Panduit FIVRA2X2LBL FiberRunner Inner Vertical Right Angle

The Panduit FIVRA2X2LBL is an inner vertical right angle fitting engineered to create 90-degree upward transitions in FiberRunner 2x2 fiber routing systems. Designed for data center and telecommunications central office environments, this component attaches directly to the channel to route fiber cables from horizontal runs to vertical risers. When paired with the outer vertical connector (FOVRA2X2LYL), the assembly enables clean plane changes in structured fiber pathways. The polycarbonate/ABS construction meets NEBS Level 3 criteria and carries UL 2024A listing for fiber cable tray assemblies, making it code-compliant for carrier-grade installations where pathway integrity directly impacts network uptime.

Key Features

• 90-degree inner vertical angle fitting for FiberRunner 2x2 channel systems
• Polycarbonate/ABS blend withstands data center temperature cycling and UV exposure
• UL 2024A listed for fiber cable tray assemblies; RoHS compliant
• NEBS Level 3 rated per Telcordia GR-63-CORE seismic and environmental standards
• 6.95" height × 2.42" length footprint fits standard rack spacing and overhead ladder configurations
• Black finish maintains visual consistency in exposed pathway installations
• Carton quantity of 5 supports multi-row riser deployments

This fitting solves a recurring problem in structured fiber deployments: maintaining bend radius compliance when transitioning from horizontal overhead pathways to vertical cable managers or inter-floor risers. The inner angle component mounts to the base channel and provides the curved guide surface that prevents kinking at the 90-degree turn point. The 6.95-inch height dimension accommodates typical 2-inch FiberRunner channel profiles while the 2.42-inch length keeps the fitting compact enough for dense rack environments. Installers mount the inner angle first, then add the outer vertical connector to complete the enclosed pathway—this two-piece design allows cable loading from the side before final closure, which speeds installation compared to monolithic elbows that require fishing cables through the turn. The polycarbonate/ABS material blend delivers impact resistance superior to pure ABS while retaining the flame rating required by NEC Article 770 for optical fiber cables and raceways.

Data center and telecom CO deployments prioritize pathway systems that maintain service during seismic events and temperature extremes. The NEBS Level 3 rating confirms this fitting survived the full Telcordia GR-63-CORE test protocol: Zone 4 earthquake simulation, -40°C to +65°C operating range, and office vibration profiles. For integrators working on carrier central offices, federal data centers, or colocation facilities with contractual uptime SLAs, NEBS compliance is often a hard bid requirement—non-compliant pathway components can trigger change orders or failed inspections. The UL 2024A listing covers the complete assembly (channel + fittings) rather than individual components, which satisfies AHJs requiring listed pathway systems under NEC 770.113. The RoHS compliance documentation supports procurement workflows for federal and European projects with hazardous substance restrictions.

This fitting is specified when horizontal fiber trunk routes must rise to overhead cable trays, descend to under-floor pathways, or connect between vertically stacked equipment rows. The 2x2 FiberRunner system designation refers to the 2-inch × 2-inch internal channel cross-section, which accommodates approximately 144 to 288 fibers in typical 12-strand loose-tube distribution cables. Integrators deploying spine-and-leaf architectures in hyperscale data centers use these fittings at top-of-rack transitions where horizontal inter-rack trunks meet vertical riser pathways feeding aggregation switches on mezzanine platforms. The black colorway matches standard data center aesthetics and reduces visual clutter in exposed ceiling installations—critical for facilities offering customer tours or maintaining clean-room-adjacent spaces. Each carton contains five fittings to support symmetric riser designs (e.g., dual risers serving redundant core switches) without split-pack ordering, streamlining bill-of-materials management for projects installing 20+ racks with dual-path fiber redundancy.
