Belden Inc. FI4D144AKA OM4 144-fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FI4D144AKA is an indoor distribution-style fiber optic cable built to OM4 multimode specifications with a 144-fiber count. Distribution-type cables are designed for tight-buffered routing inside buildings, supporting structured cabling runs between equipment rooms, telecom closets, and data distribution points. The OM4 rating supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over standard multimode distances. This cable is suited for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors working in commercial or industrial environments.

The FI4D144AKA is intended for indoor environments where a high fiber count is required in a compact, manageable bundle. Typical applications include backbone runs in data centers, campus buildings, and large commercial facilities where OM4 multimode performance is specified. The distribution design keeps the cable diameter and bend radius manageable for conduit and cable tray routing within environmental air-handling or plenum-rated spaces, depending on the jacket rating confirmed at time of specification. Installation teams commonly use this cable when terminating directly to adapters or patch panels without individual subunit breakout.

Key Features

• 144-fiber count in a distribution-style construction for high-density indoor runs
• Tight-buffered distribution design suitable for direct termination without breakout
• Rated for indoor use in structured cabling and backbone infrastructure
• Sold individually as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor distribution fiber optic cable for use in OM4 multimode structured cabling systems. Specific compatible equipment or system families were not identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technicians familiar with TIA-568 and ANSI standards for fiber optic cabling. Always verify jacket rating meets local building and fire code requirements before routing through plenum, riser, or general spaces. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and routing. Proper fiber optic termination tools and PPE, including eye protection, are required when handling and terminating bare fiber.
