Panduit FSWN924 OS2 24 Fiber Outside Plant Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FSWN924 is a 9-micrometer OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable designed for outside plant installations. This 24-fiber cable is engineered for long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission in demanding outdoor environments. OS2 single-mode fiber supports extended reach runs that multi-mode cable cannot match, making it a standard choice for campus backbone, utility, and infrastructure cabling projects. Licensed low-voltage and datacom contractors install this cable in conduit, direct-burial, or aerial applications depending on the jacket and construction type.

The FSWN924 is suited for outside plant deployments where 24 fiber strands are required in a single run. Typical applications include inter-building campus connections, municipal fiber infrastructure, industrial plant backbones, and telecommunications distribution networks. Its OS2 specification aligns with ITU-T G.652.D standards for single-mode transmission, supporting high-bandwidth applications over distances that exceed the practical limits of OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fiber.

Key Features

• 9-micrometer OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation transmission
• 24-fiber count in a single cable assembly for high-density outside plant runs
• Outside plant construction rated for demanding outdoor installation environments
• Compatible with standard SC, LC, and ST single-mode termination hardware
• Supports extended-reach backbone and campus distribution cabling

Compatibility

Designed as an outside plant single-mode fiber optic cable for use in conduit, aerial, or direct-burial infrastructure applications requiring 24-fiber OS2 single-mode capacity.

Installation Notes

Outside plant fiber optic cable should be installed by licensed low-voltage or telecommunications contractors familiar with TIA-568 and TIA-758 standards. De-energize any co-located electrical infrastructure before trenching or pulling cable. Observe minimum bend radius specifications during pull and after installation to avoid fiber stress. Terminate using fusion splicing or mechanical connectors appropriate for OS2 single-mode fiber.
