Belden Inc. HDSB0020218FB Hd OS2 Fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. HDSB0020218FB is a heavy-duty OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable configured in a 2-fiber, 2-count design. OS2 cables carry single-mode glass fiber optimized for long-distance, low-attenuation transmission in structured cabling and telecommunications infrastructure. This cable is suited for backbone, outside-plant, and building-to-building (BOTB) runs where signal integrity over extended distances is required. Licensed low-voltage contractors and fiber optic installers are the primary trades for termination and routing of this product.

This cable is designed for outside-plant and building-to-building fiber backbone applications. It is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial structured cabling systems where OS2 single-mode performance is specified. The 2-fiber count makes it a compact solution for point-to-point links or dedicated runs in conduit or aerial pathways. Installers working on campus networks, data centers, or inter-building connections will find this cable suitable for those structured fiber infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction for long-distance, low-loss optical transmission
• 2-fiber, 2-count configuration for compact point-to-point backbone runs
• Heavy-duty build suited for outside-plant and building-to-building routing
• Designed for use in conduit, aerial, or direct-burial-compatible pathways as specified by the installation design
• Sold individually as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber optic cable for structured cabling backbone and outside-plant applications requiring OS2 single-mode fiber in a 2-count configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or certified fiber optic technician following applicable codes including ANSI/TIA-568 and local NEC requirements. De-energize and verify all connected network equipment is powered down before terminating or splicing fiber. Observe minimum bend radius specifications during routing to prevent micro-bending losses. Use appropriate fiber fusion splicers or mechanical connectors rated for OS2 single-mode glass fiber.
