Belden Inc. FI4D023R9A OM4 Distribution Fiber Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI4D023R9A is an indoor OM4 multimode distribution-style fiber optic cable with a tight-buffer construction. It is designed for high-bandwidth data and communications runs inside commercial and institutional buildings. Tight-buffer construction protects individual fibers during installation and termination, making it well suited for direct connector termination without breakout kits. The OM4 multimode designation supports high-speed network applications at extended reach over 50-micron glass fiber. This cable is classified as riser-rated, meaning it is suitable for vertical runs between floors in accordance with applicable building and fire codes.

This cable is used in structured cabling installations within data centers, office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. Riser-rated indoor distribution cables of this type are typically run through conduit or cable trays in vertical shaft and inter-floor pathways. Network technicians and licensed low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. It is appropriate for backbone and horizontal distribution segments where OM4 performance is required.

Key Features

• OM4 50-micron multimode fiber for high-bandwidth, high-speed network applications
• Tight-buffer construction allows direct termination at each fiber
• Indoor distribution design optimized for organized multi-fiber routing
• Riser-rated construction for compliant vertical installation between building floors
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor riser fiber cable for use with standard OM4 multimode fiber optic connectors and patch panel terminations in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified network infrastructure technician. Riser-rated cable must be installed in compliance with applicable building and fire codes, including NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 requirements for optical fiber riser cables. Observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to avoid fiber stress or damage. De-energize any connected active equipment before terminating or patching into live network infrastructure.
