Fiber optic cable OM3 B2ca U-DQ(ZN)BH universal flame retardant "FireHardy" MM 24G 50/125 LSOH ALANTEC FOK-U24G-MM-3-B

OM3 Fiber Optic Cable – Reliability and Transmission Security

This versatile OM3 fiber optic cable, designated FOK-U24G-MM-3-B, is an excellent solution for both installers and end-users. Designed for data transmission in local area networks, backbone networks, and CATV and FTTx systems, it provides high bandwidth and connection reliability. The cable features a construction with 24 fibers (MM - Multi Mode) with a diameter of 50/125 μm, guaranteeing optimal performance over shorter distances.

The cable is designed for versatility – it can be used both indoors and outdoors. Its universality results from the possibility of laying it in various conditions: in ducts, conduits, cable trays, or directly in the ground (provided it is not exposed to direct mechanical damage). The robust construction with non-metallic rodent protection and LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures the safety and durability of the installation. The optical fibers are additionally protected against moisture thanks to the use of a moisture-absorbing material.

Safety and compliance with standards

The cable meets strict safety standards and has a B2ca class according to regulation CPR 305/2011. This means that in the event of a fire, it does not spread flames, emits minimal smoke, and does not release corrosive gases. This makes it ideal for use in buildings with high safety requirements, such as hospitals, public buildings, and offices. In addition, the LSOH coating minimizes the risk of toxic substances forming during a possible fire.

Construction and installation

The cable has a central tube filled with hydrophobic gel, which further protects the optical fibers from moisture. The single-tube construction makes it easier to process the cable and splice individual fibers – an aspect particularly appreciated by installers. The individual fibers are color-coded for easy identification. The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 6.5 mm and its weight is approximately 45 kg for 24 fibers. The minimum bending radius during installation is R = 50 mm.

This fiber optic cable is an investment in a reliable and secure data connection that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.
