Panduit FHCZO-24-10U HD Flex™ OM4 MPO-LC Fiber Cassette
The Panduit FHCZO-24-10U is a factory-terminated HD Flex™ fiber cassette delivering 24-fiber MPO-to-LC breakout in a compact, rack-mountable form factor. Designed for high-density datacenter and enterprise structured cabling deployments, this OM4 multimode cassette provides pre-tested, plug-and-play connectivity between MPO backbone trunks and LC duplex horizontal runs—eliminating field termination labor, test time, and the performance variability that comes with on-site fusion splicing. The universal polarity method ensures TIA-568 compliance and simplifies deployment across mixed 10G, 40G, and 100G infrastructure without requiring gender-specific MPO trunk cables or field polarity conversions.
Key Features
- 24-fiber OM4 multimode cassette with MPO-12 male input and 12x LC duplex outputs
- Universal polarity method (Method U) for simplified deployment and TIA-568.3-D compliance
- Factory-terminated and tested—optimized insertion loss eliminates field-termination errors
- HD Flex™ platform compatible with Panduit FHD enclosures and modules
- Black polycarbonate housing with integrated dust caps on all LC adapters
- 12 duplex LC adapters with aqua blue color coding for OM4 identification
- 50-micron fiber diameter supporting 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4, and 100GBASE-SR10 applications
The FHCZO-24-10U uses a single MPO-12 male connector on the backbone side to interface with 24-fiber MPO trunk cables, breaking out to 12 duplex LC connections on the front panel. This architecture is the industry-standard method for connecting high-fiber-count backbone infrastructure to active equipment with LC interfaces—common in datacenter top-of-rack switches, SAN fabrics, and enterprise core switches. The OM4 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 400 meters, 40 Gigabit Ethernet up to 150 meters, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters at 850nm wavelength, making it the preferred choice for current and near-future datacenter migration paths. Universal polarity means the cassette works with either Method A or Method B MPO trunk cables without requiring adapters or polarity-reversal modules, reducing inventory complexity and on-site troubleshooting.
This cassette fits Panduit's HD Flex enclosure system, which consolidates fiber management, slack storage, and cable routing in a modular 1U or 2U rack-mount chassis. Typical deployment scenarios include: datacenter MDA-to-EDA trunk breakouts where MPO backbone cables from main distribution areas terminate into cassettes at equipment distribution areas, providing LC connections for server or switch uplinks; enterprise riser applications where vertical MPO trunks distribute to floor-level telecom rooms and break out to LC patch panels; and SAN fabrics where storage arrays with LC transceivers connect to MPO-based structured cabling backbones. The black housing with aqua LC adapters provides instant visual identification of OM4 infrastructure per TIA-598-D color standards, reducing the risk of mismatched fiber types during moves, adds, and changes.
Factory insertion loss optimization and integrated dust caps on all 12 LC adapters maintain optical performance in high-turnover environments. The polycarbonate cassette body provides mechanical protection during installation and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating for plenum and riser pathway compliance. Each unit ships individually packaged with carton quantities of 10 for volume deployments. Panduit provides manufacturer warranty and the cassette integrates with the broader HD Flex ecosystem—including FHD enclosures, MPO trunk cables, and LC patch cords—for end-to-end system compatibility and centralized fiber management in mission-critical installations.
