Optical Cable Corp. DX012DWLS9KR 12-fiber OM1 Riser Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX012DWLS9KR is a 12-fiber multimode optical cable rated for both indoor and outdoor riser installations. It uses 62.5/125 micron OM1 multimode glass fiber, the standard core size for legacy and active multimode networks. The riser rating meets the vertical-run fire resistance requirements defined in NFPA 70, making it suitable for installation in building risers and vertical cable pathways between floors. Licensed low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians are the primary trades that handle this type of cable.

This cable is designed for building backbone runs where 62.5 micron OM1 multimode fiber is specified or already in use. Its indoor/outdoor dual rating means a single continuous cable can transition from an exterior entry point into a riser pathway without requiring a splice or transition enclosure at the building entry. Typical applications include inter-floor backbone links, campus building entries, and riser distribution runs in commercial and institutional facilities.

Key Features

• 12-fiber count in a single cable jacket for backbone density
• 62.5/125 micron OM1 multimode fiber for compatibility with installed legacy multimode networks
• Dual-rated for indoor and outdoor use, eliminating the need for a transition splice at building entry
• Riser (CMR) fire rating meets NFPA 70 vertical-run requirements
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser fiber cable for use in structured cabling systems that specify 62.5/125 micron OM1 multimode fiber on backbone or riser segments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 governing optical fiber cables. De-energize any active equipment connected to the fiber path before handling connectors or terminations. Observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to avoid microbend losses. Do not exceed the rated tensile load during pulls through conduit or cable trays.
