Panduit FRXTP77Y001F022 OM3 12-Fiber Plenum Trunk Cable

The Panduit FRXTP77Y001F022 Opti-Core® trunk cable delivers pre-terminated 12-fiber OM3 connectivity in a 22-foot plenum-rated assembly engineered for high-density datacenter and enterprise surveillance backbone installations. Factory-terminated MTP/MPO connectors eliminate field termination labor and variability, while OM3 50/125µm multimode fiber supports 10GbE to 300 meters and 40/100GbE to 100 meters—sufficient headroom for IP camera aggregation switches, NVR uplinks, and converged building networks. Plenum OFNP jacket meets NEC Article 770 for air-handling space installation without conduit, critical for ceiling-mounted camera infrastructure and IDF-to-MDF backbone runs in commercial facilities.

Key Features

• Factory-terminated MTP/MPO connectors with insertion loss <0.35 dB per IEC 61753-1—eliminates field splicing and speeds deployment
• OM3 50/125µm laser-optimized multimode fiber rated for 10GBASE-SR to 300m and 40GBASE-SR4 to 100m per TIA-568.3-D
• Plenum OFNP jacket rated for air-handling spaces per NEC 770.113(A)—no conduit required in drop ceilings or raised floors
• 12-fiber count matches standard MTP cassette breakout modules for 12-port LC adapter panels in security camera aggregation racks
• Aqua jacket color per TIA-598-D identifies OM3 grade at a glance during installation and troubleshooting
• 22-foot length suits typical IDF-to-equipment distances in telecom rooms and surveillance headend racks

Pre-terminated trunk cables solve the reliability and speed problem inherent in field fiber termination. A single bad field splice in a 12-strand bundle can idle an entire camera zone during cutover; Panduit factory termination delivers <0.35 dB insertion loss per connector with <0.25 dB variation across all twelve fibers, tested at 850nm and 1300nm. The MTP interface provides polarity management through keyed connectors—Method B polarity ships standard, compatible with Panduit and third-party cassette modules. For integrators running surveillance aggregation switches in telecommunications rooms or datacenter white space, the plenum jacket eliminates the need for costly EMT conduit above drop ceilings. OFNP compounds meet UL 910 flame propagation limits and generate low smoke during fire conditions, satisfying AHJ requirements in occupied buildings.

OM3 multimode fiber is the minimum viable grade for modern IP camera networks. While OM2 50/125µm fiber theoretically supports 1GbE camera uplinks, its 10GbE reach is limited to 33 meters—insufficient for building-scale aggregation. OM3 extends 10GBASE-SR to 300 meters, covering typical floor-to-floor IDF vertical runs and horizontal distribution to edge closets. For facilities planning 25GbE or 40GbE core switches to handle high-channel-count NVR arrays or 4K/8MP camera aggregation, OM3 provides forward compatibility to 100 meters at those speeds. The 22-foot assembly length maps to standard rack-to-rack distances in telecommunications rooms: 19-inch relay rack to wall-mounted fiber enclosure, or adjacent server cabinet rows in datacenter hot-aisle layouts. Integrators can cross-connect this trunk to LC duplex patch cables via Panduit FAP cassette modules, breaking out the 12-fiber MTP into six duplex LC ports for individual switch uplinks.

Compliant with TIA-568.3-D structured cabling standards, ISO/IEC 11801 international fiber specifications, and ANSI/TIA-942-B datacenter infrastructure requirements. The aqua jacket meets TIA-598-D color coding for immediate OM3 identification during adds/moves/changes. Panduit Opti-Core® pre-terminated systems are the field-proven choice when installation speed, certified performance, and plenum compliance converge—eliminating the three failure modes that strand surveillance projects during final cutover.
