Panduit OM4 12-FI P PANMPO MA-MA POLB O IL 36FT PK1 - FRZTP88Y001F036

Panduit FRZTP88Y001F036 OM4 12-Fiber MPO Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FRZTP88Y001F036 is a 36-foot, OM4, 12-fiber MPO to MPO patch cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications. This cable utilizes a POLB (Polarity B) configuration, essential for ensuring correct signal transmission in duplex MPO systems. Its OM4 rating supports 40GbE and 100GbE applications, providing the bandwidth required for modern high-speed networking infrastructure. The cable is factory-terminated and tested, minimizing installation time and potential errors in critical network deployments.

Compatibility

This FRZTP88Y001F036 cable is compatible with standard MPO/MTP trunk assemblies and equipment ports that require OM4 fiber performance. It is designed for use with transceivers and patch panels supporting 12-fiber MPO connections, including those found in high-density switch-to-switch or switch-to-server configurations. Specific compatibility includes Panduit's QuickNet™ MPO/MTP systems and other industry-standard MPO/MTP interfaces requiring Polarity B configurations for applications such as 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and 400GBASE-SR16.

Installation Notes

The cable features a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, suitable for plenum spaces where fire safety is a concern. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to avoid signal degradation; Panduit recommends a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) for OM4 fiber. The MPO connectors are keyed, and care must be taken to align the key correctly during mating to prevent damage and ensure proper polarity. Avoid excessive pulling force on the cable during installation.
