Overview

The Panduit FSLR972 is a 72-fiber, OS2, Riser (OFCR) rated indoor/outdoor armored tight buffered cable. This robust cable construction incorporates 900-micron buffered fibers, providing enhanced protection and ease of handling during installation. The armored design offers superior crush resistance and rodent protection, making it suitable for demanding environments where cable integrity is paramount. Its OS2 single-mode fiber specification ensures high bandwidth and long-distance transmission capabilities, ideal for backbone and distribution applications in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks. The Riser (OFCR) rating signifies its suitability for use in vertical pathways within buildings, adhering to safety standards. Manufactured in the USA, the FSLR972 (SKU: FSLR972) by Panduit delivers reliable performance for critical fiber optic infrastructure. Its tight buffered construction simplifies termination and splicing processes compared to loose tube designs, contributing to faster deployment times. This cable is engineered for environments requiring a durable, protected fiber optic pathway that can withstand physical stress while maintaining signal integrity over extended distances. The combination of its armored jacket, OS2 fiber, and Riser rating makes it a versatile solution for various network architectures.
