

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD4D012P9 is a 12-fiber multimode OM4 plenum-rated fiber optic cable designed for indoor and outdoor installations. It carries high-bandwidth optical signals in structured cabling systems and data networks where plenum-rated jacketing is required by code. The OM4 multimode designation supports high-speed transmission over laser-optimized 50-micron glass fiber. The black jacket finish and plenum rating make it a direct fit for above-ceiling and air-handling space runs. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for enterprise, commercial, and institutional network infrastructure projects where both plenum compliance and indoor-to-outdoor routing are needed. Typical applications include backbone runs between telecommunications rooms, data center horizontal or riser pathways, and campus installations that transition between conditioned interior spaces and outdoor segments. The 12-fiber count supports aggregated backbone or parallel optical channel deployments.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth, short-reach laser-based transmission
• Plenum-rated jacket meets air-handling space requirements per NFPA 90A
• 12-fiber count in a single cable for backbone and multi-channel runs
• Indoor-outdoor construction allows transition between interior and exterior environments without mid-span splicing
• Black jacket for easy identification and compatibility with standard cable management systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multimode OM4 plenum fiber optic cable for indoor and outdoor structured cabling installations requiring a 12-fiber count and plenum-rated jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 requirements for optical fiber cable in plenum spaces. De-energize any adjacent electrical infrastructure before running cable through conduit or cable trays. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during pulling to prevent fiber damage. Terminate with appropriate OM4-rated connectors and test with an optical loss test set after installation.
