Panduit FODPX06Y Bulk Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FODPX06Y is a 6-fiber OM3 indoor distribution cable designed for structured cabling systems where plenum-rated, riser-free installation is required. It features 900µm buffered fibers for robust protection and easy termination, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling runs in commercial environments. The aqua jacket clearly identifies it as OM3 fiber, supporting 10 GbE and higher speeds.

Compatibility

This cable is intended for use with standard fiber optic termination and splicing equipment. It is compatible with any network switch, server, or device requiring OM3 fiber connectivity, including those utilizing LC, SC, or MPO connectors after appropriate termination. Its construction is suitable for deployment within Panduit's Opti-Core® fiber optic systems and other structured cabling architectures.

Installation Notes

The 900µm buffered fibers offer a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25mm) during installation and 0.5 inch (12.5mm) in operation, preventing signal degradation from tight bends. The OFNP plenum rating ensures compliance for installation in air-handling spaces, but installers must adhere to local building codes and fire safety regulations. Termination requires standard fiber optic tools and connectors suitable for 900µm buffered fiber.
