GenSPEED® Micro Fiber 2.44mm Plenum Cable
GenSPEED® MFC is the ideal cable for data centers, co-location, and central office facilities that require a small-diameter, highly flexible cable. GenSPEED® MFC cables feature compact 2.4mm subunits that can be directly terminated to MPO-style connectors. These compact cables take up less space and put less weight in fiber raceways. They also are optimized for cable jetting into premise microducts.
The GenSPEED® Micro Fiber 2.44mm Plenum Cable offers exceptional performance and reliability in a compact, space-efficient design. Built as a Premise Micro Distribution Fiber Optic Cable, it provides flexibility and ease of handling for installation through trays, racks, and confined spaces. Its flame-rated construction meets plenum requirements, offering safe operation in air-handling spaces. Engineered with a rugged thermoplastic jacket for crush resistance and tested to meet standards-based performance criteria, this cable ensures consistent connectivity in high-density environments.
