Belden Inc. FSSH1446G OS2 144-fiber Outside Plant Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FSSH1446G is a hardened OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable assembly rated for outside plant installations. OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, low-loss transmission, making this assembly a fit for backbone runs between buildings, campus distribution systems, and other outdoor or harsh-environment applications. With a 144-fiber count, this assembly is suited for high-density deployments where a large number of optical paths must be routed through a single conduit or duct. It is sold as an individual unit and is installed by licensed low-voltage or outside plant technicians.

This cable assembly is designed for outside plant use, including direct-buried, conduit, or aerial pathways depending on the specific construction of the assembly. The hardened construction is intended to withstand mechanical stress, temperature variation, and moisture exposure common in outdoor runs. Typical installation scenarios include campus backbone links, inter-building fiber distribution, and utility or telecommunications infrastructure where 144 OS2 fibers are required in a single cable run.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation transmission
• 144-fiber count supports high-density outside plant backbone deployments
• Hardened construction suited for mechanically and environmentally demanding outdoor installations
• Outside plant rated for conduit, aerial, or direct-buried pathways as appropriate
• Sold as individual unit for straightforward procurement and project staging

Compatibility

Designed as an OS2 single-mode outside plant fiber optic cable assembly suitable for high-density backbone and distribution runs in commercial, campus, and industrial outside plant fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified outside plant or low-voltage fiber optic technicians following applicable local codes and TIA-568 or TIA-758 standards. Power down or de-energize any active equipment connected to the fiber path before terminating or splicing. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulling and routing. Proper fiber handling tools, including cable lubricant for conduit pulls and appropriate strain-relief hardware, should be used throughout installation.
