Panduit FRZTL77Y001M005 OM4 12-Fiber MPO LSZH Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit FRZTL77Y001M005 is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) OM4 12-fiber Opti-Core® patch cable designed for high-density fiber infrastructure. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for environments with strict flammability regulations, such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. This pre-terminated cable enables rapid deployment of high-speed optical links where MPO connectivity is required.
Compatibility
This cable utilizes MPO female connectors on both ends, compatible with MPO male ports found on transceivers, patch panels, and other fiber optic equipment supporting OM4 multimode fiber. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network hardware in enterprise and carrier environments.
Installation Notes
The LSZH jacket offers reduced smoke and halogen emissions during a fire, a critical safety consideration in enclosed spaces like data centers. The 50/125µm OM4 fiber supports higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to OM3, enabling 40GbE and 100GbE applications over shorter distances. Ensure proper cable management to avoid sharp bends that could exceed the fiber's bend radius, impacting performance.
