Panduit FOWNX24 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FOWNX24 is an OM3, 24-fiber, armored fiber optic cable designed for direct-to-device connections in industrial and outdoor surveillance deployments. Its rugged construction protects against environmental factors and physical damage, ensuring reliable data transmission for critical infrastructure. This cable is factory-terminated, streamlining installation and reducing on-site termination complexity for the FOWNX24 model.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for direct connection to network devices equipped with standard LC duplex connectors. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, media converters, and IP cameras that utilize OM3 fiber specifications. Specific compatibility extends to devices requiring 24-fiber MPO/MTP trunking solutions when used with appropriate breakout assemblies.

Installation Notes

The armored construction of the FOWNX24 requires attention to bend radius during installation to prevent signal degradation. Minimum bend radius is 20mm when unarmored and 50mm when armored. Ensure connectors are kept clean and protected from dust and moisture during the installation process. The cable is rated for outdoor use, but direct burial requires additional conduit protection.
