Optical Cable Corp. DX012TALT9QP 12 Fiber Multimode Plenum Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX012TALT9QP is a 12-fiber distribution-style fiber optic cable built with 50/125 multimode glass. It is rated for plenum environments, meaning it meets the smoke and flame requirements for installation inside air-handling spaces such as above-ceiling plenums and raised-access floors. Distribution-style construction houses multiple individually buffered fibers inside a single jacket, keeping the assembly compact and routable through conduit or cable trays. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the typical trade that pulls and terminates this cable.

This cable is suited for horizontal and backbone runs in commercial buildings where multimode fiber is specified for data, voice, or video infrastructure. The 50/125 multimode fiber type supports high-bandwidth applications including Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical intrabuilding distances. Its plenum rating makes it appropriate for open-ceiling office builds, data center distribution runs, and any pathway classified as a plenum air space under NFPA 90A and NEC Article 770 requirements.

Key Features

• 12-fiber count in a single distribution-style jacket
• 50/125 multimode glass fiber supports high-bandwidth LAN applications
• Plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 and NFPA 90A smoke and flame requirements
• Distribution construction with individually buffered fibers for direct termination or breakout
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 50/125 multimode fiber optic connectors and termination hardware in commercial structured cabling systems. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician familiar with NEC Article 770 fiber optic wiring requirements. De-energize all active equipment on the fiber pathway before pulling cable to avoid damage to transceivers or active ports. Observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius during pull and routing to prevent fiber stress or microbending loss. In plenum spaces, verify the cable jacket rating is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction before rough-in.
