Panduit FYZTPLLO005F020 20FT OM4 12FB ISDT Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FYZTPLLO005F020 is a 20-foot fiber optic cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications. It utilizes OM4 multimode fiber, providing enhanced bandwidth for 10/40/100 GbE Ethernet links over shorter distances compared to OM3. The 12-fiber count supports parallel optics and future scalability, while the ISDT (Indoor/Outdoor, Sunlight Resistant, Dry Tape) construction offers durability for indoor installations where environmental factors may be a concern. This cable is suitable for structured cabling deployments requiring reliable, high-speed data transmission.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard fiber optic transceivers and connectors (e.g., MPO/MTP) that support OM4 fiber and 12-fiber configurations. It integrates into Panduit's structured cabling systems and is compatible with network equipment from major manufacturers requiring OM4 performance, such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and HPE, for applications up to 100 Gbps. It is also suitable for use with surveillance systems utilizing high-bandwidth fiber uplinks to NVRs or core switches.

Installation Notes

The minimum bend radius for this cable is 15mm (0.6 in) when laid straight and 30mm (1.2 in) when installed with a bend. Ensure proper handling to avoid exceeding these limits, which could degrade performance. The ISDT construction provides some protection against moisture and UV exposure, but it is primarily intended for indoor use. Terminate using appropriate MPO/MTP connectors and fusion splice or mechanical splice connectors for fiber-to-fiber connections.
