INFRALAN fiber optic cable A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM4 24F (1x24) 2000N black 5.8mm

INFRALAN fiber optic cable A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM4 24F (1x24) is a multi-fiber indoor/outdoor cable designed for high-density multimode connections. It contains 24 OM4 multimode fibers arranged in a single 24-fiber unit with a 5.8 mm outer diameter jacket and a black outer sheath. The cable has a rated tensile strength of 2000 N, offering mechanical robustness for installation in risers, cable trays, ducts and short outdoor runs where OM4 performance is required for high-speed LAN, campus backbone and data center links.

Advantages

The cable combines OM4 multimode performance with a compact 5.8 mm diameter and a 24-fiber configuration, enabling space-efficient deployment in cable routes with limited bend radius requirements. The black outer sheath and reinforced construction provide protection against mechanical stress during installation, while the 2000 N tensile rating ensures secure pulling and strain resistance. OM4 fibers support higher bandwidth and longer reach for multimode links compared to lower-grade multimode fibers.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed LAN and enterprise network connections requiring OM4 multimode performance
• Campus and building backbone cabling where a compact 24-fiber unit is needed
• Data center horizontal and inter-rack links over multimode infrastructure
• Indoor/outdoor transition runs in ducts, trays or risers with moderate environmental exposure

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses OM4 multimode fibers, so it is not appropriate for singlemode long-haul runs or applications that require singlemode transceivers. The 5.8 mm jacket and 24-fiber configuration are optimized for compact multimode installations; environments that demand armoured protection, direct burial capability, or extreme outdoor exposure may require a different cable type with additional mechanical or environmental ratings.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Fiber count: 24 fibers (1x24)
• Outer diameter: 5.8 mm
• Sheath color: black
• Tensile strength: 2000 N (installation/pulling rating)
• Construction: multi-fiber indoor/outdoor cable suitable for ducts, trays and risers

How to use

Plan the routing to avoid tight bends and excessive pulling forces. Use appropriate cable lubricant and a controlled pulling method to keep strain below the 2000 N rating. Terminate fibers in a suitable MPO/MTP panel or splice into pigtails according to your chosen connectorization strategy. Maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for OM4 multimode fibers during installation and when securing the cable in trays or racks. Test insertion loss and continuity after termination to verify link performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that OM4 multimode fiber is compatible with your transceivers and planned link distances
• Verify that a 24-fiber (1x24) configuration meets current and future port-density requirements
• Check environmental and mechanical needs—this cable is not a substitute for armoured or direct-burial designs
• Plan connectorization method (MPO/MTP, fanout/pigtails, splicing) and associated hardware

Usage recommendations

To maximize performance, route the cable in cable trays or conduits with adequate support, avoid bends below the recommended radius for OM4 fibers, and limit pulling forces to well under the 2000 N tensile rating. Use proper MPO/MTP cleaning and test each multimode link after termination to ensure compliant attenuation and insertion loss for high-speed applications.
