Panduit FXTYP5EL2SAF080 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FXTYP5EL2SAF080 is an OM3 multimode fiber trunk cable assembly designed for high-density structured cabling installations. Rated OFNP (optical fiber nonconductive plenum), this cable is suitable for use in air-handling spaces where plenum-rated pathways are required by code. The assembly features an MPO female connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other, making it a standard breakout or harness-style trunk used to interconnect high-density patch panels, fiber enclosures, and active equipment in data center and enterprise network environments. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and structured cabling specialists are the primary installers of this product.

This trunk cable assembly is used in structured cabling systems requiring OM3 multimode fiber performance, typically in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise campus backbones. The MPO-to-LC duplex configuration supports 12-fiber connectivity in a single pull, reducing installation time in high-density fiber environments. It is well suited for connecting MPO-based fiber enclosures or cassettes to LC-equipped switches, servers, or patch panels.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G applications at rated distances
• OFNP plenum rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling spaces
• MPO female to LC duplex configuration enables high-density breakout connectivity
• 12-fiber count in a single trunk assembly reduces conduit fill and simplifies routing
• Factory-terminated and tested assembly ensures reliable plug-and-play installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit trunk assembly for OM3 multimode MPO-based fiber enclosures, cassette modules, and LC-equipped active equipment in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices and NEC Article 770 plenum cable requirements. Inspect connector end-faces with an approved fiber inspection scope before mating, and clean as needed with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing and termination. Do not over-tension pull lines during cable installation, as excess strain can affect fiber performance.
