12F Indoor/Outdoor Riser Cable OM3 Black

Description

12F OM3 Fibre Optic Cable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

The 12F Indoor/Outdoor Riser Cable OM3 Black is designed for fibre optic cabling installations requiring a 12-fibre configuration and a practical cable construction for indoor and outdoor applications. Its OM3 fibre type makes it suitable for compatible multimode fibre optic network infrastructure, supporting data connectivity requirements across commercial buildings and telecommunications environments.

With 900µm PVC tight-buffered fibres, the cable provides a structured fibre construction for installation and handling. The tight-buffered design offers a practical format for cable routing and termination when used with compatible fibre optic components. Its flexible and lightweight construction can also help simplify handling during installation, particularly in projects involving multiple cable runs.

LSZH Outer Sheath and Flexible Construction

The cable features a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer sheath, specified to help limit smoke and halogen acid gas emissions compared with conventional halogen-containing sheath materials when exposed to fire. This sheath construction can be an important consideration when selecting cabling for building interiors and other environments where smoke and material characteristics matter.

Finished in black, the cable provides a conventional appearance for professional network installations. Its indoor/outdoor designation identifies it for applications requiring this cable type, subject to the installation conditions and environmental limits specified by the manufacturer.

Water-Blocking Reinforcement for Cable Protection

Dry-block construction incorporates water-swellable aramid reinforcing blocking yarns. These materials are designed to swell when exposed to moisture, helping restrict water migration along the cable. This construction can provide an additional protective feature in installations where moisture ingress is a consideration.

For electricians, telecommunications installers and network infrastructure contractors, the combination of OM3 fibres, tight-buffered construction and water-blocking reinforcement offers a practical option for suitable fibre optic cabling projects. Confirm the cable’s environmental rating, fire performance, bend radius and installation requirements against the manufacturer’s technical documentation before specifying it for a particular project.
