Panduit FODPW24Y 50um OM5 24-fiber Indoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FODPW24Y is a 24-fiber indoor distribution cable built around 50-micron OM5 multimode fiber. OM5 glass is optimized for wideband multimode transmission, supporting short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and high-speed data applications up to 100G and beyond over laser-optimized multimode links. This distribution-style cable construction houses individual tight-buffered fibers in a common outer jacket, keeping the overall diameter manageable while providing direct access to each fiber for field termination. It is sold as a single unit and is sized for runs within a building where a plenum or riser fire rating is appropriate for the pathway.

This cable is suited for intra-building backbone and horizontal runs in commercial and enterprise environments. Typical installations include data center interconnects, server room patch infrastructure, campus riser runs, and structured cabling backbone segments where high-bandwidth multimode performance is required. A licensed low-voltage or communications cabling technician typically handles installation in these applications.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM5 multimode fiber supports SWDM and high-speed laser-optimized links
• 24-fiber count provides high-density capacity in a single cable run
• Indoor distribution construction allows direct fiber access for field termination
• Designed for intra-building backbone and horizontal structured cabling runs
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor distribution cable for use with standard LC, SC, or ST multimode fiber connectors and enclosures compatible with 50-micron OM5 fiber terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or communications cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any active equipment in the pathway before pulling cable, and observe the cable's minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension throughout the run. Do not exceed the manufacturer's pull force rating during installation, as exceeding it can stress the fiber and degrade optical performance. Local building and fire codes should be consulted to confirm the appropriate fire-rating classification for the intended pathway.
