Panduit FOKPX06 50um OM3 6-fiber Indoor-outdoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOKPX06 is a 50-micron OM3 multimode fiber optic cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. It houses 6 individual fiber strands in a single jacket, making it suited for runs that transition between conditioned interior spaces and exterior or plenum environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors install this type of cable in backbone and horizontal distribution applications where high-bandwidth, short-to-medium-distance runs are required. OM3 multimode fiber supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed protocols over standard distances using laser-optimized 850nm transceivers.

This cable is appropriate for commercial and light industrial structured cabling projects where a single continuous run must pass from an interior telecommunications room through an exterior pathway and back indoors. Typical deployments include campus backbone links, inter-building runs, and riser or distribution segments where a dual-rated indoor-outdoor jacket eliminates the need for a transition splice or intermediate enclosure. The 6-fiber count suits low-to-mid-density distribution points and feeder runs.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM3 multimode fiber core supports 10GbE and higher-speed laser-optimized applications
• 6-fiber strand count in a single jacket reduces installation complexity on moderate-density runs
• Dual-rated indoor-outdoor construction eliminates mid-run transition splices or enclosures
• Suitable for backbone, riser, and inter-building distribution segments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style OM3 multimode fiber optic cable for use with standard LC, SC, or ST-style connectors and enclosures compatible with 50-micron multimode fiber. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize all connected active equipment before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable minimum bend radius throughout the pull and avoid kinking or crushing the jacket during installation. Indoor-outdoor rated cable must be transitioned to a listed indoor cable or terminated into an enclosure at the point where it enters a plenum or riser space if local code requires a separate plenum rating.
