Superior Essex W3072NG01 Multimode Plenum Fiber Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX W3072NG01 is a multimode plenum-rated fiber optic cable designed for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceiling environments where fire and smoke ratings are required by code. Plenum-rated construction meets the stricter burn and smoke requirements mandated for HVAC air-return pathways and above-ceiling plenum spaces. This cable is suited for backbone and horizontal runs in commercial and institutional buildings where network infrastructure and fire code compliance must be addressed simultaneously. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is applicable to commercial, institutional, and multi-tenant building environments that require plenum-rated fiber optic cabling in accordance with NEC Article 770 governing optical fiber cables in air-handling spaces. Typical installations include above-ceiling horizontal runs, vertical riser pathways designated for plenum cable, and any conduit or open-air routing through HVAC plenum zones. No specific compatible equipment model numbers were provided in the product data.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated construction suitable for installation in air-handling and plenum ceiling spaces
• Multimode fiber type supports high-bandwidth data transmission over typical intra-building distances
• OFNR or equivalent plenum designation meets NEC fire and smoke propagation requirements
• Sold as a single unit (each) per the supplier unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation cable for multimode fiber optic network infrastructure in plenum-rated commercial building environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractor familiar with NEC Article 770 requirements for optical fiber cable in plenum spaces. De-energize all adjacent electrical circuits and follow building fire-stop and pathway-fill procedures before routing cable through plenum zones. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and termination. Verify plenum rating markings on the cable jacket before installation to confirm code compliance for the specific air-handling space.
