Panduit FQ9N-12-LAAS Quicknet Mpo to 6 Duplex Lc Cassette

Product Description

The PANDUIT FQ9N-12-LAAS is a QuickNet fiber optic cassette that converts a single 12-fiber MPO trunk connection to six duplex LC ports. It serves as a structured cabling component in high-density fiber distribution systems, allowing technicians to break out MPO backbone cables into individual LC duplex connections at the patch panel or distribution point. This cassette format simplifies fiber management in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of hardware accessory.

This cassette is designed for use in high-density fiber optic enclosures and patch panels where space efficiency and quick termination are priorities. It suits data center horizontal and vertical cable management applications, as well as enterprise LAN backbone distribution points. The MPO-to-LC configuration supports structured cabling designs that rely on pre-terminated trunk cables for faster deployment and reduced installation labor in both new construction and retrofit environments.

Key Features

• Single MPO input port breaks out to six duplex LC output ports for a 12-fiber capacity per cassette
• Cassette form factor enables tool-free insertion and removal from compatible enclosures
• Supports high-density fiber distribution in structured cabling systems
• Designed as a hardware accessory for organized, scalable fiber patch panel builds
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard cassette for use in compatible PANDUIT QuickNet fiber optic enclosures and high-density patch panel systems that accept the SFQ cassette form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. Power down any active networking equipment connected to the fiber path before inserting or removing cassettes to avoid signal disruption. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local structured cabling standards for fiber distribution assemblies. Handle all fiber connectors and ferrules with care to avoid contamination that can degrade optical performance.
