INFRALAN A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM2 24G single 1x24 fiber cable, black, 5.8 mm, 2000 N tension

INFRALAN A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM2 24G single 1x24 fiber cable is an outdoor/indoor armored multimode optical cable designed for backbone and campus links. It contains one bundle with 24 OM2 multimode fibers, a steel-reinforced element for mechanical strength, a black outer jacket and a compact 5.8 mm diameter. The construction provides a 2000 N rated tensile strength for installations where high fiber count and mechanical protection are required, and it is suitable for ducts, conduits and direct-burial paths when additional environmental protection is needed.

Advantages

The cable combines OM2 multimode performance for short-to-medium range data transmission with an armored design that increases resistance to crushing and rodent damage. The steel reinforcement delivers a high tensile rating of 2000 N while keeping the overall diameter relatively small at 5.8 mm, which simplifies routing in congested ducts and trays. The black UV-resistant jacket improves outdoor durability and allows consistent identification in mixed cable environments.

Suitable for

• Campus backbone and building-to-building fiber links
• Duct and conduit installations where mechanical protection is required
• Direct-burial runs with appropriate additional protective measures
• Data center intra-campus connections over short-to-medium distances using OM2 multimode

When it may not be suitable

This OM2 multimode cable is not intended for long-haul singlemode applications or where singlemode fiber is required for high-bandwidth, long-distance transmission. It may also be unnecessary in simple indoor installations that do not require armored protection or high tensile strength — in those cases a lighter, non-armored cable could be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2
• Fiber count: 24 fibers (1x24 bundle)
• Outer diameter: 5.8 mm
• Armoring: Steel-reinforced strength element
• Tensile strength: 2000 N (rated)
• Jacket color: Black (UV-resistant outer sheath)
• Application: Outdoor/indoor, ducts, conduits, potential direct burial with precautions

How to use

Plan the route and ensure compliance with recommended bend radius for multimode fibers before installation. Use appropriate cable handling tools and techniques to avoid applying point loads to the fibers; secure the cable to support structures and terminate the 24-fiber bundle in a suitable patch panel or splice enclosure. When installing in ducts or conduits, confirm space availability for the 5.8 mm diameter and consider pulling grips to distribute load and protect the steel element. For direct-burial installations, follow local codes and add recommended protective layers or conduit as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fiber type: OM2 multimode is optimized for short-to-medium distances; verify compatibility with existing transceivers and equipment
• Mechanical requirements: 2000 N tensile rating and steel reinforcement for demanding environments
• Installation environment: confirm whether direct burial, duct, or indoor routing is planned and if additional protection is needed
• Connectorization and termination: ensure availability of 24-fiber termination panels or splice enclosures

Usage recommendations

Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for OM2 fibers, avoid exceeding the 2000 N tensile rating during pulls, and use proper pulling grips and lubricants when routing through ducts. Select compatible multimode transceivers and plan terminations in 1x24 compatible patch panels or splice cassettes to ensure reliable network performance.
