Panduit FOMPZ24Y 50um OM4 24-fiber Indoor Outdoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOMPZ24Y is a 24-fiber indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable built on 50-micron OM4 multimode glass. OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth applications, making this cable well suited for backbone runs, data center interconnects, and campus distribution systems where a single cable must transition between conditioned indoor spaces and exposed outdoor environments. Licensed low-voltage and structured cabling technicians typically handle installation in commercial and enterprise settings. The plenum or riser rating of the jacket allows the cable to meet code requirements for air-handling spaces where applicable, eliminating the need for separate indoor breakout segments on many runs.

This cable is designed for installations that require a single continuous run from an outdoor plant entry point into an indoor termination field. Typical applications include inter-building backbone links, data center campus connections, and long horizontal or vertical runs where pulling separate indoor and outdoor cables with a transition point is not practical. The 24-fiber count makes it a common choice for high-density patch panels and pre-terminated cassette systems in enterprise and industrial network infrastructure.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber core supports high-bandwidth, short- to medium-distance transmission
• 24-fiber count suits high-density backbone and distribution applications
• Indoor/outdoor-rated construction eliminates the need for a separate transition point on combined runs
• Single-unit packaging (sold per each) for straightforward procurement against a specific run length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solution for 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber optic infrastructure requiring an indoor/outdoor-rated 24-fiber cable. Specific compatible termination hardware, connectors, and cassette systems were not identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize any active equipment in the pathway before pulling cable to avoid damage to live hardware. Follow the manufacturer's minimum bend radius and maximum pull-tension guidelines during installation to prevent fiber stress or breakage. Outdoor portions exposed to sunlight or direct burial must be routed and protected per the jacket rating and local building codes.
