Panduit FOPPW24Y 50um OM5 24 Fiber Indoor Armored Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOPPW24Y is a 24-fiber indoor armored fiber optic cable rated for OM5 multimode performance at 50 micron core diameter. Designed for high-density structured cabling installations, this cable supports wideband multimode applications and short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) where higher bandwidth over multimode fiber is required. The armored construction adds mechanical protection against crush and rodent damage, making it suitable for runs where standard tight-buffered cables would be insufficient. Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage contractors or network infrastructure technicians working in commercial or industrial environments.

This cable is intended for indoor use in data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial building backbone cabling runs. OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports emerging parallel and SWDM transmission standards alongside legacy OM4 and OM3 applications, giving installers flexibility for current and future network deployments. The 24-fiber count is appropriate for high-density backbone segments connecting patch panels, switches, and distribution frames within a single building or campus riser pathway.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode fiber rated for SWDM4 and parallel optic transmission standards
• 50 micron core diameter compatible with standard LC, SC, and MPO multimode connectors
• 24-fiber count suitable for high-density backbone and riser applications
• Armored construction provides mechanical protection against crush forces and physical damage
• Indoor-rated design for use in conduit, cable trays, and indoor riser pathways

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor armored fiber optic cable for use with OM5 50 micron multimode fiber optic systems and compatible termination hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. De-energize or power down connected active equipment before terminating fiber ends. Observe the cable minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid microbending losses. Armored cable requires appropriate armor-cutting tools and strain relief fittings rated for the cable outside diameter at each entry point.
