Panduit FONRZ48Y 50um OM4 48 Fiber Indoor Outdoor

Product Description

The PANDUIT FONRZ48Y is a 48-fiber indoor-outdoor optical cable rated for OM4 multimode performance at 50 micrometers. Designed for high-density fiber infrastructure deployments, this cable supports demanding bandwidth requirements in both interior and exterior runs without requiring a transition splice or separate outside-plant cable segment. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this product as part of structured cabling systems in commercial, industrial, and campus environments. Its OM4 rating supports 40G and 100G transmission at extended distances, making it suitable for backbone and inter-building data runs.

This cable is applicable to indoor-outdoor installations where a single continuous cable must pass through conduit from an exterior pathway into a building without a transition point. Typical applications include campus backbone runs between buildings, data center external feeds, and industrial facilities requiring durable fiber routing through mixed environments. The 48-fiber count suits high-density distribution frames and patch panels in medium to large installations.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode rated at 50 micrometers core diameter for high-bandwidth applications
• 48-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution cabling
• Indoor-outdoor design eliminates the need for a transition splice at building entry
• Suitable for 40G and 100G network infrastructure over extended distances
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for structured multimode fiber cabling systems utilizing OM4 50 micrometer components including connectors, couplers, and patch panels rated for OM4 performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or registered communications cabling technician following TIA-568 and BICSI standards. Verify that conduit fill ratios and minimum bend radius requirements are observed during pull-through. De-energize any adjacent powered infrastructure before working in shared conduit or cable trays. Do not exceed the cable's rated pull tension or bend radius during installation.
