Optical Cable Corp. DX024DALT9QR 24-fiber OM3 Riser Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX024DALT9QR is a 24-fiber multimode riser-rated fiber optic cable built around OM3-grade 50-micron glass. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is optimized for use with 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser sources. The riser fire rating makes this cable suitable for vertical runs between building floors in accordance with NEC Article 770 requirements for riser-rated optical fiber cable. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this type of assembly in commercial and enterprise structured cabling systems.

This cable is intended for indoor riser pathways where vertical runs between floors require a CMR-equivalent fire rating for optical fiber. Typical installations include backbone cabling between telecom rooms and equipment rooms in multi-story commercial buildings. The 24-fiber count suits high-density distribution frames and patch environments where multiple links must be served from a single cable run. Low-voltage installers pull this cable through conduit or open riser pathways as part of a structured cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• 24-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution applications
• OM3 50-micron multimode glass optimized for 850 nm VCSEL laser sources
• Riser fire rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for vertical inter-floor runs
• Multimode design compatible with standard LC, SC, and ST multimode terminations
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser backbone cable for use in standard indoor multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems requiring OM3 50-micron performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network cabling technician familiar with NEC Article 770 optical fiber cabling requirements. De-energize and verify shutdown of any adjacent active equipment before pulling cable through shared pathways. Observe minimum bend radius specifications and avoid exceeding rated tensile load during pulls through conduit or open riser slots. Terminate and test with calibrated optical loss test equipment per TIA-568 procedures after installation.
