Panduit FOPRZ12Y 50um OM4 12 Fiber Indoor Armored Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOPRZ12Y is a 12-fiber indoor armored fiber optic cable built on 50-micron OM4 multimode glass. The armored construction provides mechanical protection against crush, rodent damage, and accidental impact in demanding indoor environments. OM4 50-micron fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet over standard multimode link distances. This cable is suited for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise buildings, and industrial facilities where both optical performance and physical durability are required. Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians.

This cable is designed for indoor runs where an armored jacket is specified by the installation environment or local code. Typical applications include riser and horizontal pathways in commercial buildings, server room backbone runs, and any indoor route where the cable may be exposed to foot traffic, conduit edges, or mechanical stress. The 12-fiber count supports backbone and high-density patch applications without requiring multiple individual cables.

Key Features

• 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber for high-bandwidth 40G and 100G applications
• 12-fiber count in a single armored jacket reduces pathway congestion
• Armored construction resists crush, impact, and rodent damage
• Indoor-rated design suitable for riser and horizontal cabling routes
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor armored fiber optic cable for use with standard OM4 50-micron multimode fiber optic connectors, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware in commercial and industrial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. Power down active fiber transceivers and optical equipment before terminating or splicing. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulling or routing, as exceeding it can cause microbend losses or damage to the armor layer. Inspect fiber ends and clean connectors before mating to ensure rated optical performance.
