Panduit FWTYL7575KAM092 12-Fiber OM5 QuickNet Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWTYL7575KAM092 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density datacenter environments where pathway space is constrained and deployment speed is critical. This 92-meter (301.84 ft) QuickNet trunk delivers extended reach between equipment rows, cross-connects, and distribution zones while consuming 30 to 40 percent less raceway volume than conventional multi-fiber assemblies. The lime-colored LSZH jacket provides instant visual identification in congested cable trays and meets fire-safety requirements for enclosed IT spaces, overhead plenums, and vertical risers where toxic smoke emission during a fire event poses life-safety risks.
Key Features
- OM5 Wideband Multimode Fiber: 50µm core diameter optimized for short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM), supporting 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and emerging 400G applications over extended distances compared to OM3/OM4
- 12-Fiber MPO/MTP Trunk Configuration: Factory-terminated connectors eliminate field splicing, polishing, and testing—plug-and-play deployment cuts installation time by 70% versus on-site termination
- 92-Meter Extended Reach: Spans datacenter zones up to 301 feet, accommodating riser runs between floors, long horizontal distances in hyperscale facilities, and cross-aisle backbone links without mid-span splices
- Reduced Diameter Design: Small-diameter trunk construction saves 30-40% pathway fill compared to traditional 12-fiber assemblies, maximizing airflow in overhead ladder rack and preserving capacity for future adds
- Lime LSZH Jacket: High-visibility lime/aqua color simplifies cable identification during troubleshooting and moves/adds/changes; low-smoke zero-halogen compound meets IEC 60332 and NFPA 262 for enclosed-space fire safety
- QuickNet Pre-Terminated System: Part of Panduit's modular QuickNet architecture—mates directly to QuickNet cassettes, panels, and enclosures for structured Layer 1 infrastructure that scales without downtime
- MPO/MTP Interface Compliance: Male or female connector options (verify at time of order) with standard key-up/key-down pinout configurations; TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) compliant for interoperability across vendors
- Standards-Validated Performance: Meets TIA-568-C.3 for optical fiber cabling, ISO/IEC 11801 for premises cabling, TIA-492-AAAD (OM5 fiber specifications), and IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3
- RoHS Compliant: Lead-free construction for environmentally responsible IT infrastructure deployments and compliance with global electronics recycling mandates
- Single-Unit Packaging: Ships as one ready-to-install assembly with protective dust caps on both MPO connectors; no loose components or field assembly required
OM5 fiber represents a generational leap in multimode technology, engineered specifically for short-wave wavelength-division multiplexing (SWDM) that transmits multiple 25 Gb/s or 50 Gb/s channels simultaneously over a single fiber pair. Where OM3 and OM4 are optimized for 850nm VCSEL transmission, OM5's wideband design supports four distinct wavelengths (850nm, 880nm, 910nm, 940nm) across the short-wave spectrum. This quadruples effective bandwidth without requiring additional fibers—a 12-fiber OM5 trunk can theoretically support the same aggregate throughput as a 48-fiber OM3/OM4 trunk in SWDM-enabled applications. For datacenter operators planning 400G spine-leaf fabrics or 800G roadmaps, OM5 future-proofs the physical layer without over-provisioning fiber count. The 50µm core diameter maintains backward compatibility with existing 10G/40G/100G SR optics, so you can deploy OM5 infrastructure today and light it with current-generation transceivers while preserving headroom for next-generation SWDM modules as they reach volume production.
Datacenter deployments demand rapid infrastructure standup and minimal disruption during expansion cycles. Traditional field-terminated fiber—splicing pigtails, polishing connectors, testing insertion loss—consumes days of skilled labor and introduces variability in optical performance. The FWTYL7575KAM092 eliminates that workflow entirely: factory-terminated MPO connectors are precision-polished in a controlled environment, tested for insertion loss and return loss before leaving the plant, and delivered as a single plug-and-play assembly. Installation teams pull the trunk through cable tray, plug both ends into QuickNet cassettes or MPO adapter panels, and move to the next run—no fusion splicer, no inspection microscope, no OTDR required. The 92-meter length is purpose-built for intra-building backbone links: equipment row to main distribution area (MDA) in a large colocation suite, telecom room to telecom room across multiple floors in a high-rise, or east-west spine links in hyperscale pod architectures where server racks are distributed across 250+ feet of raised floor. The lime jacket color provides instant visual differentiation from OM3 (aqua) and OM4 (violet/erika violet) trunks during troubleshooting—technicians can trace a circuit by color without pulling cable tags or consulting as-builts, reducing mean-time-to-repair during outages.
The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket compound is engineered for enclosed IT environments where PVC combustion byproducts—hydrochloric acid, dioxins, dense black smoke—pose life-safety and equipment-damage risks during fire events. LSZH materials emit minimal smoke opacity and zero corrosive halogens when exposed to flame, meeting IEC 60332-1 (single-cable vertical flame test) and IEC 60754 (halogen content limits). This makes the FWTYL7575KAM092 compliant with European EN 50575 CPR (Construction Products Regulation) requirements and suitable for overhead plenum spaces, vertical risers, and equipment rooms where building codes mandate low-toxicity cabling. Beyond fire safety, LSZH jackets resist UV degradation and mechanical abrasion better than standard PVC, extending service life in high-vibration equipment racks and outdoor-rated enclosures (when paired with appropriate weatherproof housings). Panduit's QuickNet system architecture ensures this trunk mates seamlessly with QuickNet MTP-to-LC cassettes (8-fiber or 12-fiber breakout), QuickNet MPO bulkhead panels, and QuickNet fiber enclosures—giving you a modular Layer 1 infrastructure that supports hot-swappable moves/adds/changes without disrupting adjacent circuits. Standards compliance spans TIA-568-C.3 (commercial building telecommunications cabling), ISO/IEC 11801 (generic cabling for customer premises), TIA-492-AAAD (OM5 laser-optimized 50µm fiber performance), IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3, and RoHS (lead-free electronics)—ensuring interoperability with third-party optics, switches, and structured cabling components while meeting global environmental and safety mandates.
