Belden FI4D012R9A is an indoor OM4 fiber distribution cable designed for premise backbone installations. It is a tight buffered, non-unitized cable with 12 fibers, TIA-598-D color coding, and a durable Aqua PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 550 m at 850 nm and features max. attenuation of 3.0 dB/km (850 nm) and 1.0 dB/km (1300 nm). It meets OFNR and FT4 flammability / reaction to fire requirements and includes aramid yarns strength members.
