Panduit FOPPZ48Y 50um OM4 48-fiber Indoor Armored Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOPPZ48Y is a 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber optic cable configured with 48 fibers for indoor armored installations. Designed for high-density structured cabling environments, this cable delivers the bandwidth performance required by modern data center, enterprise LAN, and backbone distribution applications. The armored construction provides mechanical protection against crushing, rodents, and accidental damage in areas where standard tight-buffered cable would be at risk. Installation is handled by licensed low-voltage technicians or certified fiber optic installers working within commercial or industrial facilities.

This cable is suited for indoor horizontal and backbone runs where physical protection is required without the bulk of outdoor-rated designs. Typical applications include equipment rooms, telecommunications rooms, and inter-building pathways within a single structure. The 48-fiber count supports high-density patching in structured cabling systems built around OM4 multimode infrastructure operating at 10G, 40G, or 100G Ethernet standards.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber core for high-bandwidth, short-reach transmission
• 48-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution cabling
• Armored construction provides mechanical protection in vulnerable indoor pathways
• Indoor-rated design meets requirements for use within a single building
• Sold individually as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solution for indoor armored multimode fiber optic backbone and horizontal cabling systems utilizing 50-micron OM4 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or certified fiber optic installer following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize all active equipment connected to the fiber pathway before termination work begins. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements throughout the pull to avoid signal degradation or fiber damage. Armored cable requires appropriate stripping tools and cable management hardware rated for armored constructions.
