ProLink PL‑FOC12D‑OM3 — Double Armor Central Loose Tube Fiber Cable, 12‑Core, OM3 Multimode
The ProLink PL‑FOC12D‑OM3 is a 12‑core multimode OM3 fiber optic backbone cable with double armor central loose tube construction, 50/125 µm OM3 fibers, and a rugged design — ideal for enterprise, data center, and structured cabling backbone installations requiring enhanced mechanical protection.
Description
ProLink PL‑FOC12D‑OM3 — 12‑Core Double Armor OM3 Multimode Central Loose Tube Cable
Key Features:
12 OM3 Multimode Fibers — Designed around 50/125 µm OM3 fiber for high‑bandwidth multimode applications (e.g., Gigabit and 10 GbE over typical distances).
Double Armor Central Loose Tube — Reinforced construction enhances mechanical protection, crush resistance, and pull strength during installation and operation.
Central Loose Tube Design — Protects fiber strands from microbends and mechanical stresses, maintaining optical performance.
Robust Outer Jacket — Durable outer sheath (typically PE) protects the internal fibers and armor layers, making it suitable for indoor backbone and conduit installation.
Structured Cabling Integration — Works seamlessly with fiber distribution frames (ODFs), splice closures, and multimode termination panels.
Technical Highlights:
Brand: ProLink
Model: PL‑FOC12D‑OM3
Cable Type: Double Armor Central Loose Tube
Fiber Type: OM3 multimode (50/125 µm)
Fiber Count: 12 cores
Armor: Double armor for enhanced mechanical robustness
Outer Diameter: (~10‑12.5 mm depending on armor layering)
Typical Use: Backbone fiber runs, risers, telecom rooms in enterprise and data center installations
Note: Some listings describe the outer diameter around ~10 mm, while armor presence may increase the jacket diameter slightly.
Performance & Connectivity:
High‑Bandwidth Support — OM3 multimode fiber is designed for high‑speed links such as 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet over conventional multimode spans within buildings and campus networks.
Mechanical Security — Double armor construction significantly improves crush resistance and tensile strength compared with non‑armored or single armored cables — helpful in pathways with heavier traffic or potential mechanical stress.
Stable Optical Link — Central loose tube design minimizes microbending losses, helping preserve signal quality under load and over time.
