Panduit FFCDBX144-28M OS2 144 Fiber Indoor Outdoor

Product Description

The PANDUIT FFCDBX144-28M is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. With a 144-fiber count, this cable is built for high-density backbone runs where capacity and signal integrity are critical. OS2 single-mode construction supports long-distance, low-attenuation transmission, making it well suited for enterprise, campus, and industrial network infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling contractors are the typical installers for this type of cable.

This cable is designed for backbone cabling runs that transition between indoor and outdoor environments without requiring a separate splice point or transition enclosure. The dual-rated construction simplifies installation in mixed-environment pathways such as building entry points, conduit runs between structures, and riser applications. Its 144-fiber count serves high-density distribution frames and main cross-connect installations in commercial and institutional settings.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation performance
• 144-fiber count supports high-density backbone infrastructure
• Indoor-outdoor rated construction eliminates the need for a separate transition splice
• Suitable for conduit, direct burial preparation, and riser pathways depending on listing
• Sold as individual unit (EA) per manufacturer packaging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style backbone cable for high-density single-mode fiber optic distribution systems in commercial and campus network environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 fiber optic cabling requirements. Power down or de-energize any adjacent electrical systems before pulling cable through shared pathways. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulls, and use appropriate cable lubricant when pulling through conduit. Inspect all terminations and splices with an optical power meter before commissioning.
