Panduit FHCT-7ZUJ MPO-MPO SR4 Fiber Optic Cable Assembly

Overview

The Panduit FHCT-7ZUJ is a high-density, multimode MPO-to-MPO SR4 fiber optic cable assembly designed for 40Gbps Ethernet and InfiniBand applications. This assembly is critical for simplifying structured cabling in data centers and enterprise networks where space is at a premium and high-speed connectivity is paramount. Its SR4 configuration supports parallel optics, enabling efficient data transmission over short distances.

Compatibility

This cable assembly is engineered for compatibility with SR4 optical transceivers (QSFP+, QSFP28) and high-density patch panels supporting MPO connectors. It is suitable for use with equipment from major network vendors that utilize MPO SR4 interfaces for 40GbE and 100GbE (4x25G breakout) deployments. Ensure your transceivers and patch panels are rated for multimode fiber and support the SR4 standard.

Installation Notes

Proper handling is essential to maintain fiber integrity. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 10mm for multimode fiber) to prevent signal loss or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating. The push-pull tab on the MPO connector facilitates secure and easy insertion/removal.
