Black Box FOBC55-IOM1-BK-06F-1600 Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
The Black Box FOBC55-IOM1-BK-06F-1600 is a 1600-foot bulk fiber optic cable designed for extending network connectivity in surveillance and data transmission applications. This cable features 6 strands of OM1 multimode fiber, suitable for shorter-distance, high-bandwidth runs where reliable data transfer is critical. Its indoor/outdoor rating allows for deployment in varied environments, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate indoor and outdoor rated cables when transitioning between spaces. The cable is specified as OFNP (Plenum rated), making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces within commercial buildings, a requirement for many compliance standards.
Compatibility
This 6-strand OM1 fiber optic cable is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, and patch panels that support OM1 multimode fiber specifications. It is commonly used to connect IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs in enterprise and industrial settings. Specific compatibility extends to systems requiring up to 1600 feet of fiber connectivity for data transmission, such as extending a network backbone or linking remote camera arrays back to a central recording system. Ensure your network interface cards (NICs), media converters, or SFP modules are rated for OM1 fiber to achieve optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The minimum bend radius for this cable is 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) when not under load and 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) when under load. Exceeding these bend radii can cause fiber attenuation or damage. The cable is rated for outdoor use, implying resistance to UV and moisture, but direct burial is not recommended without an additional protective conduit. The OFNP rating indicates it can be run through plenum spaces, but installers must adhere to local building codes and fire safety regulations regarding plenum cable installation. Termination requires standard LC, SC, or ST connectors suitable for 62.5/125 micron fiber.
