Belden Inc. FC3U06LDMF Fxu OM3 6-port MPO12 Cassette

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FC3U06LDMF is an FXU-series fiber optic cassette designed for OM3 multimode structured cabling installations. It features a 6-port MPO12 female interface, providing a compact, pre-terminated breakout solution that allows field technicians to transition between high-density MPO trunk cables and individual LC or other duplex connections within a patch panel or enclosure. This cassette format simplifies moves, adds, and changes in data center and enterprise network environments by enabling tool-free module swaps without disturbing the trunk cable layer.

This cassette is suited for high-density fiber optic distribution frames, enclosures, and patch panels in commercial data center, enterprise LAN, and campus backbone applications. The OM3 designation confirms compatibility with 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet applications over multimode fiber. The MPO12 female port accepts standard MPO12 male trunk connectors, making it a practical fit for pre-terminated trunk-based cabling architectures where fast deployment and low installation labor are priorities.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber support for 10GbE and 40GbE applications
• 6-port MPO12 female interface for high-density trunk connectivity
• FXU cassette form factor enables modular, tool-free installation and replacement
• Pre-terminated design reduces installation time and splice labor
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and field-deployment cassette for use in FXU-series fiber optic enclosures and patch panels accepting MPO12 female cassette modules with OM3 multimode fiber interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician following TIA-568 and TIA-942 standards. Before servicing or replacing a cassette, disable active transmitters and follow proper laser safety procedures, as fiber optic systems may carry invisible infrared light. Cassette modules should be seated firmly into the enclosure chassis until the locking tab engages. Inspect all MPO connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating.
