Panduit FHC3ZA-08H-10U2 OM4 HD FLEX CST 8F 4-PORT MPO Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FHC3ZA-08H-10U2 is an 8-fiber, 4-port MPO cassette designed for high-density fiber optic deployments within enterprise networks and data centers. It enables efficient management of fiber connections, reducing cable clutter and simplifying MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes). This cassette leverages OM4 multimode fiber, providing enhanced bandwidth and performance for 10/40/100 GbE applications over shorter distances compared to OM3. Its HD FLEX design allows for a compact footprint, maximizing port density in rack environments.

Compatibility

This MPO cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's HD FLEX fiber optic enclosures and patch panels. It is compatible with standard MPO trunk cables and breakout cables, supporting high-speed networking equipment requiring MPO connectivity. Specifically, it fits into Panduit's QuickNet™ MPO/MTP® Cassette System, enabling seamless integration with existing Panduit fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cassette is securely latched into the compatible Panduit HD FLEX enclosure or panel. Handle MPO connectors with care to avoid contamination or damage to the fiber end-face. Clean MPO connectors prior to insertion using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools. The cassette's push-pull latching mechanism simplifies installation and removal.
