Optical Cable Corp. DZ012TSLX9YPI8 Plenum Armored Fiber Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DZ012TSLX9YPI8 is a 12-strand singlemode armored fiber optic cable rated for plenum-grade indoor and outdoor installation. Designed for structured cabling runs in commercial and industrial environments, this cable meets the fire and smoke requirements associated with plenum-rated applications. The armored construction provides mechanical protection against crush, rodent damage, and rough handling during pull-through in conduit or direct-burial-adjacent pathways. Licensed low-voltage and fiber technicians typically specify this cable where both plenum compliance and physical durability are required in a single product.

This cable is suited for backbone, riser, and horizontal runs in commercial buildings where the cable pathway passes through air-handling spaces. The singlemode fiber type supports high-bandwidth, long-distance transmission, making it appropriate for campus interconnects, data center runs, and telecom room-to-room links. The combined indoor and outdoor rating allows installers to use a single continuous run from exterior entry points through plenum ceiling spaces without requiring a transition splice or separate outdoor-rated segment.

Key Features

• 12-strand singlemode fiber construction for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke propagation requirements for air-handling spaces
• Armored design resists crush, abrasion, and mechanical stress during installation
• Dual indoor and outdoor rating eliminates the need for a mid-span transition splice
• Sold individually as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style singlemode plenum armored fiber cable suitable for standard LC, SC, or ST termination 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 fiber optic technician familiar with TIA-568 and NFPA 90A requirements for plenum-rated cable. De-energize any associated active equipment before terminating or splicing. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulls, and use appropriate cable lubricant in conduit runs to avoid jacket damage. Verify that all penetrations through fire-rated assemblies are properly firestopped per local building codes.
