Panduit FOKRZ48 OM4 48 Fiber Indoor Outdoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOKRZ48 is a 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber optic trunk cable rated for both indoor and outdoor installation environments. This 48-fiber assembly is designed to support high-density structured cabling infrastructure in data centers, campus backbones, and commercial buildings. The OM4 multimode fiber core supports high-bandwidth applications at extended distances, making it a reliable choice for 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet runs. Licensed low-voltage contractors and network cabling technicians are the primary trades that specify and terminate this type of assembly.

The FOKRZ48 is suited for trunk routing between buildings or between indoor distribution points and outdoor plant runs. Its indoor-outdoor rated construction eliminates the need for a separate transition splice or enclosure at the building entry point, reducing materials and labor. Applications include inter-building campus links, data center spine-leaf cabling, and enterprise horizontal or backbone distribution where a single cable run must pass through both conditioned interior spaces and exposed outdoor pathways.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber core supports 10G, 40G, and 100G transmission
• 48-fiber count provides high-density capacity in a single trunk run
• Indoor-outdoor dual rating eliminates need for transition splice at building entry
• Suitable for campus backbone, data center, and commercial structured cabling deployments
• Sold as a single cable assembly unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style trunk cable for use in high-density multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems requiring 48-fiber OM4 capacity in indoor-outdoor routing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 and BICSI structured cabling standards. Power to active equipment connected to the fiber path should be confirmed off or ports disabled before terminating or rerouting fiber assemblies. Observe minimum bend radius requirements during pulling and routing to avoid attenuation or fiber damage. Do not exceed the cable rated pulling tension when routing through conduit.
