Panduit FOBKF576YM1 Fiber Optic Breakout Kit

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOBKF576YM1 is a fiber optic breakout kit designed to terminate and protect individual fiber strands at the end of a multi-fiber cable. Breakout kits allow technicians to fan out tight-buffered fibers from a larger cable assembly into individually jacketed sub-cables, making each strand ready for connector termination. This type of hardware accessory is a standard component in structured cabling installations across commercial and industrial environments. Licensed low-voltage installers and network technicians are the primary end users for this product.

Fiber optic breakout kits are used wherever a multi-fiber trunk cable must be transitioned into individual fiber runs for patching, cross-connection, or direct equipment connection. Typical applications include telecommunications rooms, data centers, and campus backbone installations. The kit provides the mechanical protection and strain relief needed at the breakout transition point to maintain fiber integrity during and after installation.

Key Features

• Enables fan-out termination of multi-fiber cables into individually routed strands
• Provides strain relief and mechanical protection at the cable breakout point
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for flexible quantity ordering
• Designed for use in structured cabling and fiber distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use in fiber optic structured cabling installations where multi-fiber cables require fan-out and individual strand termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 standards for structured cabling. De-energize and disconnect any active equipment connected to the fiber path before beginning work. Avoid sharp bends at the breakout transition point to prevent exceeding the minimum bend radius of the individual fibers. Clean fiber end-faces per manufacturer guidance before final connector termination.
