Panduit FRVT12X4LBL FiberRunner 12x4 Vertical Tee Fitting
Overview
The Panduit FRVT12X4LBL is a 90-degree vertical tee fitting designed exclusively for the FiberRunner 12x4 fiber routing system. It solves a specific routing problem that straight-run hardware can't handle: dropping a fiber run vertically out of a horizontal pathway — the kind of transition you encounter when moving cables from overhead ladder rack down to a patch panel bay, or routing from a horizontal ceiling run into a vertical cable manager on the side of a rack. Built from polycarbonate/ABS and finished in black, this fitting spans 18 inches wide and 8.38 inches tall, proportioned to maintain the full 12x4 channel capacity through the bend without pinching or over-bending fiber. Sold individually (package quantity: 1), the FRVT12X4LBL is the right component to spec when your FiberRunner layout requires a 90-degree vertical deviation off a horizontal run.
Key Features
- 90-Degree Vertical Drop — System-Native Geometry: The tee creates a true 90-degree vertical departure from a horizontal FiberRunner run. This isn't a workaround — it's a purpose-built transition that preserves minimum bend radius compliance for fiber, preventing signal degradation and jacket stress you'd get from improvised routing or excessive cable ties.
- 18-Inch Channel Width (457.2 mm): At 18 inches wide, this fitting matches the full channel width of the FiberRunner 12x4 system. That means high-density fiber bundles — think multi-fiber trunk cables or multiple 24-fiber MPO assemblies — route through without lane-switching or re-bundling at the transition point. No derating of the pathway's capacity at this junction.
- 8.38-Inch Overall Height (212.8 mm) / 14.63-Inch Overall Length: The physical envelope of 8.38
