Panduit FRH45CV24LYL FiberRunner 24x4 45-Degree Horizontal Cover

Overview

The Panduit FRH45CV24LYL is a 45-degree horizontal cover designed specifically for the FiberRunner 24x4 fiber management system, providing enclosed protection at horizontal bend points in data center and central office telecom deployments. At 28.49 inches wide and spanning 24.74 inches in length, this polycarbonate/ABS cover creates a clean, enclosed pathway over the bend fitting — shielding fiber cables from accidental snagging or physical damage at one of the most vulnerable points in any overhead or below-floor routing run. The cover's hinged or lift-off access design maintains the FiberRunner system's core benefit: you can add or remove cables at the bend without disassembling the raceway. If you're building out a structured fiber backbone and you've invested in FiberRunner 24x4 trunking, this cover is the finishing component that keeps the system enclosed, compliant, and cable-safe through every horizontal turn.

Key Features

• Purpose-built for FiberRunner 24x4 Bends: The FRH45CV24LYL is designed exclusively for use with the FiberRunner 24x4 system — it mounts directly over the 45-degree horizontal bend fitting, so you get a flush, enclosed raceway rather than an open bend exposing your fiber to physical contact or dust accumulation. If your raceway system changes direction at the ceiling plane, this cover eliminates the gap.
• Polycarbonate/ABS Construction: The polycarbonate/ABS material blend delivers impact resistance without excess weight. For overhead installations in active data centers or telecom rooms, this means the cover won't crack under incidental contact from cable pulls or ladder work, and it won't add meaningful load to suspended raceway hardware.
• Yellow Color for System Identification: The yellow finish matches the FiberRunner 24x4 system's standard color coding. In mixed-media environments where copper trays and fiber raceways share overhead real estate, the yellow immediately signals fiber routing — useful during adds, moves, and changes when technicians need to locate the correct pathway fast.
• 28.49-Inch Span Covers the Full Bend Footprint: The 28.49-inch (723.6mm) width ensures the cover spans the complete footprint of the 45-degree bend fitting. No gaps, no exposed fiber at the edges — the cover does its job whether the raceway carries a handful of trunk cables or a fully loaded 24x4 channel.
• 1.57-Inch Profile Stays Low: At 1.57 inches (39.9mm) in overall height, the cover adds minimal clearance requirements above the installed bend fitting. In ceiling plenum spaces or raised-floor environments where vertical clearance is at a premium, a low-profile cover prevents interference with adjacent runs or structural elements.
• RoHS Compliant Material: The polycarbonate/ABS formulation meets RoHS requirements, which matters for enterprise and government facilities with material compliance mandates on installed infrastructure.
• UL Listed for Optical Cable Guidance Assemblies (to 2024A): UL certification for optical cable guidance assemblies means this cover is recognized as part of a tested, compliant fiber management system. For facilities requiring documented code compliance on infrastructure installations, UL listing eliminates the paperwork question.
• Telcordia GR-63-CORE and NEBS Level 3 Tested: The FiberRunner system, including this cover, meets Telcordia GR-63-CORE seismic and environmental requirements at NEBS Level 3. For carrier central offices and any facility where network equipment building system standards apply, this is a required compliance checkpoint — not a nice-to-have.

Integration and Compatibility

The FRH45CV24LYL is engineered exclusively for the FiberRunner 24x4 fiber routing system. It mates with the 45-degree horizontal bend fitting in that product family and is not interchangeable with other FiberRunner channel widths or configurations. Before ordering, confirm your installed raceway is the 24x4 variant — the width and mounting geometry are specific to that channel size. The yellow color is standard for this system; if your installation requires a different color variant, verify the correct part number against the FiberRunner configurator. This cover ships individually (package quantity of 1), so order quantity should match the number of 45-degree horizontal bend points in your raceway layout. For a complete fiber raceway planning guide, cross-reference your bend count at the design stage to avoid field shortages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What raceway system is the FRH45CV24LYL compatible with?

A: The FRH45CV24LYL is designed exclusively for use with the Panduit FiberRunner 24x4 system. It covers the 45-degree horizontal bend fitting in that specific channel size and is not compatible with other FiberRunner widths or configurations.

Q: What certifications and standards does the FRH45CV24LYL meet?

A: The FRH45CV24LYL meets RoHS compliance requirements, is UL listed for optical cable guidance assemblies up to 2024A, and the FiberRunner system has been tested to Telcordia GR-63-CORE and Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) Level 3 standards.

Q: How many covers are included per order?

A: The FRH45CV24LYL ships with a package quantity of 1. Order one unit per 45-degree horizontal bend fitting in your FiberRunner 24x4 raceway layout.

Q: What are the overall dimensions of the FRH45CV24LYL?

A: The cover measures 28.49 inches (723.6mm) wide, 24.74 inches in overall length, and 1.57 inches (39.9mm) in height — sized to span the full footprint of the FiberRunner 24x4 45-degree horizontal bend fitting.

Q: What material is the FRH45CV24LYL made from?

A: The cover is constructed from a polycarbonate/ABS blend, providing impact resistance and RoHS-compliant material composition suited for data center and telecom room environments.

Q: Is the FRH45CV24LYL appropriate for carrier central office installations?

A: Yes. The FiberRunner system, including this cover, is tested to Telcordia GR-63-CORE and NEBS Level 3 standards, which are the baseline requirements for carrier central office and network equipment building system deployments.

James Everett

The FRH45CV24LYL is a finishing component, not a feature product — but skipping it means leaving a 28.49-inch bend span open in your FiberRunner 24x4 raceway, which is exactly where fiber gets snagged during the next cable pull. I specify this cover any time the raceway layout includes a 45-degree horizontal direction change, because an uncovered bend on an active run is an incident waiting to happen.

Technical Highlights:

• NEBS Level 3 / GR-63-CORE Compliance: The FiberRunner system including this cover has been tested to Telcordia GR-63-CORE seismic standards at NEBS Level 3 — the threshold for carrier-grade central office infrastructure. If your project spec sheet calls out NEBS compliance, this is a line item you can check off without a separate test report.
• UL Listed to 2024A: UL certification for optical cable guidance assemblies means the cover is part of a recognized system, not just a plastic shroud dropped over a fitting. For facilities teams requiring listed components throughout, this matters at the inspection stage.
• Low 1.57-Inch Profile: At 39.9mm in height, this cover won't create a conflict with adjacent cable trays or HVAC runs in tight ceiling plenum spaces. That clearance number is worth checking against your as-built drawings before you finalize the raceway elevation.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your installed raceway is FiberRunner 24x4 specifically — the 28.49-inch width and mounting geometry of this cover are sized for that channel and will not fit 12x4 or other variants in the FiberRunner family.
• Package quantity is 1 unit per SKU, so tally your 45-degree horizontal bend count during design and order accordingly. Running short on covers mid-installation in an occupied data center floor is an avoidable delay.

The FRH45CV24LYL belongs on any FiberRunner 24x4 build in a carrier central office or enterprise data center where the raceway changes horizontal direction — specifically in facilities where NEBS Level 3 compliance is a contractual requirement or where active fiber management during live operations makes an enclosed bend non-negotiable.
