Overview

The Panduit FSCR912Y is a 12-fiber, OS2, Riser (OFNR) rated indoor/outdoor central tube cable designed for versatile deployment in both indoor and outdoor environments without compromise. This cable utilizes dry water blocking technology, employing super absorbent polymers instead of traditional petroleum-based gels within the fiber tubes and the cable core. This dry construction eliminates the need for cleaning gels during installation and termination, simplifying the process and reducing labor costs. The FSCR912Y meets the demanding requirements for outside plant installations while also being suitable for indoor applications. Its all-dielectric construction requires no grounding or bonding, further simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. This cable offers a seamless transition from outside plant to indoor cabling, eliminating the need for separate cable types and the associated material and optical loss budget savings. The 250µm fibers ensure reliable signal transmission for OS2 single-mode applications. Manufactured in the USA, this Panduit cable is engineered for robust performance and longevity in diverse environmental conditions. Its central tube design provides a compact and efficient fiber pathway. The Riser (OFNR) rating makes it suitable for use in non-plenum applications within buildings, adhering to safety standards. The Panduit FSCR912Y is an ideal solution for network infrastructure requiring a single, reliable cable for both indoor and outdoor segments, offering cost and installation efficiencies.

How to Install the FSCR912Y Fiber Optic Cable

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and preparation of the FSCR912Y fiber optic cable, including sheath removal, core preparation, and fiber preparation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Sheath knife, Approved cable cutters, Needle nose pliers, Buffer tube removal tool, Primary coating stripping tool, Scissors/Snips

Supplies needed:

Clean cotton cloths, Tape measure, Water absorbent tape, Binder strings, Flame barrier tape

  1. Remove the cable sheath

    Mark a length of six feet (2 meters) from the end of the cable on the outer sheath. Use a sheath knife to ring the circumference of the sheath at this mark, then gently flex the cable to separate and remove the sheath.

  2. Prepare the cable core

    Once the outer sheath is removed, cut the ripcord and unwrap the binder strings around the buffer tubes. Remove any water absorbent tape and cut the central strength member to the proper length for the closure being used.

  3. Access the optical fibers

    Using a buffer tube removal tool, score the buffer tubes to expose the fibers. Mark the tubes to be accessed and carefully slit them without damaging the fibers. Wipe any excess thixotropic gel from the exposed fibers with a clean cloth.

  4. Strip the optical fibers

    Cut the fibers to the appropriate length for termination. Use a primary coating stripping tool to remove the 250 μm diameter coating from the fibers, followed by a wipe with an alcohol-dampened cloth to remove any debris.
