Overview

The Panduit FSNP948Y is a high-density, 48-fiber OS2 (Singlemode) indoor/outdoor cable designed for versatile deployment in both controlled building environments and demanding outside plant (OSP) conditions. This cable features a plenum (OFNP) rating, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke performance are critical. The cable utilizes 250µm fibers, providing a compact yet robust fiber optic solution. A key innovation is its dry water blocking technology, employing super absorbent polymers (SAPs) within the fiber tubes and the cable core. This eliminates the need for traditional petroleum-based gels, simplifying installation and maintenance by removing the messy cleanup associated with gel-filled cables. The FSNP948Y offers a seamless transition from outdoor to indoor environments without compromising mechanical or optical performance, eliminating the need for separate transition cables and associated cost savings in materials, labor, and optical loss budgets. Its all-dielectric construction requires no grounding or bonding, further simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. This cable is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of OSP installations while adhering to indoor flame-retardant standards. Available in OS2 Singlemode fiber, this cable is ideal for high-bandwidth applications requiring long-distance transmission, such as data centers, campus backbones, and telecommunications networks. The Panduit FSNP948Y (SKU: FSNP948Y) is manufactured in the USA.
