Overview

The Panduit FSLP996 is a high-density, 96-fiber indoor/outdoor armored tight-buffered cable designed for robust network infrastructure. This OS2 single-mode cable features a plenum (OFCP) rated jacket, ensuring compliance with stringent fire safety codes for use in air-handling spaces. The cable construction incorporates 900μm buffered fibers, providing excellent protection and ease of termination. Its interlocking armor offers superior crush protection and defense against rodent attacks, making it suitable for demanding environments where traditional conduit or innerduct may be impractical or cost-prohibitive. This design significantly reduces installation material and labor costs, potentially by up to 25%, by eliminating the need for separate conduit systems. The armored construction also allows for a higher concentration of cables within a given area. Manufactured in the USA, the FSLP996 is engineered for reliability and performance in interbuilding backbone, data center, and horizontal distribution applications. Its indoor/outdoor rating provides versatility for installations that transition between environments. The OS2 fiber type supports high-bandwidth, long-distance data transmission, meeting or exceeding ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D standards. The plenum rating (OFCP) is critical for applications requiring adherence to specific fire safety and smoke emission standards. This cable is an ideal solution for network architects and installers seeking a durable, cost-effective, and high-performance fiber optic cable for critical infrastructure deployments.
