Belden FISD012A9 is an indoor OS2 fiber distribution cable designed for premise backbone runs. It features 12 tight-buffered fibers with TIA-598-D color coding, PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride buffer construction, and a yellow PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket system. The design includes AIA - Aluminum Interlock Armor and aramid yarn strength members for added durability. Optical characteristics are specified at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, with max. attenuation of 0.50 dB/km at both wavelengths.
