Optical Cable Corp. HC048DSLACKR 48-fiber Singlemode Riser

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. HC048DSLACKR is a 48-fiber singlemode riser-rated fiber optic cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Singlemode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission, making this cable suitable for backbone runs between floors or equipment rooms. The riser rating (OFNR) meets National Electrical Code requirements for installation in vertical shaft and riser pathways. Licensed low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is intended for indoor vertical riser applications in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus environments where singlemode fiber backbone infrastructure is required. The 48-fiber count supports high-density distribution frames and patch panel terminations. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and is appropriate for new construction as well as retrofit cabling projects requiring singlemode performance in a riser-compliant jacket.

Key Features

• 48-fiber singlemode construction for long-distance, high-bandwidth backbone applications
• Riser-rated (OFNR) jacket meets NEC requirements for vertical shaft installations
• High fiber count supports dense termination at patch panels and distribution frames
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style singlemode riser fiber cable for use with standard singlemode fiber termination hardware, patch panels, and distribution frames in commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and NEC Article 770 fiber optic cable requirements. De-energize and disconnect all active equipment connected to the fiber pathway before pulling cable. Observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius during installation to prevent fiber damage. Terminate and test with appropriate singlemode optical loss test equipment per project specifications.
