Panduit FRZ8PYYL011M017 OM4 8-Fiber MPO Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FRZ8PYYL011M017 is a 17-meter (55.8 ft) OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features an MPO Female connector on one end and is designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments where rapid pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for deployment. This cable supports applications requiring robust, high-bandwidth connectivity between network devices.

Compatibility

This cable is intended for use with Panduit Opti-Core® fiber optic systems and other infrastructure components that accept MPO Female connectors. It is designed to meet TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within compliant network architectures. Use this cable to connect transceivers, patch panels, and equipment racks in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper connector mating to avoid damage. The MPO connector requires careful alignment. The OM4 fiber type supports higher bandwidth over distance compared to OM3, making it suitable for 40GbE and 100GbE applications. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on the MPO connector minimizes back reflection, which is crucial for sensitive optical signals.
