Panduit FHC3ZA-24H-10B OM4 HD 4:1 Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FHC3ZA-24H-10B is an OM4 High-Density (HD) fiber optic cassette featuring a 4:1 split and an 8-fiber MPO connector. This component is engineered for high-density patching environments, enabling efficient management of fiber optic cabling infrastructure within data centers and enterprise networks. Its design facilitates simplified transitions from trunk cables to patch cords, reducing complexity and potential points of failure in high-bandwidth applications. The FHC3ZA-24H-10B model is specifically built for scenarios requiring a 4:1 fiber breakout, commonly seen in structured cabling systems where server or switch ports need to connect to a higher density of fiber strands.

Compatibility

This cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's HD Pan-Type fiber optic enclosures and patch panels. It is compatible with MPO trunk cables and standard LC duplex patch cords. Specific compatibility extends to Panduit's Pan-Type HD enclosures, including but not limited to the FCE series, ensuring a seamless fit within existing Panduit structured cabling deployments. It is not designed for use with third-party enclosure systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard fiber optic handling practices. Ensure the cassette is correctly oriented before insertion into the compatible Panduit HD enclosure. The MPO connector should be cleaned prior to mating to prevent signal degradation. The 4:1 split configuration requires careful planning of the downstream fiber connections to match the intended port density.
