SmartFIBER Multimode 62.5/125 – Enclosures

Windy City Wire supports enterprise and industrial projects with a complete portfolio of low-voltage fiber products and accessories designed for clean installation, reliable performance, and straightforward maintenance. Our SmartFIBER multimode 62.5/125 offering pairs with LGX-compatible enclosures to simplify termination and patching, help protect bend radius, and organize high-density connections for networks in commercial buildings, education, healthcare, manufacturing, security, and AV environments.

As a U.S. manufacturer, we build SmartWire® low-voltage cable to meet demanding schedules and standards, then complement those cables with enclosure options that make field work faster and more consistent. SmartWire Glide Technology® lubrication is applied to SmartWire cable jackets during manufacturing and helps reduce pull friction by up to 70%, supporting smoother, safer pulls through conduit and pathways. For organizations that want visual standardization, SmartWire jacket color and stripe options can be specified to help identify systems by function, floor, or phase across large facilities. Together, these products and accessories form a practical solution for multimode 62.5/125 fiber runs, terminations, and moves/adds/changes over the life of the installation.

• Built for B2B project needs – Practical features for contractors and integrators, from organized patching to thoughtful cable management that supports long-term serviceability.
• LGX compatibility – Enclosures accept standard LGX form-factor hardware to align with common field practices and simplify part selection.
• Protected routing – Front and rear cable management helps maintain proper bend radius and strain relief for multimode 62.5/125 fiber, reducing rework and signal issues.
• Scalable and service-friendly – Clear panel positions and guided routing allow quicker turn-up, labeling, and expansion as networks grow.
