Panduit FYXUP77Y001F024 OM3 Multimode Pre-Terminated Fiber Trunk Assembly
Overview
The Panduit FYXUP77Y001F024 is a 24-foot (7.3m) QuickNet™ HD Flex pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber trunk assembly engineered for rapid, reliable deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. Where field-terminated fiber introduces variables — inconsistent polish quality, contamination risk, lengthy installation windows — this factory-terminated assembly eliminates those variables entirely. Every connector leaves the factory tested and verified, so your team plugs in and moves on rather than splicing, polishing, and troubleshooting on-site. For fiber optic cable assemblies where speed of deployment and consistency across multiple runs both matter, this is the format to evaluate.
Key Features
- OM3 Multimode Fiber (50/125µm): OM3 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 300 meters and 40/100GbE at shorter reaches — well-suited for intra-rack, inter-rack, and MDA-to-EDA horizontal runs within a data center floor. At 24 feet (7.3m), this assembly is sized for bay-to-bay or cabinet-to-patch-panel connections where OM4 would be over-engineered and single-mode unnecessary.
- Pre-Terminated Factory Assembly: Field termination of fiber is the leading source of insertion-loss variation in structured cabling infrastructure. Factory pre-termination under controlled conditions produces consistent, certified connection performance — removing the dependency on technician skill level and field cleanliness. Your install team connects rather than terminates, cutting labor hours on high-density deployments.
- QuickNet™ HD Flex Platform: The QuickNet HD Flex sub-brand designation indicates this assembly is part of Panduit's high-density, flexible-deployment Panduit structured cabling system. HD Flex trunks are designed for bend-radius management in congested pathways — relevant in raised-floor environments and overhead cable trays where rigid assemblies cause routing problems.
- 24-foot (7.3m) Length: This length targets the most common intra-room horizontal run: patch panel to active equipment in adjacent or nearby cabinets, or MDA-to-EDA links in a contained equipment row. At 7.3 meters, there's enough slack for clean dressing without excess cable management burden — a practical middle ground for most structured cabling layouts.
- TIA-568.3-D / ISO/IEC 11801 / ANSI/TIA-942-B Compliance: Meeting all three standards simultaneously matters for enterprise and colocation environments where the physical layer must pass third-party audits. TIA-942-B is specifically the data center standard — compliance here means the assembly qualifies for Tier-rated data center infrastructure documentation. Skipping compliant assemblies in audited facilities creates punch-list items at acceptance testing.
- Rapid Deployment for Pre-Terminated Infrastructure: In time-sensitive cutovers, data center builds, or swing-space provisioning, the ability to install tested, verified fiber runs in minutes rather than hours per link directly compresses project schedules. Pre-terminated infrastructure is a standard approach in enterprise data center construction for this reason.
Integration and Compatibility
The FYXUP77Y001F024 is designed to integrate within the broader QuickNet HD Flex ecosystem of structured cabling components, including Panduit's HD Flex cassettes, panels, and enclosures. OM3 multimode is compatible with 850nm VCSEL-based transceivers used in 10GbE (SFP+), 40GbE (QSFP+), and 100GbE (QSFP28) active equipment. Verify connector type compatibility with your specific cassette or panel interface before ordering — the short description references an inline connector format (IL/ENDA designations), which indicates an internal plug-and-play interface specific to the QuickNet panel ecosystem. This assembly is not a generic LC-to-LC patch cord; it is a system component intended for use within the Panduit QuickNet infrastructure architecture. For complementary patch panels and enclosures that accept QuickNet HD Flex trunks, confirm module-slot compatibility with the target panel model before procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fiber type does the FYXUP77Y001F024 use, and what speeds does it support?
A: This assembly uses OM3 multimode fiber (50/125µm), which supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 300 meters and 40/100GbE at shorter reaches. At 24 feet (7.3m), it is well within the performance envelope for all current multimode Ethernet speeds.
Q: Is the FYXUP77Y001F024 compatible with standard LC patch panels?
A: The FYXUP77Y001F024 uses a QuickNet HD Flex inline connector interface (IL/ENDA designation), which is a system-specific plug-and-play termination designed for Panduit QuickNet HD Flex cassettes and panels — not a standard field-terminable LC pigtail. Verify the target panel or enclosure accepts QuickNet HD Flex trunk modules before purchasing.
Q: What standards does the FYXUP77Y001F024 meet?
A: The assembly meets TIA-568.3-D (optical fiber cabling), ISO/IEC 11801 (international generic cabling), and ANSI/TIA-942-B (data center infrastructure standard). These three together cover the most common enterprise and data center audit and acceptance requirements.
Q: Can this assembly be used in a Tier-rated data center?
A: ANSI/TIA-942-B compliance means this assembly qualifies for documentation in Tier-rated data center physical layer audits. Whether it meets a specific Tier rating in your facility depends on the overall infrastructure design, not the assembly alone.
Q: What is the overall length of the FYXUP77Y001F024?
A: The overall length is 24 feet (7.3 meters), sized for intra-room horizontal runs such as patch panel to active equipment in adjacent cabinets or MDA-to-EDA links within a contained equipment row.
The FYXUP77Y001F024 sits in a specific procurement niche: you need a QuickNet HD Flex trunk for a 24-foot (7.3m) run, you're building or expanding within an ANSI/TIA-942-B-documented data center, and field termination is off the table because your project schedule or quality standards don't allow for per-link insertion-loss variability. The OM3 50/125µm fiber here is appropriate for 10GbE and 40/100GbE runs at this distance — OM4 would buy you headroom you won't use at 7.3 meters.
Technical Highlights:
- OM3 Multimode (50/125µm): Rated for 10GbE to 300m and 40/100GbE at shorter distances — at 7.3 meters, this assembly has no practical bandwidth ceiling with current generation VCSEL transceivers.
- TIA-568.3-D / TIA-942-B Compliance: Both standards are on the conformance list, which means the assembly supports data center acceptance documentation without needing a supplemental test report from the field crew.
- QuickNet HD Flex Platform: The HD Flex system is designed for high-density routing in congested pathways — the flexible construction is a real advantage in overhead trays and below-floor environments where rigid trunks create bend-radius violations.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is a system component, not a standalone patch cord — it requires compatible Panduit QuickNet HD Flex cassettes or panels at both ends. Confirm panel model compatibility before procurement; the IL/ENDA connector interface is not field-interchangeable with standard LC hardware.
- At a 24-foot fixed length, measure your actual run with slack included before ordering. Pre-terminated assemblies cannot be re-cut on site; ordering the wrong length means a reorder delay.
The FYXUP77Y001F024 is the right specification for structured cabling installers provisioning new equipment rows in enterprise data centers or colocation cages where QuickNet HD Flex infrastructure is already established — particularly in environments undergoing TIA-942-B audit or where the physical layer documentation needs to be watertight at sign-off.
