Panduit FSDL924 24 Fiber Cable

Overview

The Panduit Opti-Core® FSDL924 is a 24-fiber, OS2, indoor bulk fiber optic cable designed for network infrastructure deployments where robust performance and safety are paramount. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rating makes it suitable for environments with stringent fire safety regulations, such as public buildings, data centers, and enterprise networks. The 900µm tight-buffered fiber construction provides individual fiber protection, simplifying termination and enhancing durability compared to loose-tube designs.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard fiber optic termination tools, connectors, and splicing equipment compatible with OS2 single-mode fiber. It integrates with various fiber optic patch panels, distribution boxes, and network equipment that accept 24-fiber OS2 cables. While not specific to a particular vendor's active equipment, its OS2 specification ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 40GbE, and 100GbE applications over extended distances, provided the connected active equipment supports these standards.

Installation Notes

Featuring a yellow, LSZH-rated jacket, the FSDL924 is easily identifiable. The 900µm buffered fibers offer enhanced protection but require careful handling during termination to avoid damage. Ensure adequate bend radius is maintained throughout the installation to prevent signal loss or fiber breakage. The cable's small size facilitates routing in crowded conduit or plenum spaces.
