Panduit FX8RP7NUSQNM021 8-fiber OM3 Round Harness

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX8RP7NUSQNM021 is an 8-fiber OM3 multimode round harness assembly with a plenum-rated jacket, designed for structured fiber optic cabling installations. This harness transitions a single round multi-fiber trunk cable into individual fiber legs, each terminated with a factory-installed connector, allowing direct patching to active equipment or fiber panels. The plenum rating makes it suitable for air-handling spaces where fire and smoke codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket materials. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and data center installers are the primary trade for this type of assembly.

This harness assembly is used in horizontal or backbone fiber runs within commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise network infrastructure. It is well suited for connecting fiber distribution hubs, patch panels, or optical transceivers where a pre-terminated, factory-tested assembly reduces field labor and eliminates on-site termination. Plenum-rated construction meets the requirements for installation in HVAC air-return spaces and drop ceilings governed by applicable fire codes.

Key Features

• 8-fiber OM3 multimode construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications
• Round harness design transitions from a single multi-fiber cable to individual fiber legs for direct patching
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke performance requirements for air-handling space installation
• Factory-terminated and tested connectors eliminate field termination labor and reduce installation error
• Sold as a single assembly unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fiber harness for OM3 multimode structured cabling systems in commercial and enterprise environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling and bend-radius requirements. De-energize or power down connected active equipment before mating or removing fiber connectors to avoid optical damage. Route the harness in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, including NFPA 70 (NEC) Articles 770 and 800 for optical fiber and plenum-rated cabling. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension, as multimode fiber is susceptible to attenuation from physical stress.
