Panduit FXTYP7EL2SAF280 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FXTYP7EL2SAF280 is an OM3 multimode 12-fiber trunk cable rated OFNP (optical fiber nonconductive plenum) and terminated with PanMPO connectors on both ends in a female-to-female configuration. Trunk cables of this type serve as high-density backbone links between fiber patch panels, zone distribution boxes, and modular cassette systems. The OFNP plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant cabling. Licensed electricians and structured cabling technicians are the primary installers.

This trunk cable is used in high-density data center, enterprise LAN, and commercial building backbone applications. The OM3 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth protocols over standard backbone distances. PanMPO connectivity integrates directly with PANDUIT modular cassette and patch panel systems, allowing rapid deployment and simplified moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling environments.

Key Features

• OM3 50/125 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and comparable high-bandwidth protocols
• 12-fiber count in a single trunk assembly for high-density backbone routing
• OFNP plenum rating meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling space installation
• PanMPO connectors on both ends enable direct integration with MPO-based cassette systems
• Female-to-female pinning configuration for polarity management in structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with PANDUIT PanMPO-compatible patch panels, cassettes, and modular fiber infrastructure systems that accept standard MPO female connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified structured cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Inspect connector end-faces and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating. Observe minimum bend radius requirements for the cable throughout the routing path to prevent signal loss. Follow applicable codes including TIA-568 and local building codes for plenum-rated pathways.
