Description
The SUPERIOR ESSEX F3C3-002U15-6991-CE9 is a hybrid fiber optic cable combining a 2-strand single-mode fiber (SMF3) simplex 2mm optical assembly with two 16 AWG copper conductors in a CMR-rated jacket. This construction supports both data transmission and power or control signaling in a single cable run. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies it for installation in riser pathways between floors in commercial and residential structures. It is sold as a single unit and is handled by licensed low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians.
This cable is suited for applications requiring simultaneous fiber optic data transmission and copper conductor runs in riser-rated environments. Typical install scenarios include building backbone cabling, security system infrastructure, access control wiring, and hybrid fiber-copper distribution runs where a combined assembly reduces conduit fill and simplifies cable management. The riser rating makes it appropriate for vertical runs in multi-story buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required by code.
Key Features
- 2-strand SMF3 simplex fiber optic assembly with 2mm diameter optical element
- 2×16 AWG copper conductors integrated in the same jacket for combined signal and power routing
- CMR (Riser) rated jacket suitable for vertical floor-to-floor cable runs
- Single-unit (EA) packaging for quantity-specific ordering
- Hybrid design reduces conduit fill compared to separate fiber and copper cable pulls
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style hybrid fiber and copper cable for use in riser-rated structured cabling systems where CMR-compliant installations are required.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for CMR-rated communications cable. De-energize any associated power sources before terminating the copper conductors. Observe minimum bend radius specifications for the fiber element to avoid signal degradation or physical damage to the optical strands. Do not use this cable in plenum air-handling spaces where a CMP-rated cable is required by code.
