Panduit FRXTP77Y001F019 OM3 12-Fiber Plenum Trunk 19ft

Panduit FRXTP77Y001F019 OM3 12-Fiber Plenum Trunk Cable

The Panduit FRXTP77Y001F019 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM3 multimode trunk cable designed for high-speed backbone connections in commercial surveillance, data center, and telecommunications infrastructure. This 19-foot plenum-rated (OFNP) assembly delivers 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet performance over 50/125µm OM3 fiber with fully tested MTP/MPO connectors on both ends, eliminating field termination labor and ensuring day-one link certification. Integrators deploying IP camera networks across multiple floors, connecting remote switch closets, or building out enterprise surveillance backbones rely on pre-terminated trunks like this to cut installation time by 70% while meeting strict fire-safety and performance standards.

Key Features

• 12-fiber OM3 multimode (50/125µm) supports 10GBASE-SR up to 300m, 40GBASE-SR4 up to 100m, and 100GBASE-SR10 applications
• Factory-terminated MTP/MPO connectors with insertion-loss testing and report—no field polishing or epoxy required
• Plenum-rated OFNP jacket for installation in air-handling spaces, drop ceilings, and above-floor pathways without conduit
• 19-foot (5.8m) length ideal for rack-to-rack, floor-to-ceiling, or cross-aisle connections in telecom rooms and equipment distribution areas
• Aqua jacket color-coded to OM3 standard (TIA-598-C) for instant fiber-type identification during moves, adds, and changes
• Opti-Core construction with low-smoke, zero-halogen materials for fire safety and reduced toxic-gas emission
• TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B certified for structured cabling and data-center tier compliance
• Fanout legs labeled 1-12 for pair-wise troubleshooting and breakout-to-duplex LC patching

OM3 multimode fiber delivers the bandwidth surveillance and IT networks demand without the cost premium of singlemode infrastructure. Each of the 12 fibers in this trunk supports 10 Gb/s over 300 meters—enough to connect an IP camera aggregation switch on the third floor to a core switch in the basement server room with margin to spare. The factory-installed MTP connectors use a 12-fiber ribbon interface that mates with MTP-to-LC breakout cassettes, enabling integrators to convert a single trunk into six duplex LC ports at each end for switch uplinks or NVR connectivity. This architecture is standard in enterprise surveillance builds where dozens of PoE cameras feed into aggregation switches, which then backhaul to a centralized recording platform over high-speed fiber. The plenum jacket is engineered for low flame-spread and smoke generation, meeting NEC Article 770 requirements for installation above suspended ceilings and in HVAC plenums—spaces where PVC-jacketed cable is prohibited. Integrators working in hospitals, airports, office towers, and government facilities face strict AHJ inspection; plenum rating is non-negotiable, and field-terminated fiber in these environments invites delays and re-work if insertion loss exceeds 0.75 dB per connection.

Pre-terminated trunks eliminate the three costliest variables in fiber projects: technician skill, on-site cleanliness, and rework. A field-terminated 12-fiber backbone typically requires two hours of labor—stripping, cleaving, epoxy or mechanical splice, polishing, and OTDR testing per connector. This Panduit trunk arrives with insertion loss already verified at the factory and documented in a test report, so the day-one installation is plug-and-play: pull the cable, dress it into the ladder rack, mate the connectors, and confirm link light. The 19-foot length is a common drop-ceiling-to-rack or raised-floor vertical, and the fanout legs are labeled for quick breakout identification when patching into LC duplex modules. In a typical metro-Ethernet or IP surveillance backbone, you'll pair this trunk with Panduit FAP or FMP cassettes that convert the 12-fiber MTP interface into six duplex LC ports—one trunk becomes six 10 Gb uplinks, reducing cable density in the pathway by 80% and simplifying MAC-layer troubleshooting. OM3 is the Goldilocks choice for most commercial surveillance: it costs half what OM4 costs, supports 10 Gb/s over realistic building distances (up to 300m), and future-proofs the infrastructure for 40 Gb uplinks if NVR throughput demands scale. Singlemode would offer unlimited distance but requires expensive optics and is overkill for intra-building links under 500 meters. OM3 hits the commercial sweet spot—proven, economical, and fully TIA-compliant for structured cabling warranty programs.

This trunk meets TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 optical-fiber standards, meaning it's tested to the same performance thresholds as enterprise data-center infrastructure and qualifies for 25-year extended warranties when installed per manufacturer guidelines. The ANSI/TIA-942-B certification is specifically for data-center telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring the cable supports the redundancy, labeling, and performance tiers required in mission-critical server environments—standards that increasingly apply to large-scale surveillance recording clusters. The Opti-Core sub-brand is Panduit's premium tier for pre-terminated assemblies, incorporating low-insertion-loss MPO connectors (≤0.35 dB typical), tight bend-radius protection, and pull-tested strain relief rated to 100 lbf. For integrators managing multi-building campuses, high-rise office towers, or data-center collocation builds, factory-terminated trunks deliver the labor savings and day-one link confidence that let you move faster, bid tighter, and walk away knowing the fiber backbone won't be the reason for a service call six months later.
