Panduit F9TYP5EL2SAF020 OS2 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT F9TYP5EL2SAF020 is a pre-terminated OS2 single-mode 12-fiber trunk cable rated OFNP (plenum) and configured with an MPO connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other. This type of assembly is used in structured cabling infrastructure to distribute fiber from a high-density backbone port to individual LC-based equipment ports. The OFNP plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces without the need for conduit. Fiber network installers and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary trades that deploy this assembly in data centers, enterprise LAN backbones, and telecommunications rooms.

This trunk assembly is designed for OS2 single-mode fiber applications where low insertion loss and long-distance signal transmission are required. The MPO-to-LC duplex breakout configuration supports 12 fibers, allowing a single MPO port to feed up to six LC duplex connections. Typical installation scenarios include connecting MPO-based patch panels or cassettes to active equipment with LC interfaces such as switches, routers, or transceivers in structured cabling environments.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, low-attenuation transmission
• OFNP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770
• MPO to LC duplex breakout configuration — 12 fibers, up to 6 LC duplex ports
• Pre-terminated factory assembly reduces field termination time and ensures consistent insertion loss
• Sold as a single unit (EA), ready for immediate deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated trunk assembly compatible with standard MPO adapter panels, MPO cassettes, and LC duplex patch panels used in OS2 single-mode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 770 requirements for optical fiber cabling. De-energize all connected active equipment before mating or un-mating fiber connectors to protect transceiver interfaces. Maintain manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius throughout the cable route to avoid microbend-induced signal loss. Clean all fiber end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before making connections.
