GenSPEED® 3 to 3.8mm Units Micro Fiber Cable

GenSPEED Micro Fiber Cable (MFC) 3mm Plenum-Riser 8-72f
Product description

GenSPEED® MFC is the perfect cable for data centers, co-location facilities, and central offices where a small diameter and high flexibility are essential. GenSPEED® provides options with 8, 12, and 24 color-coded fibers, each with a diameter of 250 microns, organized into subunits that are 3.0 mm in diameter. This design ensures high performance and density. The subunits can be directly terminated with MPO-style connectors. The 8, 12 and 24 fiber subunits work well with either Base-8 or Base-12 data center architectures. 

The GenSPEED® 3 to 3.8mm Units Micro Fiber Cable delivers superior performance in compact form, ideal for installations requiring precision and flexibility. The small diameter constructions are optimal for jetting applications in premise microducts. Designed as a Premise Micro Distribution Fiber Optic Cable, it supports efficient data transmission across high-density environments such as enterprise networks, telecom hubs, and data centers. Its flame-rated construction ensures safety in both riser and plenum environments, while bend-insensitive fibers maintain signal integrity in tight routing conditions. This cable offers a dependable, space-saving solution for modern indoor fiber applications. For even more versatility, the MFC 3.0 cables are available in Interlocking Armor from 24 to 72 fibers.
