Product Description
This M50MD96C4NPA20-A TLC Micro-Distribution Data Center High Density Cable combines high fiber counts with a compact, space saving design.
The Light Connection, Inc. 96-288 fiber Micro Distribution Cable is composed of single tube or two to eight buffer tubes, a central member (if applicable), aramid yarn, an aramid ripcord, and a PVC outer jacket. Each buffer tube consists of 12 colored glass fibers surrounded by aramid yarn with a PVC jacket 2.95mm in diameter. All component materials meet the EU RoHS and REACH Directive standards. Buffer tubes may be color-coded or sequentially numbered. TLC Micro Distribution Cable is available in 12 TIA standard colors or special-order colors. UL Listed OFNP cables are available, unrated cables may be supplied to accommodate special needs. Standard surface print denotes construction, NEC rating and fiber type, and includes footage markers.
This 96 fiber, OM4 cable is rated for an indoor campus environment. It is a micro distribution, Data Center High Density, Plenum rated cable, jacketed in Aqua with 9.3mm OD - 2.0mm subs.
