DIGITUS Installation Cable Indoor/Outdoor A/I-DQ (ZN) BH OM3 50/125µm 12 fibers CPR Dca LSZH

The DIGITUS Installation Cable Indoor/Outdoor A/I-DQ (ZN) BH OM3 50/125µm 12 fibers CPR Dca LSZH is a versatile fiber optic cable engineered for both indoor and outdoor networking environments. Featuring an OM3 50/125µm fiber optic type with 12 fibers and a U-DQ(ZN) BH cable construction, this installation cable provides reliable performance for high-speed data transmission. It incorporates a low smoke zero halogen LSZH jacket with a CPR Dca fire rating, ensuring safety and compliance in modern installations. The design includes glass yarn armoring, non-metal rodent protection, and longitudinal as well as lateral water resistance, making it robust against demanding environmental conditions.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers exceptional durability and flexibility within a compact design, maintaining high tensile strength and excellent optical transmission properties. Its dual indoor and outdoor capability simplifies network planning by allowing seamless transitions between building interiors and exterior pathways without changing cable types. The non-metallic rodent protection and water-resistant construction safeguard the fibers from physical damage and moisture ingress, ensuring long-term operational reliability. Furthermore, the low smoke zero halogen outer jacket limits toxic emissions in the event of fire, meeting strict safety standards while supporting high-bandwidth multi-mode applications.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transmission networks
• Structured cabling systems
• Reliable backbone connections in campus networks
• Indoor and outdoor transitional cable runs

This cable may not be suitable for applications requiring single-mode fiber infrastructure over extremely long distance telecommunication links where multi-mode OM3 specifications are insufficient. It is also not designed for continuous high-flex movement applications, as it is structured as a stationary installation cable rather than a patch cord.

Key specifications

• OM3 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber optic type
• 12 fiber count
• U-DQ(ZN) BH cable type
• LSZH outer sheath material with CPR Dca fire rating
• Glass yarn armoured with non-metal rodent protection
• Longitudinally and laterally water-resistant
• Cable outer diameter of 6.5 mm
• Maximum allowable pulling force of 1400 N
• Crush resistance of 1000/200 N/100mm
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians following standard fiber optic handling procedures. Ensure that the maximum allowable pulling force of 1400 N and the minimum bending radius limits are strictly observed during pulling and routing to prevent damage to the internal glass fibers. The cable can be deployed in conduits, trays, or direct burial preparation suitable for indoor and outdoor pathways. Terminate the 12 fibers using compatible connectors and patch panels designed for 50/125 µm multi-mode OM3 fiber systems, ensuring all connections are cleaned and tested prior to network activation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that multi-mode OM3 50/125 µm specifications match your active network hardware requirements
• Calculate the required cable length and routing path including indoor and outdoor sections
• Confirm local building regulations regarding CPR Dca and LSZH fire safety ratings
• Check available conduit sizes against the 6.5 mm outer diameter of the cable

Always verify pulling tension and bend radius limits during installation, and store the cable reels within the recommended temperature range of -40°C to +70°C prior to deployment to ensure optimal physical and optical longevity.
