Panduit FXTYP5EL2SAF180 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FXTYP5EL2SAF180 is a pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber optic trunk cable designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It features an MPO female connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other, supporting 12-fiber connectivity in a single assembly. Rated OFNP (optical fiber nonconductive plenum), this cable meets the fire-resistance requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces. It is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage or datacom cabling technicians in commercial and enterprise environments.

This trunk cable is suited for backbone and horizontal runs in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. The MPO-to-LC breakout configuration allows high-density MPO patching on one end with individual LC port connections on the active equipment side. It is a common solution for structured cabling infrastructure where pre-terminated assemblies reduce installation time and minimize field termination errors.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and 40GbE applications over appropriate distances
• OFNP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770
• MPO female to LC duplex configuration enables high-density breakout routing
• 12-fiber count in a single pre-terminated trunk assembly
• Factory-terminated ends reduce field termination time and insertion-loss variability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling assembly compatible with standard MPO and LC duplex fiber infrastructure in OM3 multimode networks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or datacom cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. De-energize connected active equipment before mating or unmating connectors. Observe minimum bend radius requirements throughout the cable route to avoid signal degradation. Refer to TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installation standards.
