Panduit FZTRP8NUHSNF073 OM4 12-F PLENUM PANMPO-M TO LC Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FZTRP8NUHSNF073 is a 12-fiber, OM4-rated, plenum-jacketed fiber optic cable assembly designed to connect MPO/MTP trunk infrastructure to LC-terminated equipment. This assembly is critical for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications where reliable, high-bandwidth transmission is paramount. Its plenum rating ensures compliance with building codes for installation in air-handling spaces, mitigating fire risk. The FZTRP8NUHSNF073 model specifically provides a clean transition from a 12-fiber MPO/MTP connector to 12 individual LC connectors, simplifying patch panel and equipment port management.

Compatibility

This cable assembly is compatible with any standard MPO/MTP 12-fiber female-to-female (or male-to-female with adapter) trunk cables and standard LC duplex or simplex connectors. It is designed for use in high-density fiber optic patching systems, including those found in enterprise data centers, telecommunication rooms, and campus backbones supporting 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications. It integrates seamlessly with Panduit's fiber optic enclosures and patch panels, as well as third-party equipment utilizing MPO and LC interfaces.

Installation Notes

The plenum-rated jacket requires careful handling to avoid damage during installation. Ensure bend radius limits are observed to maintain signal integrity; a minimum bend radius of 20mm (0.79 in) is recommended for OM4 fiber. The MPO/MTP connector is keyed and should be aligned correctly before insertion to prevent pin damage. Clean all fiber optic connectors (MPO/MTP and LC) with appropriate cleaning tools before mating to prevent signal degradation and ensure optimal performance.
