Panduit FFWC2X2LYL 2x2 4-Way Cross Fitting

Panduit FFWC2X2LYL FiberRunner 2x2 Four-Way Cross Fitting

The Panduit FFWC2X2LYL is a four-way horizontal cross junction for 2x2 FiberRunner fiber management systems in data centers, telecom central offices, and structured cabling backbone installations. This yellow polycarbonate/ABS fitting creates perpendicular pathway intersections where four 2x2 FiberRunner channels meet, maintaining proper bend radius and cable protection throughout the junction. UL-certified for optical cable routing assemblies to 2024A and tested to Telcordia GR-63-CORE NEBS Level 3 standards, it meets the thermal cycling, vibration, and seismic requirements of carrier-grade and mission-critical environments. Ships one fitting per package; carton quantities available in units of five.

Key Features

• Four-way horizontal cross junction for 2x2 FiberRunner pathways
• Polycarbonate/ABS construction for impact resistance and long-term dimensional stability
• UL-certified optical cable routing assemblies to 2024A for fire-rated installations
• Telcordia GR-63-CORE NEBS Level 3 compliant (thermal shock, vibration, seismic)
• RoHS compliant for restricted substance requirements
• Yellow color for visual identification and pathway tracing
• 12.16" x 12.16" footprint, 2.08" overall height
• Snap-together assembly with adjacent 2x2 channels and fittings

The FFWC2X2LYL cross fitting integrates directly with Panduit 2x2 FiberRunner channels to create four-way intersections in horizontal fiber distribution systems. The molded junction geometry maintains minimum bend radius for singlemode and multimode fiber throughout the cross, preventing signal loss and physical damage during installation and MAC (moves, adds, changes) work. The polycarbonate/ABS blend provides impact resistance against dropped tools and equipment while maintaining dimensional stability across the -40°C to +65°C operating range required by NEBS Level 3. Four identical 2x2 openings accept FiberRunner channels or additional fittings on all four sides, allowing ladder-style pathway layouts in data center hot aisle/cold aisle configurations or telecom CO fiber distribution frames. The snap-together design requires no fasteners for channel-to-fitting connections, reducing installation labor and eliminating metal hardware that can snag fiber jackets.

Deploy the FFWC2X2LYL at pathway intersections in raised-floor data centers where fiber trunk routes cross equipment row feeds, in telecom central offices where backbone fiber distribution meets bay-level pathways, or in structured cabling installations where building risers intersect floor-level horizontal runs. The 12.16" square footprint fits standard 24" raised floor tile grids on 12" centers, simplifying layout and support bracket placement. Yellow color coding integrates with Panduit's FiberRunner color scheme for pathway identification—common in environments where separate fiber systems (production, out-of-band management, storage networks) run parallel routes and visual differentiation prevents cross-connection errors during maintenance. The 2.08" low-profile height fits beneath raised floors with limited plenum depth and clears cable tray crossings in overhead ladder rack installations.

UL certification to 2024A covers the specific fire and smoke requirements for optical fiber cable routing assemblies in plenum, riser, and general-purpose spaces, ensuring code compliance in commercial occupancies where AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) requires listed pathway systems. Telcordia GR-63-CORE NEBS Level 3 compliance confirms the fitting survived thermal shock testing (-40°C to +65°C), seismic zone 4 earthquake simulation, and transportation vibration profiles—mandatory for carrier CO installations and increasingly specified in enterprise data centers with Uptime Institute Tier III/IV design requirements. RoHS compliance addresses restricted substance regulations in EU markets and organizations with global environmental procurement standards.
