Belden Inc. FD4D096LK OM4 96-fiber Distribution Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FD4D096LK is an indoor distribution-style fiber optic cable rated for OM4 multimode performance with a 96-fiber count. Designed for high-density structured cabling installations, this cable supports 10 Gigabit and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet applications across data center, enterprise, and industrial backbone runs. The riser (ZNR) flame rating makes it suitable for installation in vertical shaft and riser pathways between floors. Network contractors and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers. The 96-fiber count supports large-scale patch and trunk configurations where port density and bandwidth headroom are both critical requirements.

This cable is suited for indoor vertical runs in commercial and enterprise environments, including data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and multi-floor building backbones. The OM4 multimode designation supports laser-optimized performance for use with VCSEL-based transceivers. It is sized for high-count trunk cable assemblies and pre-terminated harness applications where consolidation of fiber runs is required. Installation is typically performed by registered communications distribution designers or licensed low-voltage contractors following TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE transmission
• 96-fiber count for high-density backbone and trunk installations
• Riser (ZNR) flame rating approved for vertical indoor pathway installations
• Distribution-style construction for compact, flexible routing in conduit or cable tray
• Laser-optimized design compatible with VCSEL-based active equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style distribution fiber optic cable for indoor riser-rated structured cabling systems using OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed communications contractor in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize and isolate all active equipment connected to the fiber pathway before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension during routing through conduit or cable tray to avoid degrading fiber performance. Fiber end faces must be properly cleaved, terminated, and cleaned before insertion into any adapter or transceiver port.
