Panduit FRXTP77Y001F030 OM3 12-Fiber PanMPO™-12 Trunk Cable Assembly

The Panduit FRXTP77Y001F030 is a 30-foot plenum-rated fiber trunk cable designed for high-density 10GBASE-SR backbone deployments in commercial data centers, enterprise server rooms, and structured cabling installations. This 12-fiber OM3 assembly terminates with PanMPO™-12 female connectors on both ends, delivering plug-and-play connectivity between MTP/MPO-compatible patch panels, switches, and breakout modules. Aqua jacket color-coding simplifies fiber-type identification during moves, adds, and changes. Plenum OFNP rating meets strict fire-safety requirements for air-handling spaces, eliminating the need for conduit in many installs and reducing labor costs on ceiling-grid runs.

Key Features

• PanMPO™-12 female to PanMPO™-12 female connectors for direct MTP/MPO trunk interconnects without adapters
• 12-fiber OM3 multimode construction supports 10GBASE-SR up to 300 meters and 40GBASE-SR4 up to 100 meters per IEEE 802.3
• 30-foot (9.14m) assembly length ideal for cross-connect and IDF-to-MDF backbone runs in mid-sized facilities
• Plenum OFNP flammability rating for unrestricted installation in ceiling plenums and air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770
• Aqua jacket color per TIA-598-C standard for instant OM3 fiber-type recognition during troubleshooting and audits
• Factory-terminated and tested assembly eliminates field termination errors, reduces install time, and ensures insertion loss consistency
• Pan-Net® sub-brand heritage delivers Panduit's proven connector geometry and insertion-loss performance for mission-critical links
• ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA-568-C.3 compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-based MPO infrastructure from any vendor

This trunk cable solves the reach and density challenges integrators face when migrating legacy Cat6 backbones to 10G fiber. The PanMPO™-12 connector consolidates twelve fibers into a single interface roughly the size of an RJ45 jack, enabling 1U patch panels to support 144+ fiber terminations where copper panels max out at 48 ports. Female-to-female polarity supports Method B (straight-through) trunk configurations when paired with Method A (key-up to key-down) adapter modules at the equipment end, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive fiber mapping on duplex breakout legs without custom polarity documentation. The 30-foot length is the Goldilocks size for cross-connect applications — long enough to route from a wall-mounted panel to a floor-standing rack with service loop, short enough to avoid excess cable congestion in overhead pathways. Installers save 15-20 minutes per trunk vs. field-terminated MPO assemblies, and factory testing guarantees ≤0.35dB insertion loss per mated connection pair, preventing the margin erosion that kills 10G links on marginal hand-polished terminations.

Plenum OFNP jacket construction is the deployment enabler for ceiling-grid backbone runs. National Electrical Code Article 770 mandates plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces unless the cable is enclosed in metal conduit or EMT — a costly requirement that doubles labor and materials on horizontal pathways. This assembly's OFNP rating eliminates that burden, allowing direct J-hook or cable-tray installation above drop ceilings without fireproofing enclosures. The aqua jacket is more than cosmetic: TIA-598-C assigns aqua to OM3 50/125µm laser-optimized multimode fiber, the minimum grade for 10GBASE-SR Ethernet. When your fiber plant includes OM1 (orange), OM2 (orange), OM3 (aqua), OM4 (aqua/magenta), and OS2 singlemode (yellow), instant visual differentiation prevents the $5,000 service-call mistake of patching a 10G SFP+ into an OM1 link that tops out at 1G. Carton quantity of ten assemblies aligns with typical switch-to-panel fanout requirements — one 12-port MPO panel feeds six duplex LC breakout ports, and a 48-port switch deployment consumes eight trunks, so a single carton covers most IDF builds with spares.

Compliance with TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) connector geometry standards ensures this Panduit trunk mates reliably with Corning, CommScope, Leviton, and Belden MPO infrastructure without adapter-induced loss penalties or keying incompatibilities. RoHS material compliance clears procurement requirements for federal and municipal projects, and the Pan-Net® sub-brand designation identifies this as part of Panduit's structured cabling ecosystem, not a generic white-label assembly. For AV integrators running Dante, NDI, or SDVoE over 10G multimode links, or security VARs designing NVR-to-core-switch uplinks in hospitality or MDU surveillance deployments, this factory-terminated trunk delivers the performance headroom and install speed that keeps fiber projects on schedule and within budget.
