Panduit FFDPBF024F OS2 24-Fiber Plenum Indoor Bulk Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FFDPBF024F Opti-Core® bulk indoor distribution cable provides a robust solution for high-density fiber optic network backbones. Featuring 24 fibers of OS2 (G.657.A2) bend-insensitive glass in a ribbon configuration, this cable is designed for plenum spaces where fire safety and performance are critical. Its construction supports reliable data transmission in demanding enterprise and data center environments.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for termination with standard fiber optic connectors and splicing equipment compatible with 250µm coated fibers. It integrates into broader fiber optic systems infrastructure, supporting connectivity for network switches, servers, and active equipment within structured cabling deployments. Specific compatibility depends on the termination method and the active equipment's optical transceiver specifications.

Installation Notes

The OFNP (Plenum) rating ensures compliance for installation in air-handling spaces. The ribbon fiber construction allows for mass fusion splicing, improving installation efficiency for high-fiber-count applications. Minimum bend radius for this OS2 cable is 20mm for the jacket and 7.5mm for the fiber ribbon itself, crucial for preventing signal loss in tight installations.
