Panduit FZ8RP5NLSQNM005 QuickNet™ OM4 MPO-8 to LC Fiber Assembly

The Panduit FZ8RP5NLSQNM005 delivers pre-terminated 8-fiber OM4 connectivity between MPO-8 trunk infrastructure and duplex LC equipment ports. This 5-meter plenum-rated assembly handles 40GBASE-SR4 to 10GBASE-SR breakout applications in data centers, campus backbones, and surveillance NVR aggregation points where rapid deployment and consistent optical performance matter more than field termination flexibility.

Key Features

OM4 50μm multimode fiber supports 10Gb/s to 100m, 40Gb/s to 150m over each duplex LC leg

MPO-8 female trunk connector to four duplex LC connectors in 4-to-1 equal-split breakout configuration

OFNP plenum rating for installation in air handling spaces without conduit

60cm (24") breakout fanout length provides organized routing to adjacent patch panels or equipment

Factory-terminated with insertion loss testing eliminates field polishing and reduces deployment time by 75% versus on-site termination

Aqua jacket color codes OM4 fiber type per TIA-598-D standards

This assembly ships factory-tested with standard insertion loss performance. The MPO-8 female connector mates with MPO-8 male trunk cables or cassette modules in a pinned configuration. The four duplex LC connectors break out in an equal-split pattern—each LC pair carries two fibers from the 8-fiber trunk. In 40GBASE-SR4 applications, the MPO side connects to a 40G QSFP+ transceiver while the LC side fans out to four 10GBASE-SR SFP+ ports. For surveillance installations aggregating multiple 10Gb IP camera feeds into a 40G uplink, this assembly provides the physical layer bridge between edge switches and core infrastructure.

The 5-meter overall length suits intra-rack connections, adjacent-rack patching, and short cross-aisle runs in structured cabling environments. The 60cm breakout segment—measured from the MPO connector body to the first LC connector—gives installers enough slack to route individual LC legs to vertically or horizontally displaced ports without kinking the 900μm tight-buffered legs. The OFNP jacket meets NEC Article 770 plenum requirements and carries a flame spread rating under 25 and smoke developed index under 50, making it legal for overhead cable tray and dropped ceiling installations without additional conduit or fire-stop treatments.

Panduit factory-terminates both ends using automated polishing and inspection processes that deliver consistent geometry and endface quality across production runs. Each assembly ships with insertion loss data traceable to the serial number. Standard IL performance targets 0.35dB or better per mated connection pair under TIA-568-C.3 test methods. The aqua jacket identifies OM4 fiber at a glance during adds, moves, and changes—critical in mixed-fiber environments where OM3, OM4, and single-mode cables coexist. The assembly meets or exceeds TIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5 for MPO), TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10 for LC), and ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2 standards, and is RoHS compliant for installation in environments with hazardous substance restrictions.
