Panduit FOPRX24Y 50um OM3 24-fiber Indoor Armored Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOPRX24Y is a 24-fiber indoor armored fiber optic cable built on 50-micron OM3 multimode glass. Armored construction adds mechanical protection against crushing and rodent damage in demanding indoor runs. The OM3-rated fiber core supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling backbones. This cable is handled and terminated by licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers working in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments.

This cable is suited for indoor backbone runs between telecommunications rooms, data centers, and equipment closets. The 24-fiber count accommodates high-density distribution points where multiple circuits must be routed through a single conduit or cable pathway. OM3 multimode glass supports laser-optimized transmission at 850nm, making it compatible with standard SFP and VCSEL-based transceivers commonly deployed in enterprise networking infrastructure.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM3 multimode fiber for laser-optimized, high-bandwidth transmission
• 24-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution runs
• Armored construction provides resistance to crushing and mechanical damage
• Rated for indoor installation environments
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor armored fiber optic cable for use with standard OM3 multimode fiber termination hardware, patch panels, and fiber enclosures in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician following ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize active equipment at both ends before terminating or splicing. Observe the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to avoid fiber stress or microbending losses. Armored cable ends require appropriate armor-stripping tools before connector termination or splicing.
