Panduit FWTYL7575KAM073 QuickNet 12-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWTYL7575KAM073 is a 12-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center deployments requiring extended multimode reach and future-proof bandwidth. At 73 meters (239.5 feet), this pre-terminated QuickNet assembly delivers factory-tested connectivity between distribution frames, switches, and patch panels while consuming 30-40% less pathway space than conventional trunk designs. The lime LSZH jacket provides instant visual identification in congested cable trays and meets international flame-propagation standards for enclosed spaces.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports 100G/200G/400G over 150m, 40G SWDM to 440m
- 12-fiber count handles six duplex connections or three 4-fiber parallel optics links
- Small-diameter trunk construction saves 30-40% conduit/tray capacity versus standard assemblies
- Factory-terminated with polished connectors—eliminates field splicing labor and test equipment costs
- Lime LSZH jacket for color-coding and low-toxicity compliance in occupied areas
- 50-micron core optimized for VCSEL-based transceivers (850nm and SWDM 850-950nm)
- TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 certified for enterprise structured cabling
- QuickNet platform compatibility with Panduit's modular cassette and panel ecosystem
OM5 fiber represents the current ceiling for multimode performance, introducing wideband multimode fiber (WBMMF) specifications that enable shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) across four distinct wavelengths between 850nm and 950nm. Where traditional OM3 and OM4 fibers optimize for a single 850nm window, OM5's reduced differential mode delay across the SWDM spectrum allows 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 transceivers to achieve distances up to 440 meters and 150 meters respectively—double the reach of OM4 for 100G applications. The 50-micron core diameter maintains full backward compatibility with installed OM3 and OM4 links, so this trunk integrates seamlessly into mixed-generation backbones without requalification. The assembly is tested to insertion loss maximums of 0.35 dB per mated connector pair and return loss minimums of -20 dB, ensuring margin for 25G-per-lane signaling that underpins 100G/400G Ethernet and 32G Fibre Channel. For planning purposes, expect 100GBASE-SR4 to 150m, 40GBASE-SR4 to 400m, 10GBASE-SR to 550m, and emerging 800G-SR8 applications to 100m when using OM5 as the physical layer.
Pre-terminated trunk assemblies collapse installation schedules by eliminating on-site fusion splicing, connector polishing, and OTDR certification—three steps that require specialized technicians and add days to cutover windows. The FWTYL7575KAM073 ships with connectors factory-inspected and end-face geometry validated, so you can route the assembly, seat both ends, and go live the same shift. The small-diameter cable design becomes critical in raised-floor data centers where underfloor space competes with power whips, cooling ducts, and legacy copper bundles. Trunk cables that occupy 30-40% less volume let you add fiber density without exhausting conduit fill ratios or exceeding tray load limits. The 73-meter length fits most intra-building horizontal runs and inter-floor riser applications—long enough to span floors in mid-rise colocation facilities but short enough to avoid excessive slack management. Lime jackets simplify MAC work in racks where a dozen different vendors' gray cables create troubleshooting chaos; color-code by function and reduce human error during emergency re-patching. The QuickNet ecosystem means this trunk mates directly with Panduit FAP fiber adapter panels, FMT cassette modules, and FHD high-density enclosures—no adapter mismatches or return-loss penalties from mixing connector brands.
This assembly meets TIA-568-C.3 for commercial building telecommunications cabling, ISO/IEC 11801 for generic cabling in customer premises, and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) for MPO/MTP connector intermateability. The LSZH jacket compound complies with IEC 60332-1-2 and 60754 for low smoke and halogen-free emissions, a requirement for under-floor installation in European datacenters and increasingly mandated by U.S. building codes for return-air plenums. RoHS compliance and TIA-492-AAAD fiber specifications ensure this trunk passes procurement review for defense, healthcare, and financial-sector projects where material restrictions and traceability dominate the RFP checklist. For integrators managing spine-leaf fabric upgrades or hyperconverged infrastructure deployments, the FWTYL7575KAM073 delivers the combination of density, distance, and standards adherence that keeps projects on schedule and out of change-order disputes.
