Overview

The Panduit FOLPX12 is a 12-fiber indoor/outdoor armored tight-buffered fiber optic cable rated for OM3 performance with a Plenum (OFCP) flame rating. This cable features 900µm buffered fibers for enhanced durability and ease of termination, making it ideal for high-density data center, backbone, and horizontal installations. The armored construction provides superior crush resistance and rodent protection, eliminating the need for conduit in many applications. The all-dielectric design requires no grounding or bonding, reducing installation complexity and cost. With OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber, the FOLPX12 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 300 meters, ensuring reliable high-speed connectivity. The plenum-rated jacket meets strict fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces without additional innerduct. The dry water-blocking technology prevents moisture ingress without the mess of traditional petroleum-based gels, simplifying installation and maintenance. This cable is listed for OFNP/FT6 and OFNR/FT4 environments, offering versatility for both indoor and outdoor use in a single cable. The tight-buffered design enables fast, consistent stripping for termination, while the small diameter and high tensile strength facilitate easy cable routing and installation. Suitable for interbuilding backbones, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring robust, high-performance fiber connectivity.
