Belden Inc. FI3D006A9 6-fiber OM3 Plenum Fiber Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI3D006A9 is a 6-fiber multimode OM3 indoor armored plenum-rated fiber optic cable finished in aqua jacket. It is designed for high-bandwidth backbone and horizontal runs inside commercial buildings where plenum air-handling spaces require low-smoke, flame-retardant cable construction. The OM3 designation supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters, making this cable a standard choice for data center interconnects and campus riser segments. The armored construction adds mechanical protection against crushing and rodent damage. Licensed network and low-voltage contractors handle installation in plenum-rated environments.

This cable is suited for indoor structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings, including data centers, office campuses, and healthcare facilities. The plenum rating satisfies NEC Article 770 requirements for cables routed through air-handling spaces without conduit. The 6-fiber count fits typical backbone runs between telecommunications rooms and equipment rooms. Aqua jacket color follows TIA-598 color-coding conventions for OM3 multimode fiber, simplifying identification during installation and future maintenance.

Key Features

• 6-fiber multimode OM3 construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone applications
• Plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling space installation without conduit
• Armored design provides added resistance to crush loads and physical damage
• Aqua jacket follows TIA-598 color-coding standard for OM3 multimode fiber
• Indoor-rated for commercial structured cabling environments

Compatibility

Designed for use in indoor commercial structured cabling systems requiring plenum-rated multimode OM3 fiber optic cable with armored construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling contractors familiar with NEC Article 770 and applicable local codes. De-energize active equipment connected to any fiber path before splicing or terminating. Observe the cable minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid fiber damage. Do not route this indoor-rated cable in outdoor or direct-burial applications.
