Panduit F8ONM5E5EAAM050 OS2 576F Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT F8ONM5E5EAAM050 is a high-density OS2 single-mode fiber optic trunk cable rated for 576 fibers, designed for indoor/outdoor (I/O) installations requiring both OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) ratings. This trunk assembly serves as a pre-terminated backbone interconnect in structured cabling systems, eliminating field termination labor on high-count fiber runs. Network and low-voltage cabling technicians deploy it in data centers, enterprise campuses, and telecommunications rooms where riser fire ratings and halogen-free jacket requirements must be met simultaneously. The cable is sold as a single assembly unit.

This trunk cable is suited for backbone runs between main distribution areas (MDAs), horizontal distribution areas (HDAs), and equipment distribution areas (EDAs) in data center environments. The OFNR rating qualifies it for vertical riser pathways inside buildings, while the LSZH jacket compound reduces toxic gas and smoke emission in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Indoor/outdoor construction allows the cable to transition from outside plant conduit entries directly into interior pathways without a mid-span splice or separate breakout assembly.

Key Features

• 576-fiber OS2 single-mode construction for ultra-high-density backbone applications
• OFNR rating meets NEC riser fire-resistance requirements for vertical inside-plant runs
• LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic halogen gas emission in confined spaces
• Indoor/outdoor dual-rated design eliminates the need for a separate transition point at building entry
• Factory pre-terminated trunk assembly reduces installation time and field termination error risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated trunk assembly for use with OS2 single-mode fiber distribution and interconnect systems in structured cabling infrastructures that require OFNR and LSZH-rated backbone cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or outside-plant fiber optic technician familiar with TIA-568 and BICSI structured cabling standards. De-energize any active equipment in the cable pathway before routing and dressing the trunk. Observe the cable minimum bend radius throughout the entire run and at termination points to prevent attenuation or fiber damage. Connectorized ends must be inspected and cleaned with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating to adapter panels.
