Panduit FSMP972Y OS2 72 Fiber Indoor Outdoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FSMP972Y is a 9 micrometer OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. Built with 72 individual fibers, this cable supports high-bandwidth, long-distance data transmission in structured cabling systems. The OS2 designation indicates a low-water-peak, single-mode construction optimized for wavelengths in the 1310 nm and 1550 nm range. Its plenum-rated jacket meets the requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for enterprise, institutional, and industrial backbone runs where a single cable must serve both indoor risers and outdoor pathways without a transition splice. The 72-fiber count supports high-density distribution frames and MTP or LC-terminated pre-terminated assemblies. Typical applications include inter-building runs, campus backbones, and data center interconnects where OS2 single-mode performance is required over extended distances.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode 9 micrometer fiber optimized for long-distance, low-loss transmission
• 72-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution cabling
• Indoor-outdoor rated construction eliminates the need for a transition splice at building entry
• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for installation in air-handling plenums per fire code requirements
• Sold individually as a single unit per order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation cable for OS2 single-mode fiber optic backbone systems requiring a plenum-rated indoor-outdoor cable assembly.

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 requirements for optical fiber cable. De-energize all active equipment connected to the fiber path before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to avoid microbend losses. Plenum-rated cables must be installed in plenum air-handling spaces as defined by the local authority having jurisdiction.
