Belden Inc. FI3B006PB OM3 Fiber Optic Assembly 6 Foot

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI3B006PB is an OM3 multimode fiber optic assembly rated OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) for use in plenum air-handling spaces where low-smoke, flame-retardant cabling is required by code. At 6 feet in length, this assembly is suited for short-run patch and interconnect applications within equipment rooms, data closets, and structured cabling installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of assembly where high-bandwidth multimode fiber links are needed between active equipment and patch panels.

This assembly is designed for indoor structured cabling environments where plenum fire ratings are mandated by the National Electrical Code. Typical installations include horizontal or intra-rack fiber runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus network infrastructures. The 6-foot length suits equipment-room and telecommunications-room cross-connect and interconnect configurations where short, managed fiber jumpers are standard practice.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over appropriate distances
• OFNP plenum rating meets NEC requirements for installation in plenum air-handling spaces
• 6-foot length suited for intra-rack and short cross-connect runs
• Factory-terminated assembly reduces field termination time and ensures consistent insertion loss performance
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch assembly for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using OFNP-rated cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. De-energize or power down active equipment before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies to protect optical transceivers. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep connector end-faces clean using approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Plenum-rated cable must be used in plenum spaces per NEC Article 770 requirements.
