Panduit FFDPZF012F OM4 Bulk Cable
Overview
The Panduit FFDPZF012F is a 12-fiber OM4 bulk indoor cable designed for high-density, high-speed backbone applications within enterprise and data center environments. Its plenum-rated OFNP jacket ensures compliance with stringent fire safety codes for installation in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for vertical or horizontal runs where air circulation is present. The Aqua jacket clearly identifies it as OM4 fiber, crucial for preventing mix-ups in complex structured cabling systems.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with standard fiber optic connectors and termination kits compatible with 50-micron OM4 multimode fiber. It integrates into any fiber optic systems infrastructure supporting high-bandwidth applications such as 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other data-intensive protocols. Ensure your transceivers, patch panels, and network switches are rated for OM4 fiber to achieve maximum performance.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 50-micron fiber diameter and is rated OFNP (Plenum), requiring installation in air-handling spaces per local codes. The flat ribbon cable design aids in managing density within conduits and pathways. Minimum bend radius for installation should be observed to prevent fiber damage and signal loss; consult Panduit's installation guidelines for specific bend radius requirements for OM4 fiber.
