Belden Inc. FI1D024A9 OM1 24F Fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI1D024A9 is an indoor fiber optic cable assembly designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Based on the part number nomenclature, this unit is an OM1 multimode fiber assembly with a 24-fiber count in a distribution-style construction. It is rated for plenum-compliant indoor air-handling spaces (OFCPAIA designation), making it suitable for runs through drop ceilings and air plenums where fire and smoke ratings are required. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and data communications contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This fiber assembly is used in backbone and horizontal cabling runs within commercial buildings, data centers, and campus environments. The 24-fiber count makes it appropriate for high-density patch panels and fiber distribution hubs. The OM1 multimode specification supports legacy 62.5/125 micron applications. Indoor plenum-rated fiber of this type is commonly pulled through conduit or cable trays in office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities where air-handling plenum pathways are present.

Key Features

• OM1 multimode fiber at 62.5/125 micron for legacy multimode network infrastructure
• 24-fiber count distribution construction for high-density indoor cabling applications
• OFCPAIA plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces per applicable fire codes
• Indoor distribution design supports organized termination at patch panels and fiber enclosures
• Single unit (EA) packaging for straightforward procurement and job-site inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor distribution fiber optic cable for use with standard OM1 multimode fiber termination hardware, patch panels, and splice enclosures in commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local fire codes governing plenum-rated materials. De-energize any adjacent active equipment before pulling cable through trays, conduit, or plenum pathways. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during installation, as exceeding it can cause signal attenuation or physical fiber damage. Termination and splicing should be performed with appropriate fiber tools and tested with an optical loss test set before the link is placed in service.
