Belden Inc. FI1D048AK 48F OM1 Fiber Optic Cable Assembly

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI1D048AK is a 48-fiber OM1 multimode distribution-style tight-buffer fiber optic cable assembly. Designed for structured cabling installations, this assembly uses a tight-buffer construction that provides mechanical protection and flexibility, making it well suited for indoor runs between distribution frames, patch panels, and active equipment. OM1 multimode glass fiber supports legacy and current 10/100 Ethernet and gigabit applications over shorter distances. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling contractors are the typical installing tradespeople for this product.

This cable assembly is intended for indoor fiber optic distribution applications in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. The tight-buffer design is appropriate for riser and horizontal pathways where direct termination or pre-terminated routing is required. The 48-fiber count makes it practical for high-density backbone runs between telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and main distribution areas. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• 48-fiber count supports high-density distribution runs in a single cable
• OM1 multimode glass fiber compatible with 62.5/125 micron legacy and current applications
• Tight-buffer construction allows direct termination without breakout kits
• Distribution-style design suitable for indoor riser and horizontal pathways
• Single unit per package for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style distribution tight-buffer fiber optic cable assembly for indoor multimode OM1 structured cabling systems. No specific compatible equipment models were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 and BICSI cabling standards. Observe the cable minimum bend radius and maximum tensile load ratings during pull-through conduit or cable tray runs to avoid fiber stress. Power down any connected active equipment before terminating or patching fiber connections. Inspect connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope prior to mating.
