Panduit FX8RL7NUSQNM013 OM3 8-fiber Harness Lszh

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX8RL7NUSQNM013 is an OM3 multimode 8-fiber round harness cable with a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket. Harness cables of this type break out a multi-fiber trunk into individual fiber strands, each terminated and ready for direct connection to active equipment or patch panels. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate link distances. The LSZH jacket designation means the cable sheath produces minimal smoke and no halogenated gases when exposed to flame, meeting the safety requirements common in enclosed or occupied spaces. This assembly is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals.

This harness cable is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise LAN environments where high-density fiber connectivity is required. It is typically routed from a multi-fiber trunk or cassette to individual switch ports, transceivers, or fiber patch panels. The round cable construction simplifies routing through conduit and cable management pathways. LSZH jacket requirements are commonly specified in European installations, transit facilities, and any building where occupant safety codes restrict halogenated materials in plenum or riser pathways.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications
• 8-fiber round harness configuration for high-density breakout connectivity
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire
• Round cable design aids routing through conduit and cable managers
• Factory-terminated assembly reduces field termination time and labor

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling assembly compatible with OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure, including patch panels, fiber cassettes, and active equipment ports accepting the connector type specified in the part number.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 or ISO 11801 fiber cabling standards. Inspect all fiber end-faces for contamination before mating connectors, and clean per manufacturer guidelines using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid pinching or crushing the jacket during cable management. Power down connected active equipment before inserting or removing fiber connectors to prevent potential eye hazard from active laser sources.
