Panduit FXTYL7EL2SAM100 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable Lszh

Product Description

The PANDUIT FXTYL7EL2SAM100 is a 12-fiber multimode OM3 trunk cable terminated with PanMPO connectors and jacketed in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compound. Trunk cables of this type serve as the high-density backbone links in structured cabling systems, connecting modular patch panels, cassettes, and distribution frames without requiring field termination. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emissions in the event of fire, making it appropriate for installations in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where local codes require reduced-toxicity materials. This assembly is sold as a single unit.

This trunk cable is designed for use in data centers, enterprise network cores, and high-density fiber distribution environments. It connects modular cassette-based patching systems that use MPO-style multi-fiber connectors, supporting structured cabling architectures that consolidate large fiber counts into compact, manageable runs. The PanMPO connector interface is specific to PANDUIT modular fiber infrastructure components. Licensed low-voltage cabling contractors and data center structured cabling technicians are the typical installers.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and 40GbE applications over appropriate distances
• 12-fiber PanMPO connectors on each end enable high-density, tool-free connection to compatible cassettes and panels
• LSZH jacket compound limits toxic smoke and halogen gas release in enclosed or restricted spaces
• Factory-terminated trunk assembly eliminates field termination labor and maintains connector performance consistency
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for straightforward quantity management

Compatibility

Designed for use with PANDUIT PanMPO-based modular fiber infrastructure systems, including compatible cassettes, panels, and distribution frames that accept MPO-style multi-fiber connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before routing or connecting trunk cables, verify that active equipment in the path is powered down or that the fiber links are dark. Handle MPO connectors with care — avoid touching ferrule end-faces and use appropriate MPO dust caps when ports are not in use. Follow local building and fire codes when selecting installation pathways, particularly where LSZH jacket requirements apply.
