Panduit FRZTP77Y001M004 12-Fiber OM4 Plenum-Rated Pre-Terminated Cable
The Panduit FRZTP77Y001M004 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM4 multimode trunk cable engineered for high-speed datacenter and telecommunications backbone installations where rapid deployment and zero field-termination labor matter. This 4-meter (13.1-foot) plenum-rated assembly delivers 50/125µm OM4 fiber performance with polarity management built in, eliminating on-site fusion splicing and the associated downtime, skill requirements, and QA variability. Designed for inter-rack, intra-row, and entrance-facility links in mission-critical environments, it ships ready to install with factory-tested insertion loss and guaranteed performance to TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards.
Key Features
- 12-fiber OM4 multimode (50/125µm) trunk — supports 40G/100G Ethernet at extended distances
- Plenum-rated OFNP jacket — UL 910 / NFPA 262 compliant for air-handling spaces without conduit
- Factory pre-terminated with polarity management — zero field labor, consistent insertion loss
- 4-meter optimized length — purpose-built for adjacent-rack and intra-row datacenter links
- TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B certified — meets global datacenter infrastructure standards
- Panduit Opti-Core® construction — low-loss connectors, bend-insensitive fiber, ruggedized boot design
Pre-Terminated Trunk Architecture: Field termination of 12-fiber trunks introduces three failure modes — inconsistent cleave angles, contamination during polish, and polarity errors across A/B cassette mapping. This assembly eliminates all three. Each fiber is factory-terminated, inspected under interferometry, and polarity-verified to the TIA-568 pinout standard your patch panels expect. Plug it in, verify link light, done. The 4-meter length targets same-row datacenter deployments — backbone switch to distribution switch, SAN head unit to edge array, or entrance facility demarc to MDF cross-connect. At OM4 spec, you get 150 meters of 40GBASE-SR4 reach or 100 meters of 100GBASE-SR4, meaning this cable operates far below attenuation limits and leaves margin for future 400G optics using PAM4 encoding.
Plenum Rating and Code Compliance: The OFNP jacket meets UL 910 Steiner Tunnel and NFPA 262 flame/smoke requirements, clearing it for installation in return-air plenums, suspended ceilings, and HVAC pathways without metallic conduit. Most datacenter overhead runs and under-floor hot-aisle feeds require plenum rating per NEC Article 770 and local AHJ interpretation of IBC Chapter 8. Non-plenum cable in these spaces fails inspection and triggers costly rip-and-replace. This assembly also meets low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) derivative specs when specified, reducing toxic gas emission during fire events — a requirement in occupied telecom rooms and international installations under IEC 60332-3 Category C.
OM4 Multimode Performance: OM4 fiber delivers 4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850nm, enabling 10G links to 550 meters and 40G/100G links beyond 100 meters using cost-effective VCSEL transceivers. Compared to OM3 (2000 MHz·km), OM4 doubles your reach on 40G and provides the margin needed for lossy MTP-to-LC breakout cassettes or dirty mating planes without dropping link. The 50µm core diameter maintains compatibility with legacy OM1/OM2 infrastructure while supporting next-generation 200G-SR4 and 400G-SR8 optics as you scale. Panduit's bend-insensitive fiber construction tolerates 7.5mm radius bends without macrobending loss — critical in high-density overhead cable trays and zero-U patch panel routing.
Panduit FRZTP77Y001M004 is tested to TIA-568.3-D insertion loss limits (< 0.75 dB per mated connector pair), serialized for traceability, and backed by Panduit's commercial warranty. Ideal for rapid datacenter builds, telecommunications room upgrades, and enterprise backbone modernization where install speed, code compliance, and day-one link reliability are non-negotiable.
