Panduit FXTYL5EL2SAM050 OM3 12F Trunk Cable Mpo to Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FXTYL5EL2SAM050 is a 12-fiber OM3 multimode trunk cable terminated with an MPO female connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other. The cable jacket is rated Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), making it suitable for installations in plenum and enclosed spaces where halogen-free materials are required by local fire and building codes. This trunk assembly is used in structured cabling infrastructure and is typically installed by licensed data communications or low-voltage cabling technicians working in data centers, server rooms, or enterprise network environments.

This trunk cable is designed for high-density fiber optic backbone and breakout runs in data center and enterprise LAN applications. The MPO female interface connects to MPO-compatible patch panels, switches, or cassettes, while the LC duplex fanout legs terminate at individual ports on transceivers or patch panels. OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G applications over appropriate distances and is well-suited for short-reach structured cabling runs in modern data center environments.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications
• MPO female to LC duplex configuration enables direct breakout from high-density trunk infrastructure
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, meeting requirements for enclosed and plenum-adjacent spaces
• 12-fiber count provides standard density for MPO-based structured cabling systems
• Factory-terminated trunk assembly reduces field termination time and ensures consistent optical performance

Compatibility

Designed for use in MPO-based fiber optic cabling systems requiring OM3 multimode performance with LC duplex breakout connections, compatible with MPO patch panels, fiber cassettes, and LC-equipped transceivers or switches in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician following TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. Inspect all connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius, and do not exceed the rated tensile load during routing and installation. Power down active equipment before connecting or disconnecting fiber optic assemblies to protect transceivers from damage.
