Panduit FDCWA-24-10B1LH Fiber Optic Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FDCWA-24-10B1LH is a 24-fiber, OM5, front-access fiber optic cassette. It provides a high-density termination point for fiber optic cabling within Panduit's HD Flex™ fiber optic enclosures. This cassette simplifies fiber management by offering LC duplex adapters on the front, allowing for direct connection of patch cords or trunk cables. Its design is optimized for environments requiring efficient fiber termination and management, such as data centers or telecommunications rooms where space is at a premium and rapid deployment is critical. The FDCWA-24-10B1LH model specifically uses OM5 multimode fiber, supporting applications that require wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) for increased bandwidth over shorter distances.

Compatibility

This cassette is designed exclusively for use with Panduit HD Flex™ fiber optic enclosures. It is not compatible with other enclosure types or brands. The front-access design ensures it integrates seamlessly into the HD Flex system architecture, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without requiring access to the rear of the enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation involves sliding the cassette into the designated bay within a Panduit HD Flex enclosure. Ensure the enclosure is properly grounded. The front-facing LC duplex adapters are designed for standard fiber optic patch cords. No specialized tools are required beyond standard fiber optic termination and handling practices.
