Overview

The Panduit FSWN91A is a 144-fiber, outside plant (OSP) armored cable designed for robust connectivity in challenging environments. This cable features a single armor layer and a single jacket, providing a balance of protection and flexibility. It utilizes OS2 single-mode fiber, optimized for high bandwidth and long-distance data transmission. Each fiber has a 250 micrometer (µm) diameter, a standard size for single-mode applications. The non-rated designation indicates its suitability for general outside plant deployment where specific fire or plenum ratings are not mandated. Manufactured in the USA, the FSWN91A (SKU: FSWN91A) offers reliable performance for network infrastructure requiring a high fiber count with physical protection against environmental factors and potential crushing. Its construction is engineered for direct burial or duct installation, ensuring signal integrity for critical data pathways. This cable is an essential component for telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring dependable outside plant fiber optic connectivity. The OS2 fiber type supports wavelengths up to 1625 nm, making it compatible with a wide range of modern optical networking equipment and protocols.
