Leviton 49887-6S Fiber Optic Fanout Kit 6 Fiber 24 Inch

Product Description

The LEVITON 49887-6S is a fiber optic fanout kit designed to protect bare fiber and prepare loose tube cable for direct termination to industry standard connectors. The kit provides 24 inches of fanout tubing that separates 250 micron fibers and routes them into color-coded 900 micron buffer tubes. Constructed from ABS plastic, it supports up to 6 fibers and requires no proprietary tools for installation. The kit is rated for temperatures from -10 to 65 degrees C, making it suitable for a range of indoor structured cabling environments. Low-voltage cabling technicians and fiber installation crews rely on this kit for clean, organized terminations on loose tube cable assemblies.

The 49887-6S is used on loose tube cabling applications where individual fibers must be separated, protected, and routed for termination to industry standard connectors. It is well suited for residential and commercial structured cabling projects, data centers, and telecommunications closets where loose tube cable is being terminated in patch panels, enclosures, or splice trays. The color-coded buffer tubes aid in fiber identification during termination and ongoing maintenance.

Key Features

• Protects bare fiber and prepares loose tube cable for direct termination to industry standard connectors
• Separates 250 micron fibers into color-coded 900 micron buffer tubes
• 24 inches of fanout tubing included
• Supports 6 fibers per kit
• No proprietary tools required for installation
• ABS plastic construction rated for -10 to 65 degrees C operating temperature

Compatibility

Designed for use on loose tube cabling with industry standard connectors. Compatible with 250 micron bare fiber being transitioned to 900 micron buffer tubes for standard connector termination.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or fiber optic splicing crews. Before beginning, ensure the cable run is de-energized and any active transceivers are disconnected. Follow TIA-568 or applicable local structured cabling standards for fiber handling and bend radius requirements. No proprietary tools are required, but standard fiber preparation tools such as strippers, cleavers, and epoxy applicators should be on hand for full termination work.
