Panduit FC3XN-16-10A 40G-10G OM3 CASSETTE STD LOSS
Overview
The Panduit FC3XN-16-10A is a standard loss cassette designed to transition from 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections. It leverages OM3 multimode fiber optics, providing a cost-effective method for network segmentation or upgrading infrastructure. This cassette is engineered for high-density rack environments where efficient use of space and reliable performance are critical. Deploy this cassette when you need to connect 40GbE equipment, such as switches or transceivers, to existing 10GbE infrastructure without replacing entire network segments.
Compatibility
This cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's high-density fiber optic enclosures and panels. It is compatible with systems utilizing MPO/MTP connectors for 40GbE (QSFP+) and LC connectors for 10GbE (SFP+). Specifically, it interfaces with Panduit's Net-Access and QuickNet cassette systems. Ensure your existing network infrastructure supports MPO/MTP to LC breakout configurations for seamless integration.
Installation Notes
Installation requires careful handling of fiber optic connectors to prevent contamination and damage. Ensure the cassette is seated correctly within its compatible Panduit enclosure. Use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before connecting any cables. The standard loss rating is suitable for typical data center link lengths up to 50 meters over OM3 fiber for 10GbE, and shorter distances for 40GbE applications.
