Panduit FZTYP5EL2SAF040 OM3 12F Trunk Cable Mpo Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZTYP5EL2SAF040 is a 12-fiber OM3 multimode trunk cable with an OFNP (plenum-rated) outer jacket, featuring an MPO female connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other. This type of pre-terminated trunk assembly is used to interconnect fiber distribution hardware, patch panels, and active equipment in structured cabling systems. The plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit. Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or data cabling technicians working in commercial or enterprise environments.

This trunk cable is designed for high-density fiber backbone and horizontal runs in data centers, enterprise LANs, and commercial building infrastructure. The MPO-to-LC breakout configuration supports connections from high-density MPO-based equipment to standard LC duplex ports on switches, transceivers, or patch panels. It is well suited for 10G and 40G network deployments that use OM3 multimode fiber.

Key Features

• OM3 50/125 multimode fiber supports 10G and 40G applications
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket approved for use in air-handling plenums per NEC Article 770
• 12-fiber count in a single trunk assembly reduces cable management complexity
• MPO female to LC duplex configuration bridges high-density and standard-port equipment
• Pre-terminated factory-polished connectors reduce field termination time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install trunk cable for OM3 multimode fiber distribution systems using MPO and LC duplex interfaces in structured cabling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 and NEC Article 770 guidelines. Inspect connector end-faces prior to mating and use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools to prevent contamination. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing and dressing. Power down active equipment before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies where hot-plug operation is not supported.
