Superior Essex 44012K101 12 Fiber Singlemode Riser Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 44012K101 is a 12-fiber singlemode riser-rated fiber optic cable designed for low-loss optical signal transmission in building backbone and riser installations. Singlemode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission with minimal signal attenuation, making it a standard choice for telecommunications and data network infrastructure. This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage contractors, network technicians, and structured cabling professionals. The riser rating indicates compliance with vertical-run fire code requirements, allowing installation in inter-floor conduit and riser pathways without the need for plenum-rated material in those applications.

This cable is suited for commercial and institutional building infrastructure where vertical fiber runs connect floors, equipment rooms, and telecom closets. Typical applications include campus backbone cabling, data center vertical runs, and building entrance facility connections. The 12-fiber count supports consolidation of multiple singlemode circuits within a single cable pathway, reducing conduit fill and simplifying termination management in mid-scale deployments.

Key Features

• 12-fiber singlemode (SMF) construction for long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission
• Riser-rated (OFNR) for code-compliant vertical installation between floors
• Singlemode fiber type supports extended reach without signal regeneration
• 12-fiber count allows multiple circuit consolidation in a single cable run
• Sold as individual unit (each) for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style singlemode riser fiber optic cable suitable for standard structured cabling systems using singlemode fiber connectors and termination hardware in riser and backbone pathways.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technicians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize and isolate all active optical equipment connected to the pathway before pulling or terminating fiber. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during pulls to prevent microbending losses. Riser-rated cables are approved for vertical runs between floors but must be transitioned to plenum-rated cable where installation passes through air-handling spaces.
