Optical Cable Corp. DX006TALT9QP OM3 Plenum Fiber Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX006TALT9QP is a 6-fiber multimode OM3 fiber optic cable rated for indoor/outdoor plenum environments. It is designed for structured cabling installations where the cable pathway passes through air-handling spaces or plenum ceilings, requiring a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard multimode runs. Licensed low-voltage contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for commercial and institutional building infrastructure projects where a single cable must transition between interior conduit runs and outdoor pathways without requiring a separate transition point. The plenum rating makes it appropriate for routing through HVAC air-handling spaces per applicable fire codes. Typical applications include backbone cabling between telecom rooms, horizontal runs in open-ceiling commercial spaces, and campus distribution segments that enter a building directly.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Plenum-rated jacket meets smoke and flame requirements for air-handling space installations
• Indoor/outdoor dual-rated construction eliminates the need for a separate transition enclosure
• 6-fiber count suits small backbone and distribution runs
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation option for 6-fiber multimode OM3 plenum cable assemblies in structured cabling systems using standard LC, SC, or ST multimode connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications contractor familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local fire codes governing plenum-rated pathways. De-energize any active equipment in the cable pathway before pulling the cable. Avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius during installation, and do not exceed rated pulling tension to prevent fiber stress or breakage.
