Panduit FSIRA01Y Bulk Fiber Optic Indoor Cable

Overview

The Panduit FSIRA01Y Opti-Core® is a single-strand, OS2, riser-rated (OFNR) indoor bulk fiber optic cable designed for structured cabling deployments. Its 900-micron buffered fiber construction offers robust protection for the fiber core, making it suitable for patch panel terminations and distribution frames within commercial buildings. The bright yellow jacket ensures easy identification and differentiation from other cable types in a crowded conduit or rack environment. This cable is intended for use in backbone or horizontal cabling runs where a single fiber connection is required, such as for point-to-point data links or fiber-to-the-desk applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with standard fiber optic termination tools and connectors designed for OS2 single-mode fiber. It is suitable for use with Panduit's Opti-Core® fiber optic systems, including patch panels, splice trays, and fiber optic enclosures. The 900-micron buffer is designed to work with common field-installable connectors and fusion splicing techniques. Ensure your termination and splicing equipment is rated for 900-micron buffered fiber to achieve optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The FSIRA01Y features a riser (OFNR) flammability rating, making it compliant for use within the non-plenum spaces of commercial buildings in North America. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 20x the fiber diameter for OS2) to prevent signal loss or fiber damage. The 900-micron buffer provides mechanical protection but requires careful handling during termination to avoid kinking or crushing the fiber.
