Panduit FC2WA-24-10AS Opticom Cassette OM5 2 MPO/12

Product Description

The PANDUIT FC2WA-24-10AS is an OM5 fiber optic cassette designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It features two MPO/12 fiber connections, supporting 24 fiber strands in a compact, pre-terminated module. This cassette plugs into compatible fiber enclosures and patch panels to create organized, low-loss interconnection points within data center and enterprise network infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage and data communications contractors install this component during initial rack buildout or cabling upgrades where high-density MPO trunk cabling is deployed.

This cassette is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and high-performance computing environments that require OM5 wideband multimode fiber. OM5 supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and is compatible with 40G, 100G, and emerging higher-bandwidth applications. The two MPO/12 ports allow straightforward connection to pre-terminated MPO trunk cables, making it a practical choice for modular, scalable fiber distribution systems in main distribution areas and intermediate distribution frames.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode fiber type supports SWDM and high-bandwidth applications up to 100G and beyond
• Dual MPO/12 interface provides 24 fiber strands per cassette for high-density deployment
• Pre-terminated, plug-in cassette design reduces installation time and minimizes field termination errors
• Designed for use in structured cabling enclosures and modular patch panel systems
• Unit of measure is each, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and modular add-in cassette for OM5 high-density fiber enclosure and patch panel systems compatible with MPO/12 trunk cabling architectures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or data communications technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disable active equipment connected to the fiber path before inserting or removing the cassette. Cassettes slide into compatible fiber enclosures without tools; verify proper seating and latch engagement before routing patch cords. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the connected fiber cables during cable management.
