A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated
casing. They're designed for long distance, very high-performance data networking, and
telecommunications. Compared to wired cables, fiber optic cables provide higher bandwidth and
can transmit data over longer distances. Fiber optic cables support much of the world's internet,
cable television and telephone systems.

NEC Articles:

Plenum:

UL-listed type OFNP in accordance with NEC sections 770-51 (a) and 770-53 (a) for
use in ducts, plenums, and air-handling spaces. Meets or
exceeds requirements or intra-building fiber optic cables as
outlined in GR-409-CORE

Riser:

UL-listed type OFNR in accordance with NEC sections 770-51 (b) and 770-53 (b) for
