Panduit's FODLX24 Opti-Core distribution cable delivers 24 strands of laser-optimized OM3 multimode fiber in a compact, LSZH-rated jacket designed for indoor backbone installations where fire codes prohibit PVC. Each fiber features 900µm tight buffering for direct termination to connectors without fanout kits, reducing labor and splice points in enterprise, datacenter, and campus security networks. The aqua jacket provides instant visual identification of 10G/40G/100G-capable OM3 media, while the 50-micron core supports link distances up to 300 meters at 10 Gbps and 100 meters at 40/100 Gbps over standard LC or MPO interfaces.
The FODLX24 uses Panduit's Opti-Core laser-optimized OM3 fiber, manufactured to exceed TIA-492AAAC and IEC 60793-2-10 A1a.2 specifications. Each 50-micron core supports effective modal bandwidth of 2000 MHz·km at 850nm, enabling 300-meter 10GBASE-SR links or 100-meter 40GBASE-SR4 / 100GBASE-SR10 runs without mode conditioning. The 900µm tight buffer—three times the diameter of bare 250µm fiber—provides mechanical protection and sufficient rigidity for direct fusion splicing or crimp/epoxy connector termination in the field, eliminating the cost and failure points associated with breakout fanout kits. LSZH jacketing substitutes halogenated flame retardants with mineral fillers, producing minimal smoke and no corrosive halogen gases during combustion—critical for enclosed spaces like server rooms, telecom closets, and equipment vaults where personnel egress and sensitive electronics coexist.
This cable suits structured cabling backbones in commercial buildings, IP surveillance aggregation trunks between network closets, and datacenter east-west interconnects where 10G/40G bandwidth is required but single-mode's 9µm core alignment tolerances are impractical. Security integrators commonly deploy 24-fiber OM3 trunk cables to link camera network switches across floors or buildings, reserving individual fibers for future VMS expansion or failover paths. The aqua jacket instantly distinguishes OM3 from legacy OM1/OM2 (orange) or OM4 (aqua with erika violet stripe), preventing accidental cross-patching that would degrade 10G links. Tight-buffered construction tolerates the tighter bend radii common in cable trays and patch panel dressings—typically 10× cable diameter under no-load conditions—without inducing attenuation spikes that plague loose-tube designs indoors.
The FODLX24 ships as bulk cable for custom-length runs, sold per foot with a 1-unit package quantity. It meets LSZH flammability standards including IEC 60332-1 (vertical flame propagation) and IEC 61034 (smoke density), satisfying European EN 50575 CPR Construction Products Regulation and North American building codes that mandate low-smoke cable in return-air plenums or where PVC is prohibited. For IP security and IT infrastructure projects requiring scalable fiber counts, field-terminable buffering, and strict fire safety compliance, the FODLX24 provides a proven Panduit Opti-Core foundation for current 10G deployments and future 40G/100G migration paths.
