West Penn Wire WP9B611T 24-fiber OM1 Multimode Fiber Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE WP9B611T is a 24-fiber, 62.5/125 micrometer OM1 multimode fiber optic cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. The 62.5/125 um core-to-cladding construction follows the OM1 multimode standard, supporting LED and laser-based transmission in short- to medium-distance runs. With 24 fibers in a single cable assembly, it reduces conduit fill and simplifies termination compared to running multiple smaller bundles. Licensed low-voltage contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the typical installers for this cable type.

This cable is suited for structured cabling projects in commercial buildings, campus environments, and industrial facilities where a single cable must transition between indoor plenum or riser spaces and outdoor aerial or direct-burial pathways. The dual-rated indoor/outdoor construction eliminates the need for a separate transition splice point at the building entry, which reduces materials and labor on backbone and inter-building fiber runs.

Key Features

• 24-fiber count in a single cable for high-density backbone runs
• 62.5/125 micrometer OM1 multimode core construction
• Dual-rated for indoor and outdoor installation environments
• Multimode design supports LED and VCSEL light sources
• Reduces conduit fill versus multiple smaller fiber bundles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber optic cable for use with standard OM1 multimode connectors, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware compatible with 62.5/125 micrometer multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 requirements for optical fiber cabling. De-energize all active equipment connected to the fiber pathway before splicing or terminating. Observe minimum bend radius specifications for the cable during pulling and final routing to avoid attenuation increases or fiber damage. Outdoor segments should be properly supported and protected per local building and electrical codes.
