Belden Inc. TUSLG048RI2N OS2 48-fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. TUSLG048RI2N is a tight-buffered, 48-fiber OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable designed for indoor structured cabling installations. Tight-buffered construction protects individual fibers during termination and simplifies connectorization without the need for a breakout kit. The OS2 single-mode designation supports long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission, making this cable a practical choice for backbone runs, riser pathways, and campus interconnects. Electricians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cable in commercial and institutional environments where performance, bend tolerance, and long-term reliability are required.

This cable is suited for indoor riser and general-purpose fiber runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus backbone applications. The tight-buffered design supports direct termination in patch panels, fiber enclosures, and splice trays. It is appropriate for structured cabling installations following ANSI/TIA standards for OS2 single-mode fiber. Installers working on horizontal or vertical backbone runs will find this format straightforward to route through conduit and cable trays.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth backbone applications
• 48-fiber count provides high density in a single cable run
• Tight-buffered construction enables direct termination without breakout kits
• Indoor-rated design suitable for riser and general commercial installations
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit indoor fiber optic cable for OS2 single-mode structured cabling systems in commercial and institutional environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified electrician familiar with ANSI/TIA fiber optic cabling standards. De-energize any active equipment connected to the fiber path before termination work begins. Observe minimum bend radius requirements during pulling and routing to avoid microbend losses. Do not exceed the cable's rated tensile load during installation pulls.
