Panduit FZTYP5EL2SAM060 OM3 12-fiber Trunk Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZTYP5EL2SAM060 is a pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber 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, making it a breakout-style trunk assembly suited for data center and enterprise network environments. The cable jacket is rated OFNP, meaning it meets plenum fire rating requirements for air-handling spaces. This assembly ships as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and data center infrastructure specialists.

This trunk cable is used in horizontal or backbone fiber runs where high port density and fast deployment are priorities. The MPO-to-LC duplex breakout configuration allows a single MPO interface to fan out to multiple LC-connected devices such as switches, patch panels, or transceivers. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit projects in commercial data centers, enterprise server rooms, and campus backbone applications where plenum-rated cabling is required by code.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• MPO female to LC duplex breakout design enables high-density port consolidation
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets fire code requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• 12-fiber construction in a single trunk assembly reduces installation time versus field-terminated solutions
• Factory-terminated ends provide consistent insertion loss and eliminate field polishing errors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated trunk assembly for use with MPO-compatible patch panels, cassettes, and LC-interfaced active equipment in OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage technicians familiar with structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801. Always inspect connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and do not pull by the connectors. Plenum-rated installations must comply with applicable local fire and building codes.
