Panduit FXTRL8NQSONM005 OM3 12F RND HARN LSZH MPO-M

Overview

The Panduit FXTRL8NQSONM005 is a 12-fiber OM3 MPO harness cable designed for high-density fiber optic deployments. It features a round, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, making it suitable for environments where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical. This cable terminates in an MPO connector on one end and breaks out into individual fibers (or smaller connector types, depending on the specific harness configuration, though this model specifies MPO-M indicating MPO on both ends or a specific MPO configuration) on the other, facilitating connections within patch panels, transceivers, and other network equipment. Its 50-micron core diameter OM3 rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, balancing bandwidth and distance for enterprise backbones and data center interconnects.

Compatibility

This Panduit harness cable is designed for use with standard MPO/MTP connectivity infrastructure. It is compatible with OM3-rated fiber optic transceivers (e.g., SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28) and patch panels requiring MPO connectivity. Ensure that connected equipment also supports OM3 fiber specifications for optimal performance. It is intended for use within Panduit's structured cabling systems and other compatible enterprise or data center network architectures.

Installation Notes

When installing the FXTRL8NQSONM005, maintain a minimum bend radius of 1 inch (25mm) for the round cable to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends or kinks. The MPO connector requires careful alignment using the guide pins to ensure proper mating. For harness breakout sections, handle individual fibers with care to avoid damage. Ensure the LSZH jacket is properly terminated and secured according to installation best practices for low-smoke environments.
