Panduit FOPRZ48Y 48-fiber OM4 Indoor Armored Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FOPRZ48Y is a 48-fiber indoor armored optical fiber cable built on OM4 50-micron multimode glass. Armored construction provides mechanical protection against crush, rodent damage, and incidental impact in demanding building environments. The cable is rated for indoor plenum installations, meeting air-handling space requirements without a separate conduit run. Licensed low-voltage or data communications contractors install this cable in backbone and horizontal distribution runs where both fire rating and physical protection are required.

This cable is suited for high-density structured cabling deployments in commercial and enterprise buildings. Typical applications include inter-closet backbone runs, data center horizontal distribution, and riser pathways where the cable may be exposed to physical contact or routed through plenum-rated air-handling spaces. OM4 50-micron multimode glass supports high-bandwidth transmission for 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet and fiber channel links over standard multimode distances.

Key Features

• 48-fiber count supports high-density backbone and distribution cabling
• OM4 50-micron multimode glass for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications
• Armored construction provides crush and rodent resistance in indoor environments
• Plenum-rated jacket meets air-handling space fire and smoke requirements
• Indoor-rated design for structured cabling backbone and horizontal runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor armored plenum fiber cable for use with standard LC, SC, or MPO/MTP multimode connectors and panels compatible with OM4 50-micron multimode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 and local fire codes governing plenum-rated cable. De-energize connected active equipment before terminating fiber ends and follow manufacturer bend-radius specifications to avoid micro-bending losses. Armored cable requires appropriate stripping tools to remove the armor layer cleanly without damaging the fiber bundle. In plenum spaces, verify the cable jacket rating meets the authority having jurisdiction requirements before installation.
