Panduit FWTYL7575KAM061 QuickNet™ OM5 12-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWTYL7575KAM061 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center backbone installations where rack space, deployment speed, and future bandwidth scalability are critical. This 200-foot (61-meter) LSZH-rated trunk delivers extended reach between distribution frames, zone boxes, or enclosures while occupying 30 to 40 percent less pathway volume than conventional multi-fiber designs. OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications over extended distances, making this assembly a future-ready choice for IT/datacenter integrators planning for 40G/100G migration without rip-and-replace infrastructure overhauls. The lime jacket color simplifies fiber type identification during moves, adds, and changes in mixed-generation deployments.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports SWDM technology for 40G/100G Ethernet over 150m, doubling the effective reach of OM4 on 100GBASE-SR4
- 12-fiber count in small-diameter trunk design saves 30-40% pathway and cabinet space compared to traditional bundled assemblies
- 200-foot (61-meter) factory-terminated length spans typical backbone distances between distribution areas, zone enclosures, or inter-floor pathways without mid-span splicing
- LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket meets IEC 60332-1 and 60754 flammability and toxicity requirements for occupied spaces and under-floor plenum alternatives
- QuickNet™ pre-terminated design eliminates field termination labor, fusion splicing, and post-install testing—plug-and-play deployment cuts installation time by 70% vs. field-terminated trunks
- 50µm core diameter (OM5 standard) maintains backward compatibility with OM3/OM4 infrastructure while enabling SWDM wavelength reuse on the same fiber pair
- Lime cable jacket provides rapid visual identification of OM5 fiber type per TIA-598-D color code, reducing mis-patching risk in multi-tier fiber plants
- Factory-tested insertion loss and return loss performance meets TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 Ed. 2.2 channel requirements before shipment
- Individual fiber pairs terminated to industry-standard LC duplex or MPO/MTP® connectors (verify configuration at time of order) for compatibility with enterprise switch modules and media converters
- RoHS compliant construction for integration into green building and LEED-certified datacenter projects
OM5 fiber represents the latest evolution in multimode technology, optimized for short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) transmission schemes that simultaneously launch four 25G wavelengths (850nm, 880nm, 910nm, 940nm) over a single fiber pair. This quadruples effective bandwidth without requiring additional fiber strands, making the FWTYL7575KAM061 trunk a strategic investment for facilities planning 100G spine-leaf architectures or disaggregated storage fabrics. The 12-fiber count supports six duplex links or one 12-fiber MPO backbone, fitting typical top-of-rack to end-of-row aggregation scenarios in structured cabling designs. At 200 feet, this assembly spans the distances found in raised-floor datacenters with perimeter distribution frames, intermediate cross-connects in telecom rooms, or vertical riser pathways between equipment floors in multi-story colocation facilities. The small-diameter trunk construction uses tightly buffered fibers and a reduced-OD jacket that maintain 2.0mm bend radius compliance while threading through congested overhead cable trays, under-floor grids, or vertical J-hooks without the stiffness and fill ratio penalties of older loose-tube trunk designs. For integrators managing pathways at 60-70% fill capacity, the 30-40% space reclamation directly translates to headroom for future circuits without costly pathway expansions or re-routing.
The QuickNet pre-terminated format eliminates the field labor, fusion splicer rental, OTDR test equipment, and skilled-technician scheduling overhead associated with pull-and-splice trunk installations. Factory termination under controlled cleanroom conditions produces consistent insertion loss performance (typically ≤0.35dB per mated connection) and return loss exceeding 20dB, shipping with serialized test reports that satisfy BICSI DCDC and TIA-942 Rated-3/Rated-4 datacenter tier documentation requirements. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke and zero-halogen combustion standards (IEC 60332-1, 60754-1, 60754-2) required by international building codes for occupied equipment rooms, under-raised-floor installations in NFPA 75-compliant datacenters, and vertical riser pathways in ASHRAE TC 9.9 thermal-containment designs where PVC off-gassing would violate air quality or fire-suppression agent compatibility rules. Lime jacket color follows the TIA-598-D identification scheme for OM5 fiber, instantly distinguishable from aqua (OM3/OM4), orange (OM1/OM2), or yellow (OS2 singlemode) cables during MAC work or troubleshooting, reducing the risk of mispatched links that cause speed negotiation failures or transceiver compatibility errors in multi-rate switch environments.
This assembly meets TIA-568-C.3 Annex A multimode channel performance requirements, ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2 Class OM5 specifications, and TIA-492-AAAD fiber geometry standards for 50µm core diameter, ensuring interoperability with Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and Dell enterprise switch optics modules as well as Brocade and Marvell storage fabric transceivers. The 200-foot length and OM5 bandwidth support 100GBASE-SR4 transmission at 100 meters (328 feet), providing margin for pathway routing inefficiencies, vertical drops through cable trays, or future re-termination to breakout harnesses without link budget failures. RoHS compliance (lead-free, mercury-free, cadmium-free materials) satisfies procurement requirements for ENERGY STAR datacenters, government IT refresh contracts under federal sustainable acquisition mandates, and corporate ESG initiatives tracking Scope 3 supply chain materials. For integrators deploying spine-leaf fabrics, SAN extension links, or high-density patch-and-play structured cabling in colocation white space, this Panduit trunk delivers the installation speed, pathway efficiency, and bandwidth scalability that legacy pull-and-terminate workflows cannot match at comparable labor cost.
