Panduit FRIDT4X4LYL 2-Port FiberRunner Spillout Fitting, 4x4, Yellow

Overview

The Panduit FRIDT4X4LYL is a 2-Port Spillout fitting engineered for the Panduit FiberRunner 4x4 raceway system, purpose-built for data centers and telco central offices where controlled fiber breakout is non-negotiable. It splits a single 4x4 FiberRunner pathway into two independent 1.5-inch (38mm) diameter split corrugated tubing exits — giving structured cabling designers a clean, code-compliant transition point when fiber needs to diverge from a trunk route to individual equipment or patch zones.

Constructed from Polycarbonate/ABS, the FRIDT4X4LYL carries yellow color coding that matches the standard FiberRunner 4x4 family, making lane identification instant during adds, moves, and changes in dense wire routing and cable management environments. Dimensions are 5.42 in. wide × 3.53 in. tall × 4.64 in. long — sized to fit flush within standard FiberRunner 4x4 channel runs without creating a bottleneck in tray fill.

Key Features

• Dual 1.5-Inch Corrugated Tubing Exits: Each port accommodates 1.5-inch split corrugated tubing, giving you a dedicated, protected pathway for each fiber bundle leaving the main trunk. This prevents abrasion at the breakout point — a common failure mode in high-density data center cabling when fiber is left unsupported at transitions.
• Polycarbonate/ABS Construction: The blend of polycarbonate and ABS delivers impact resistance alongside dimensional stability under the thermal cycling typical of active equipment rooms. You're not fighting warped fittings when a floor tile comes off and a cable tray gets bumped during a maintenance window.
• Yellow Color Coding — 4x4 System Match: Yellow aligns with the Panduit FiberRunner 4x4 color convention, so cable pathways remain visually distinct by size and type. In a data hall running multiple FiberRunner sizes, color discipline at every fitting reduces mis-routing during hot adds.
• RoHS Compliant: Materials meet RoHS requirements, which matters for enterprise procurement teams operating under EU environmental directives or corporate sustainability mandates — no special exemption tracking required.
• UL Listed to UL 2024A: Listed to UL 2024A Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies standard, confirming the fitting meets the mechanical and fire-performance benchmarks required by NEC-compliant installations. Specify with confidence on permitted cable tray submittals.
• Telcordia GR-63-CORE Level 3 Compliance: Tested to Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) Level 3 seismic and environmental criteria — directly relevant for carrier central offices and co-location facilities where equipment must survive defined seismic zone events without compromising fiber continuity.
• Compact Overall Footprint (5.42 × 3.53 × 4.64 in.): The fitting does not project significantly beyond the FiberRunner channel profile, keeping overhead clearance intact in low-ceiling MDF/IDF rooms where every inch above the tray matters.

Integration & Compatibility

The FRIDT4X4LYL is designed exclusively for use with the FiberRunner 4x4 fiber routing system. It interfaces at a standard 4x4 FiberRunner fitting port and exits into two 1.5-inch split corrugated tubing runs — confirm your corrugated tubing order matches the 1.5-inch diameter before combining with this fitting. It is not interchangeable with FiberRunner 2x2, 4x2, or 6x4 channel fittings; the 4x4 designation refers to the raceway cross-section, not a generic fitting class.

For data center deployments, pair this fitting with compatible overhead cable management hardware and Panduit split corrugated tubing sized to 1.5 inches to complete the spillout assembly. Carton quantity is 5 units; this listing is for a single unit (package quantity 1), so factor that into project BOM quantities when ordering for large structured cabling deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What FiberRunner channel size does the FRIDT4X4LYL fit?

A: The FRIDT4X4LYL is designed specifically for the 4x4 FiberRunner system. It is not compatible with 2x2, 4x2, or other FiberRunner channel sizes.

Q: What diameter tubing do the two exit ports accept?

A: Each port routes cable into 1.5-inch (approximately 38mm) diameter split corrugated tubing. Confirm your corrugated tubing selection matches this diameter before ordering.

Q: Is the FRIDT4X4LYL RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FRIDT4X4LYL is RoHS compliant per the standards listed on the product specification sheet.

Q: Is this fitting rated for use in telco central offices?

A: Yes. The FRIDT4X4LYL meets Telcordia GR-63-CORE NEBS Level 3 requirements for seismic and environmental performance, making it suitable for carrier-grade central office environments.

Q: How many units come in a package?

A: The standard package quantity is 1 unit. Carton quantity is 5 units — order accordingly for project-scale deployments.

Q: What UL listing applies to the FRIDT4X4LYL?

A: The fitting is UL Listed to UL 2024A Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies, confirming compliance with NEC-recognized cable routing assembly standards.

James Everett

The FRIDT4X4LYL is a detail that separates a clean FiberRunner 4x4 installation from one that turns into a troubleshooting problem six months later. The two 1.5-inch corrugated tubing exits give you a physically protected, bend-radius-controlled transition out of the main trunk channel — the kind of breakout point that holds up when someone is pulling a new run in a live data center at 2am and isn't being careful about nearby fiber.

Technical Highlights:

• Dual 1.5-Inch Exits: Two independent 1.5-inch corrugated tubing ports let you separate fiber runs at the tray breakout without sharing a single unprotected exit — critical in high-density rows where adjacent run separation reduces cross-bundle abrasion over time.
• NEBS Level 3 / GR-63-CORE: Telcordia GR-63-CORE Level 3 compliance is not a marketing claim — it's a tested seismic and environmental threshold. For central office builds, this is the spec your structural engineer and carrier client are going to ask about, and the FRIDT4X4LYL has it documented.
• UL 2024A Listing: UL 2024A listing for Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies means the fitting can appear on your permit submittal and pass AHJ review without a field engineering workaround.

Deployment Considerations:

• This fitting is specific to the 4x4 FiberRunner channel — if you're mixing 4x4 and 4x2 runs in the same overhead tray, source the correct spillout for each channel size separately; they do not interchange.
• Package quantity is 1 unit, not 5 — the carton of 5 is the bulk shipping unit, but you're ordering individual fittings. Price your BOM accordingly and don't assume a single line item covers multiple breakout points.

For a carrier central office or co-location data hall where the cabling plant needs to survive seismic events and pass NEBS Level 3 review, the FRIDT4X4LYL is the correct fitting to specify at every 4x4 FiberRunner spillout point — not a generic field-fabricated workaround.
