INFRALAN A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM2 multimode fiber cable 8G (1x8) Fca 2000N schwarz 5,8mm

INFRALAN A-DQ(ZN)B2Y OM2 multimode fiber cable 8G (1x8) Fca 2000N schwarz 5,8mm is a tight-buffered multimode link built for short- to medium-distance 8G applications. The cable features an OM2 multimode fiber in a 1x8 configuration, a single jacket construction with Fca flame classification, an outer diameter of 5.8 mm and aramid yarn reinforcement delivering a rated tensile strength of 2000 N. It is gel-free and intended for indoor/outdoor routing where mechanical protection and flame performance are required.

Advantages

This INFRALAN multimode cable combines compact 5.8 mm diameter construction with a tight-buffered design that simplifies connectorisation and indoor routing. The OM2 multimode core supports legacy and current 8G multimode links while the aramid reinforcement and 2000 N tensile rating provide mechanical robustness during installation and operation. Single jacket Fca flame classification offers basic flame retardance for applications where fire performance is required without a separate outer sheath.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance multimode networks carrying 8G Ethernet or Fibre Channel signals
• Indoor installations and outdoor indoor-routing where a gel-free cable is preferred
• Backbone and riser cabling in buildings with moderate mechanical stress
• Data centers and telecom rooms requiring compact, multi-fiber assemblies

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-haul singlemode deployments or applications that require singlemode performance. It is designed for environments where a single-jacket, Fca-class flame performance is sufficient; it may not meet requirements for direct burial, extreme outdoor exposure, or installations demanding higher flame protection classes or additional armouring.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM2 multimode
• Fiber count and configuration: 1x8 (tight-buffered multimode fibers)
• Outer diameter: 5.8 mm
• Construction: single jacket, gel-free loose tube with aramid yarn reinforcement
• Flame classification: Fca
• Tensile strength: 2000 N (installation/operation rating)
• Color: black (schwarz)

How to use

Route the cable following standard installation practices for multimode fiber: maintain recommended minimum bend radius, avoid excessive tensile loads beyond the 2000 N rating, and protect terminations during connectorisation. Use appropriate fiber preparation tools for tight-buffered multimode fibers, terminate with compatible OM2 connectors or patch panels, and perform insertion loss and return loss tests after installation. For indoor/outdoor routing, ensure transitions through building entry points are sealed and protected from mechanical abrasion.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm OM2 multimode performance meets your bandwidth and distance requirements for 8G applications
• Verify that a 1x8 tight-buffered configuration fits your rack, patch panel, and connectorisation plans
• Assess environmental needs — Fca flame class and single jacket are suitable for many indoor/indoor-outdoor routes but not for direct burial or extreme exposure
• Plan for proper installation tools and testing equipment for multimode fiber termination and verification

Usage recommendations

Use this INFRALAN OM2 1x8 multimode cable for compact backbone or horizontal runs where 8G performance over short to medium distances is required. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii, protect cable entries, and verify links with standard optical testing to ensure reliable multimode operation.
