Panduit FOPPX12Y OM3 12-Fiber Indoor Cable

Overview

The Panduit FOPPX12Y is an OM3 multi-mode fiber optic cable designed for indoor network infrastructure deployments. It features 12 fibers with a 50-micron core, suitable for high-bandwidth data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. The interlocking armored construction provides enhanced physical protection, making it a robust choice for areas where cable integrity is paramount. This cable is specified for use with 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths, delivering reliable performance for applications like IP surveillance backbone connectivity or high-speed data links.

Compatibility

This Panduit FOPPX12Y cable is compatible with standard OM3 multi-mode fiber optic transceivers and network equipment that support 50-micron core fiber. It is designed to integrate with Panduit's broader fiber optic connectivity solutions, including patch panels, connectors, and splicing equipment. Ensure your network switches, routers, and other active equipment are configured for OM3 multi-mode fiber to leverage its full capabilities.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC and colored aqua, typical for OM3 fiber. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to 167 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 75 degrees Celsius), allowing for installation in a wide variety of indoor environmental conditions. The interlocking armor requires careful handling during termination to avoid damaging the fiber strands. Ensure proper bend radius is maintained throughout the installation to prevent signal degradation.
