Panduit FQXO-12-10B1 12-fiber OM3 10gbe Cassette

Product Description

The PANDUIT FQXO-12-10B1 is a 12-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic cassette designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) structured cabling installations. It is built around the SFQ (Small Form-factor Quattro) connector platform, allowing high-density fiber termination within patch panels and fiber distribution units. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cassette to organize, protect, and connect pre-terminated fiber runs in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. The cassette format enables fast, tool-free installation and simplifies moves, adds, and changes in high-density environments.

This cassette is suited for 10GbE backbone and horizontal fiber runs using OM3 50-micron multimode fiber. It fits into compatible PANDUIT fiber management panels and enclosures, making it a practical choice for structured cabling projects that require organized, scalable fiber connectivity in both new construction and retrofit applications. Data center technicians and certified low-voltage contractors are the typical installers for this product.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure contractor familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. De-energize connected equipment and follow ESD precautions before handling fiber cassettes in live rack environments. Avoid bending fiber cables beyond the minimum bend radius specified for OM3 multimode fiber. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper fiber routing and labeling.
