Belden Inc. FISD024A9 24-fiber Plenum Armored Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FISD024A9 is a 24-fiber plenum-rated armored singlemode indoor fiber optic distribution cable. It is designed for structured cabling installations where air-handling spaces require low-smoke zero-halogen or plenum-compliant jacket ratings and where the cable run demands mechanical protection from an armored construction. The armored design resists crush, rodent damage, and accidental impact, making it suitable for demanding indoor pathways. This cable is typically specified and installed by licensed low-voltage and communications cabling contractors working in commercial or enterprise environments.

This cable is used in indoor horizontal and backbone distribution runs within commercial buildings, data centers, campuses, and enterprise facilities. Plenum rating qualifies it for installation in air-handling plenums and suspended ceiling spaces without requiring conduit in many jurisdictions. The singlemode fiber type supports long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission, making it appropriate for backbone interconnects between telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities. It ships as a single unit per order quantity.

Key Features

• 24-fiber count supports high-density distribution runs in a single cable
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Armored construction provides mechanical protection against crush and impact
• Singlemode fiber optimized for long-distance, high-bandwidth backbone applications
• Indoor distribution design for structured cabling pathways in commercial buildings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style distribution cable for indoor singlemode fiber optic cabling systems requiring plenum-rated armored construction in commercial and enterprise environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or communications cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. De-energize any active equipment connected to the fiber path before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable's minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to avoid attenuation or fiber damage. Plenum-rated cables installed in air-handling spaces should be routed per NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 requirements.
