Panduit FR1.5IDELBL FiberRunner 1-Port Spillout, Black
Overview
The Panduit FR1.5IDELBL is a 1-Port Spillout fitting for the FiberRunner® cable routing system, purpose-built for data centers and telco central offices where controlled fiber egress from a structured channel pathway matters. This fitting solves a specific installation challenge: routing cable directly out through a hole cut in the side wall of a FiberRunner® channel — into 1.5-inch (38mm) diameter split corrugated tubing — without improvised cutouts or exposed runs that violate bend-radius requirements or look sloppy in an audited space. If you're terminating fiber drops mid-span off a horizontal FiberRunner® run, the FR1.5IDELBL is the engineered exit point.
Compatible with the Panduit FiberRunner® fiber routing channel in 4x4, 6x4, and 12x4 configurations, this fitting integrates cleanly into any of those channel sizes, giving you consistent egress geometry regardless of which channel form factor your installation uses.
Key Features
- Side-Wall Spillout Design: Routes cable through a field-cut hole in the channel sidewall directly into 1.5-inch (38mm) split corrugated tubing. This means fiber exits the channel at a controlled point rather than being draped over the top or forced through an improvised gap — which matters when you're maintaining bend-radius compliance across a structured cable management pathway.
- Multi-Channel Compatibility (4x4, 6x4, 12x4): Works across three FiberRunner® channel sizes, so a single accessory SKU covers most horizontal-run configurations in a mixed-density data center or central office. You don't need separate fittings for different rows if your infrastructure uses more than one channel width.
- Polycarbonate/ABS Construction: The polycarbonate/ABS blend gives this fitting the structural rigidity needed to hold its shape under repeated cable tension without the brittleness of pure polycarbonate — relevant in central office environments where cable pulls happen repeatedly over the life of the installation.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements, which matters when building or retrofitting facilities with environmental compliance mandates. For data centers operating under EU or California RoHS frameworks, this keeps your bill of materials clean.
- UL Listed — Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies: Listed to UL 2024 for Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies and compliant with applicable tests in Telcordia GR-63-CORE Network Equipment Building Systems Level 3. The GR-63-CORE Level 3 compliance is worth noting specifically for telco central office deployments — that standard covers seismic zone 4 environmental requirements, which network equipment in carrier facilities is often required to meet.
- Single-Port Configuration: Each FR1.5IDELBL handles one corrugated tube egress point. For high-density spillout panels with multiple simultaneous exits, plan your fitting count per drop point — this is a per-port fitting, not a multi-port panel.
- Black Finish: Matches standard black FiberRunner® channel hardware, maintaining visual consistency in rack rooms and open-ceiling data center environments where cable infrastructure is visible.
- Compact Footprint: At 5.33 in. wide × 3.12 in. tall × 1.53 in. long (135.4 mm × 79.2 mm), the fitting adds minimal bulk at the egress point — keeps your cable tray profile clean along the run.
Integration & Compatibility
The FR1.5IDELBL is designed for use with the FiberRunner® 4x4, 6x4, and 12x4 channel systems. Installation requires cutting a hole in the channel sidewall at the desired egress location and fitting the spillout to direct cable into 1.5-inch split corrugated tubing. Because the tubing is split corrugated, you can add or remove cables post-installation without disconnecting the run — practical in live data center environments where moves, adds, and changes happen frequently.
For full pathway planning — including horizontal channel runs, vertical sections, and mounting hardware — review the broader Panduit FiberRunner® system catalog to ensure fitting selection aligns with your channel orientation and bend-radius requirements. Pair with appropriate FiberRunner spillout fittings for other egress configurations in the same installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which FiberRunner® channel sizes is the FR1.5IDELBL compatible with?
A: The FR1.5IDELBL is compatible with FiberRunner® 4x4, 6x4, and 12x4 channel configurations. It is not listed for other channel sizes, so verify your channel dimensions before ordering.
Q: What diameter corrugated tubing does the FR1.5IDELBL route cable into?
A: The FR1.5IDELBL routes cable into 1.5-inch (38mm) diameter split corrugated tubing through a hole cut in the FiberRunner® channel sidewall.
Q: Is the FR1.5IDELBL RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The FR1.5IDELBL meets RoHS compliance requirements as listed in the manufacturer's standards documentation.
Q: What does the Telcordia GR-63-CORE Level 3 listing mean for my installation?
A: GR-63-CORE Level 3 covers Network Equipment Building Systems environmental requirements including seismic zone 4 criteria. For telco central office deployments in seismically active regions, this compliance supports equipment qualification under carrier-grade facility standards.
Q: How many spillout fittings come in a package?
A: The FR1.5IDELBL is sold individually (Package Quantity: 1). The carton quantity is 5 units, but each unit is available as a single piece.
Q: Does the FR1.5IDELBL require any special tools for installation?
A: Installation requires cutting a hole in the FiberRunner® channel sidewall at the desired egress point. No specialized proprietary tooling is specified beyond standard data center cable management hand tools; consult the FiberRunner® installation guide for hole sizing and placement guidance.
The FR1.5IDELBL is one of those fittings that looks trivial on a BOM until you're mid-installation and realize you don't have a controlled exit point for your corrugated tubing off the horizontal run. The 1.5-inch (38mm) target tube diameter is specific — don't assume you can force this fitting to work with a different tubing size or you'll compromise the bend-radius geometry at the exit point, which is the whole reason you're using a structured system in the first place.
Technical Highlights:
- GR-63-CORE Level 3 Compliance: Not just UL Listed — specifically tested against Telcordia's seismic zone 4 criteria for network equipment building systems. In carrier central office work, this is a procurement checkbox that routinely blocks non-compliant cable management hardware from installation approval.
- Multi-Channel Fit (4x4 / 6x4 / 12x4): One fitting SKU spanning three FiberRunner® channel widths keeps your spare parts inventory simple. On large horizontal cable management installations with mixed channel densities per row, this matters operationally.
- Polycarbonate/ABS Construction: The material blend resists the cracking that pure polycarbonate can exhibit under repeated mechanical stress — relevant when the corrugated tubing attached to this fitting gets pulled or repositioned during moves and adds over a multi-year facility life.
Deployment Considerations:
- The spillout requires a field-cut hole in the FiberRunner® channel sidewall — size and placement per Panduit's installation documentation. Cut location determines your final cable egress angle, so plan the hole position relative to your rack or patch panel termination point before cutting.
- This is a single-port fitting (one tube per FR1.5IDELBL). High-density egress locations with multiple corrugated tube exits need one fitting per exit point — factor that into your fitting count when pulling your BOM for a full row.
The FR1.5IDELBL is the right call for telco central office and hyperscale data center horizontal runs where GR-63-CORE environmental compliance is a hard requirement and you need a clean, repeatable fiber egress into split corrugated tubing without improvised field modifications to the channel.
