Panduit FWTYL7575LAM064 OM5 12F 64m Trunk - LSZH

Panduit FWTYL7575LAM064 QuickNet™ OM5 12-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly

The Panduit FWTYL7575LAM064 is a 64-meter QuickNet™ OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for ultra-high-density data center interconnects requiring wideband multimode fiber performance. Terminated with PanMPO® female connectors on both ends and rated for Ultra Insertion Loss, this 12-fiber LSZH trunk supports Method B polarity for structured cabling deployments up to 40/100GBASE-SR4 and emerging shortwave WDM applications. The HD Flex transition cable construction reduces pathway fill by 30-40% compared to standard round cordage, while the factory-installed pulling eye simplifies horizontal and vertical cable pulls in congested backbone routes. Lime jacket color denotes OM5 at a glance during MACs.

Key Features

OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the operating wavelength range from 850nm (OM3/OM4 baseline) to 850-950nm, enabling shortwave wavelength-division multiplexing (SWDM) transceivers to transmit four 25G lanes over a single fiber pair rather than eight fibers. This architectural shift cuts trunk fiber counts by 50% in 100GBASE-SR4 migrations while maintaining full 100-meter reach—critical for data centers inheriting OM3/OM4 infrastructure where rip-and-replace is cost-prohibitive. The FWTYL7575LAM064's Ultra Insertion Loss rating guarantees ≤0.35 dB per mated connector pair under IEC 61300-3-34 test conditions—critical for preserving optical power budget on 64-meter backbone runs where cumulative loss directly impacts BER performance at 25/50/100G rates. Panduit's HD Flex cable construction uses a central strength member with 50µm fibers arranged in a flexible ribbon matrix, achieving 4.6mm overall diameter versus 7.0mm+ for conventional round 12-fiber cables. This 34% diameter reduction translates to 56% less cross-sectional area, nearly doubling usable pathway fill in cable trays and overhead ladder rack. The PanMPO® female connectors feature precision-molded ferrules with sub-micron fiber height geometry and push-pull latching mechanisms rated for 200+ mating cycles, far exceeding the 50-cycle minimum in data center MAC/upgrade scenarios. Each connector ships with removable dust caps and integrated strain relief boots that maintain the cable's 10× minimum bend radius under pulling tension up to 220 lbf.

In hyperscale and enterprise data centers running 40GBASE-SR4 or 100GBASE-SR4 leaf-spine fabrics, every rack unit and every cubic centimeter of overhead pathway matters. Traditional round trunk cables consume excessive tray fill, forcing installers to oversize conduit or limit port density to avoid exceeding the 40% fill-ratio requirement in NEC Article 300. The FWTYL7575LAM064's slim profile allows 60-80% more trunks per 4-inch ladder rack compared to legacy designs, deferring expensive pathway expansion during network augments. The factory-installed pulling eye on one end (opposite end clean for direct equipment connection) simplifies vertical riser pulls—installers attach pulling tape to the eye rather than field-rigging a Kellems grip around fragile connectors, reducing pull-point stress concentration and eliminating the risk of ferrule end-face damage during installation. The 64-meter length is optimized for inter-floor backbone runs in three- to six-story facilities: sufficient headroom to route from basement MDA through overhead trays to top-floor IDF without mid-span splicing, yet short enough to avoid excess service loop coiling that wastes rack space and introduces bend-radius risk. Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket material eliminates the need for conduit in European and Asia-Pacific installations governed by IEC 60332-3 flame propagation limits and toxicity standards, reducing installation labor by 25-35% versus plenum-rated cables that require metallic raceway in occupied return-air spaces.

Each FWTYL7775LAM064 trunk ships with serialized test reports documenting insertion loss, return loss, and fiber length for all 12 fiber positions, measured per IEC 61280-4-1 using calibrated reference-grade launch cables. Typical measured IL at 850nm is 0.25-0.30 dB per connector (well under the 0.75 dB maximum per TIA-568-C.3), and return loss exceeds 30 dB, ensuring compliance with TIA-568-C.3 Tier 2 component certification without field OTDR testing. The test data includes Panduit's lot traceability codes, enabling forensic root-cause analysis if field performance issues arise during network troubleshooting. As part of Panduit's QuickNet ecosystem, this trunk integrates seamlessly with FHD, FQHD, and FAP high-density cassette enclosures using Method B polarity—connector 1 position A pairs with connector 2 position B—so duplex LC breakouts to switch faceplates maintain transmit-receive alignment without A/B cable flips or field rewiring. The 12-fiber count maps directly to three 40G QSFP+ ports (4 fibers each) or one 100G QSFP28 port (8 active fibers plus 4 spare), matching common top-of-rack and spine switch port configurations. For installations requiring traceable compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 Class OM5 channel specifications, TIA-492-AAAD wideband fiber performance, and RoHS material restrictions in EU markets, the FWTYL7575LAM064 delivers a factory-terminated, factory-tested, pull-ready backbone solution that eliminates field-splicing variability and accelerates time to production on strict data center deployment schedules.
