Panduit OM4 8F 4:1 CONV LSZH MPO-M TO L - FZ8RL8NQSVNM006

Panduit FZ8RL8NQSVNM006 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FZ8RL8NQSVNM006 is an OM4, 8-fiber MPO-to-LC conversion cable designed for high-density network environments. This cable facilitates the transition from a multi-fiber MPO connector, common in trunking applications, to four duplex LC connectors, enabling connection to standard network equipment like switches and servers. Its 4:1 breakout configuration (one MPO to four LC duplex pairs) is critical for efficient use of fiber ports in data centers and enterprise backbone infrastructure. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material enhances safety in plenum spaces by minimizing smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire, making the FZ8RL8NQSVNM006 suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard OM4 fiber optic infrastructure. It is compatible with network switches, transceivers, and patch panels that utilize MPO (12-fiber, keyed for 8-fiber breakout) and LC duplex connectors. Specifically, it supports connections to equipment requiring an 8-fiber MPO interface on one end and four independent LC duplex connections on the other. It is suitable for 40GbE (QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+) and 100GbE (QSFP28 to 4x25GbE SFP28) applications where a breakout configuration is needed.

Installation Notes

When installing the FZ8RL8NQSVNM006, ensure the MPO connector is properly keyed (typically Type A or Type B depending on the equipment) and oriented correctly to avoid damage. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 30mm for OM4 LSZH) to maintain signal integrity. The LSZH jacket offers improved fire safety but may be less flexible than standard PVC jackets in extreme cold temperatures.
