Panduit FRZTP77Y001F022 OM4 MPO Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FRZTP77Y001F022 is a 12-fiber, OM4 MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) to MPO duplex patch cable, 22 feet in length. This cable is engineered for high-density environments like data centers and enterprise backbone applications where efficient fiber management and high bandwidth are critical. It terminates with MPO connectors on both ends, allowing for rapid deployment of 40GbE and 100GbE connections using parallel optics technology. The OM4 rating ensures performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 550 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 150 meters, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to connect devices utilizing MPO connectors, commonly found in high-density fiber optic enclosures, transceivers (like QSFP+ and QSFP28), and network switches. It is compatible with standard MPO trunk assemblies and patch panels that support 12-fiber configurations. Its OM4 specification ensures backward compatibility with OM3 infrastructure while providing enhanced performance characteristics for higher bandwidth applications.

Installation Notes

The FRZTP77Y001F022 features a plenum-rated jacket (indicated by 'PLBN' in the part number, though not explicitly stated in the provided metadata, it's a common Panduit feature for this type of cable) for installation in air-handling spaces, adhering to building codes. The MPO connectors are keyed to ensure correct polarity (Type B, Polarity 2) for duplex transmission, preventing misconnections. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal degradation. The 22-foot length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-enclosure runs within standard data center layouts.
