This black 500-foot spool of armored fiber optic distribution cable is intended to use for long-distance indoor runs at high data transfer speeds which is necessary to power today's advanced networks and current - as well as future - infrastructure needs. The armor eliminates the need for a separate conduit.

Our quality cable consists of 6 Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fibers (9-micron core) inside an aramid yarn wrapped in a flame-retardant yellow PVC outer jacket. This out jacket effectively allows for flexibility, as well as protects the 9 um core from environmental hazards that can damage or diminish the core's function.

Single mode fiber is optimized to work with fiber optic equipment using light wave lengths of 1310nm (nanometers) or 1550nm, and has a maximum attenuation of (0.5/0.4) dB/Km. The cladding diameter is 125 microns.

This particular cable is Riser Rated or OFNR (Optical Fiber, nonconductive, riser) meaning it complies with UL-1666. It is for usage in vertical tray applications without environmental air. Examples being: cable runs between floors through cable risers or in elevator shafts. These cables self extinguish and prevent the flame from traveling up the cable in a vertical burn test. This fiber optic cable is solidly constructed, UL rated and RoHS Compliant.

* This is not gopher cable.
