Superior Essex 44012PGBB 12-fiber OM4 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 44012PGBB is a 12-fiber multimode plenum-rated fiber optic cable built to OM4 specification with a 50-micron core diameter. Rated OFNP for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings, this cable meets fire and smoke propagation requirements demanded by commercial building codes. At 1 meter in length, it is primarily used as a patch cord or short interconnect segment. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians are the typical installers for this cable in structured cabling systems.

This cable is suited for high-bandwidth backbone and horizontal runs in commercial and enterprise environments where plenum-rated materials are required by code. The OM4 50-micron multimode specification supports high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances, making it appropriate for data centers, server rooms, and office network infrastructure. The 1-meter length is typical for equipment rack patching and cross-connect applications.

Key Features

• 12-fiber count for multi-channel transmission in a single cable assembly
• OM4 multimode specification supports high-speed data applications
• 50-micron core diameter for compatibility with laser-optimized transceivers
• OFNP plenum rating meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1-meter length suited for rack-level patch and interconnect use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fiber optic patch cable for use in OM4 multimode structured cabling systems requiring OFNP-rated components in plenum-space installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of plenum-rated fiber optic cable should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for plenum spaces. Power down all active equipment connected to the fiber path before disconnecting or reconnecting cable assemblies. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not over-tighten cable management hardware around fiber assemblies. Inspect and clean fiber end-faces before mating connectors to avoid signal loss.
