Superior Essex F403-012U13-3991 12-fiber Plenum Fiber Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX F403-012U13-3991 is a 12-fiber singlemode plenum-rated fiber optic cable designed for indoor structured cabling installations where fire code compliance is required. Built to the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive singlemode standard, this cable is suited for runs through air-handling spaces, drop ceilings, and raised floors where plenum-rated jacket materials are required by code. It ships as a single unit and is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, data communications contractors, and telecom infrastructure specialists working on commercial or enterprise network projects.

This cable is appropriate for indoor horizontal and backbone fiber runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus environments where plenum-rated materials are required by the NEC. The G.657.A1 bend-insensitive specification makes it a practical choice for tight routing paths, conduit bends, and cable management systems where conventional singlemode fiber may be prone to bending loss. The slate jacket finish is a common color designation used for singlemode fiber identification per industry convention.

Key Features

• 12-fiber singlemode construction for high-density indoor fiber runs
• G.657.A1 bend-insensitive singlemode performance standard reduces bend-induced signal loss
• Plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling spaces
• Slate jacket color consistent with singlemode fiber identification conventions
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum singlemode fiber optic cable for use with standard singlemode fiber optic connectors, patch panels, and enclosures in indoor structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 770 and applicable local building codes. De-energize all associated active equipment before terminating or splicing fiber runs. Observe the cable's minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to maintain signal integrity, and avoid exceeding rated pulling tension during installation.
