Panduit FZ8RP7NUSQNF099 8-F OM4 PANMPO-F TO LC UNIBOOT
Overview
The Panduit FZ8RP7NUSQNF099 is an 8-fiber OM4 Uniboot patch cord designed for high-density fiber optic applications. It terminates with an MPO (female) connector on one end and two LC (Uniboot) connectors on the other. This configuration is critical for reducing cable bulk and simplifying management in data center racks and enterprise network closets where space is at a premium. The Uniboot design consolidates two simplex fibers into a single duplex cable jacket, halving the number of cables needed for duplex connections and improving airflow.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for use with standard MPO/MTP trunk assemblies and LC-based network equipment, including switches, servers, and patch panels. It is suitable for OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure, supporting 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet applications and beyond. Specifically, it is designed to interface with Panduit's own fiber optic connectivity systems and other compliant MPO and LC components.
Installation Notes
The Uniboot design requires careful attention during installation. Ensure the MPO connector is properly seated and the LC connectors are correctly oriented to maintain polarity. The push-pull tab on the LC connectors facilitates easy insertion and removal. The reduced cable diameter compared to traditional duplex cables aids in cable management, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends that could exceed the minimum bend radius of OM4 fiber, which is 7.5mm.
