Belden Inc. FD4D096FK 96F OM4 Distribution Fiber Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD4D096FK is an indoor distribution-style fiber optic cable built around an OM4 multimode core with a 96-fiber count. Distribution cables of this type route multiple individual fibers within a single tight-buffered construction, making them well suited for backbone and horizontal runs inside commercial and industrial buildings. The OM4 multimode specification supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over appropriate link distances. Licensed low-voltage and datacom contractors install this cable during structured cabling projects where high fiber density is required in a compact, manageable form factor.

This cable is intended for indoor fiber optic infrastructure installations such as data centers, enterprise campuses, healthcare facilities, and large commercial buildings. Its distribution design allows individual fibers to be directly terminated or routed to patch panels without the need for breakout kits in many configurations. The 96-fiber count makes it a practical choice for high-density backbone runs between telecommunications rooms and main distribution areas.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• 96-fiber count provides high-density capacity in a single cable run
• Indoor distribution construction with tight-buffered fibers for direct termination
• Designed for backbone and horizontal cabling in commercial and industrial environments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor distribution fiber optic cable suitable for use with standard SC, LC, ST, and other common fiber optic connectors and patch panels rated for OM4 multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or datacom contractor familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize and verify that all active equipment connected to the fiber path is powered down or bypassed before terminating or splicing. Use proper fiber optic hand tools and avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during routing and pulling. Follow applicable local and national electrical codes for indoor cable routing and firestop requirements.
