Panduit FZTYP5EL2SAF190 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZTYP5EL2SAF190 is an OM3 multimode 12-fiber trunk cable designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-density fiber distribution systems. The cable features an MPO female connector on one end and LC duplex connectors on the other, making it a common interface solution between backbone trunk runs and equipment-side patch panels or active devices. It carries an OFNP (optical fiber nonconductive plenum) rating, which qualifies it for installation in air-handling plenum spaces without the need for conduit in those environments. Licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractors are the typical installers.

This trunk cable suits high-density fiber backbone applications where OM3 multimode performance is required. The MPO-to-LC duplex breakout configuration is widely used in modular pre-terminated cabling systems, connecting MPO trunk cassettes, patch panels, or MTP modules to LC-port switches, servers, or storage devices. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G applications over appropriate link distances
• 12-fiber count in a single trunk cable reduces conduit fill and simplifies routing
• MPO female to LC duplex connector configuration for direct integration with modular cassette systems
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Pre-terminated factory assembly eliminates field polishing and reduces installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or system component for OM3 multimode structured cabling installations using MPO backbone and LC duplex equipment interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Inspect all MPO and LC ferrules for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius during routing and securing. Power down active ports on switches or transceivers before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies.
