Panduit FFDDBF144-18M Bulk Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit Opti-Core® FFDDBF144-18M is a 144-fiber OS2 indoor flat ribbon bulk cable designed for high-density network backbones. Its Riser (OFNR) and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) ratings, combined with EuroClass B2ca fire safety certification, make it suitable for installation within commercial buildings where stringent fire performance is required. This cable addresses the need for scalable, high-bandwidth connectivity in enterprise data centers, campus networks, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Compatibility

This bulk fiber optic cable is compatible with standard fiber optic termination and splicing equipment designed for OS2 single-mode fiber. It is intended for use with Panduit's extensive range of fiber optic connectors, splice closures, and patch panels within the Opti-Core® and general fiber optic systems product lines. Ensure your network interface devices and transceivers support OS2 fiber specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The FFDDBF144-18M cable features a flat ribbon design for efficient termination. Its Riser/LSZH construction necessitates adherence to local building codes for plenum and riser spaces. The yellow cable jacket aids in identification. Minimum bend radius during installation should not be less than 10 times the cable diameter to prevent fiber stress and signal degradation. The cable is CPR rated B2ca, indicating a high standard of fire performance in construction products.
