Panduit F8BNM9RBNSAF100 288F OS2 Tethered Front Access

Product Description

The PANDUIT F8BNM9RBNSAF100 is a 288-fiber OS2 tethered front-access fiber optic cable assembly designed for high-density structured cabling installations. OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, low-loss signal transmission, making this assembly suitable for backbone and interconnect runs in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial facilities. Licensed low-voltage and structured cabling technicians typically specify and install this assembly. The tethered front-access design allows technicians to manage and route fiber connections from the front of the enclosure without disturbing adjacent cable paths.

This assembly is used in high-density fiber distribution and patching applications where 288-fiber capacity is required in a single assembly. Front-access tethered configurations are common in data center main distribution areas and horizontal distribution areas where rack space is limited and cable management density is high. The OS2 single-mode rating suits installations where spans exceed the typical reach of multimode fiber.

Key Features

• 288-fiber capacity supports high-density backbone and distribution runs
• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation transmission
• Tethered front-access design simplifies installation and maintenance without disturbing adjacent ports
• Factory-terminated assembly reduces field termination time and error risk
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated front-access tethered fiber optic assembly for use in high-density fiber enclosures and patch panels rated for 288-fiber OS2 single-mode configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Power down or disable active optical equipment on the affected links before connecting or disconnecting fiber. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the fiber during routing and dressing. Inspect ferrules and clean connectors before mating to prevent insertion loss.
