Panduit FONRX1AY 50um OM3 144-fiber Indoor-outdoor Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FONRX1AY is a 144-fiber indoor-outdoor fiber optic cable built on 50-micron OM3 multimode glass. It is designed for high-density backbone runs that transition between conditioned indoor spaces and outdoor or plenum-rated pathways without requiring a splice or transition enclosure at the building entry point. The OM3 multimode core supports high-bandwidth applications and is suited for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE structured cabling backbones. Licensed low-voltage and datacom contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is appropriate for enterprise campus backbones, data center interconnects, and inter-building runs where a single cable must meet both indoor flame-spread ratings and outdoor environmental requirements. The 144-fiber count makes it well suited for high-density risers, main distribution areas, and horizontal cross-connect runs where large fiber counts are needed in a single pull. It ships as a single unit per the supplied quantity.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM3 multimode fiber core supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications
• 144-fiber count enables high-density backbone installations in a single cable pull
• Indoor-outdoor rated construction eliminates the need for a transition splice at building entry
• Designed for structured cabling backbone and campus distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style backbone cable for high-density indoor-outdoor multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems requiring OM3 50-micron performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or datacom contractor familiar with TIA-568 and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770 requirements for optical fiber cables. Power down active equipment on any connected links before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable manufacturer's minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension during the pull to avoid fiber stress. Seal all building entry penetrations per applicable fire and building codes after the cable is routed.
