GenSPEED® 2mm Units Micro Fiber Cable

GenSPEED Micro Fiber Cable (MFC) 2mm Plenum 8-216f
Product description

GenSPEED® MFC is the perfect cable for data centers, co-location facilities, and central office applications that require a compact and highly flexible design. It consists of 12 fiber strands with 250-micron, color-coded fibers arranged in subunits with a diameter of 2 mm. This configuration ensures high performance and density. The subunits can be directly terminated to MPO-style connectors. MFC cables are well suited for air-blown, jetting applications for premise microducts. 

The GenSPEED® 2mm Units Micro Fiber Cable combines compact design and superior flexibility, ideal for tight routing within trays, racks, and under raised floors. MFC is also great for jetting into premise microducts. As a Premise Micro Distribution Fiber Optic Cable, it provides reliable performance and consistent signal quality for dense indoor installations. Its flame-rated construction meets plenum and riser requirements, and bend-insensitive fiber ensures signal integrity across complex pathways. This versatile indoor fiber cable supports scalable network growth and long-term reliability.
