TBR Premise Plenum
Cables
Features and Benefits
Applications
TBR Breakout Riser Cables are designed for intrabuilding applications where fiber optic
backbones or OFNR rated cables are required. They provide rugged sub-components for
high strength connections.
TBP Breakout Plenum Cables are designed for intrabuilding applications where
installation is required in air return areas without conduit. They provide low smoke and
fire retardancy characteristics and are easily terminated.
The design for both consists of individual components with a tight buffered fiber and
aramid yarn strength members within a flexible jacket. Multiple breakout units are combined
within one outer jacket. These fiber breakouts are easily identified, separated and
terminated with standard fiber optic connectors.

ORDERING INFORMATION
All BICC General cables, unless customized, follow the industry standard color code system for easy identification. Cables with 12 or
fewer individual components will follow the color sequence: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Pink,
Aqua.
For cables having more than 12 fibers, grouping is done following the same sequence for the subgroup and for the fibers within it.
Example: 24 fiber loose tube cable with six fibers in each of four tubesTube colors will be blue, orange, green and brown. Each tube will
have one each of fibers in the first six colors (blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white). Fibers are then identified by tube color/fiber
colorblue/white being the white fiber in the blue tube.
When cables have more than 144 fibers, a black stripe is added to each of the first six colors in order to make 18 recognizable
subgroups.
In some cable designs, jacketed subgroups may be numbered for identification in lieu of color coding.
