Panduit FWTYL7575LAM079 QuickNet™ 12-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWTYL7575LAM079 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for data centers requiring rapid infrastructure deployment with extended 79-meter reach. Part of the QuickNet™ line, this pre-terminated assembly eliminates field termination labor and the risk of contamination or misalignment inherent in on-site connector installs. The 50-micron OM5 fiber supports 100GBASE-SR4, 400GBASE-SR8, and future 800G/1.6T applications across extended multimode distances. Lime LSZH jacketing provides immediate visual identification in high-density pathway environments while meeting fire and smoke safety requirements for occupied plenum and riser spaces. Small-diameter trunk construction occupies 30 to 40 percent less conduit and cabinet space compared to legacy bundled-patch designs, enabling higher port density per rack unit and reducing airflow obstruction in hot-aisle containment deployments.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber certified for 100G/400G/800G Ethernet applications with extended reach over OM3/OM4
- Factory-terminated 12-fiber configuration ships ready to install with no field polishing, epoxy, or connector assembly required
- 79-meter (259-foot) overall length spans inter-floor risers, cross-aisle pathways, and main-to-horizontal distribution frames in enterprise facilities
- Lime LSZH jacket provides instant cable-type identification and meets IEC 60332-3-24 flame spread and IEC 61034-2 smoke density limits
- Small-diameter trunk design reduces pathway fill by 30-40% compared to bundled discrete patch cords, maximizing airflow and simplifying adds/moves/changes
- QuickNet™ pre-terminated system eliminates field labor, contamination risk, and the test equipment overhead of on-site fusion splicing or mechanical terminations
- Complies with ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568-C.3, TIA-492-AAAD (OM5 fiber performance), and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) connector geometry standards
- RoHS-compliant construction meets European and California restricted-substance directives for end-of-life disposal and material declarations
OM5 fiber shifts the multimode performance curve for short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) optics, enabling four parallel 100G lanes over a single duplex fiber pair instead of the eight fibers required by conventional OM3/OM4 parallel optics. This FWTYL7575LAM079 assembly's 12-fiber count supports six duplex channels or four MTP-12 trunk connections, making it ideal for spine-leaf architectures where each leaf switch requires multi-channel uplinks to redundant spine switches. The 79-meter length clears vertical riser runs between basement meet-me rooms and third- or fourth-floor intermediate distribution frames, or horizontal runs spanning large server halls where equipment rows exceed the 100-meter Ethernet distance budget when accounting for patch cord derating. Panduit's factory termination process uses automated ferrule polishing and endface inspection to guarantee insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss better than -20 dB per connector pair, eliminating the variability and rework common with field-installed connectors. Lime jacketing follows TIA-598-D color coding for OM5 fiber, preventing accidental cross-patching with OM3 (aqua) or OM4 (violet) infrastructure during Mac operations.
Small-diameter trunk construction bundles 12 individual 900-micron buffered fibers into a single 6-8mm outer jacket, compared to the 15-20mm bundle diameter of twelve discrete 3mm patch cords zip-tied together. This 60-70 percent reduction in cross-sectional area translates directly to higher usable capacity in 4-inch conduit runs, lower cable-tray fill ratios for NEC Article 392 compliance, and reduced airflow blockage in front-of-rack vertical managers. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket meets IEC 60332-3-24 Category C vertical flame spread limits and IEC 61034-2 smoke density limits (light transmittance ≥60% at 4 minutes), making it the required choice for European installations under the Construction Products Regulation and for any U.S. facility where plenum-rated cable would otherwise be mandated but LSZH is preferred for occupied-space safety. Unlike PVC-jacketed cable, LSZH compounds emit no hydrochloric acid or dioxins during combustion, preventing corrosive damage to adjacent copper infrastructure and reducing evacuation risk in high-occupancy buildings. The 79-meter factory length eliminates mid-span splices and the associated 0.1-0.3 dB splice loss that would otherwise erode the link margin on extended-reach 100GBASE-SR4 connections operating near the 150-meter OM5 distance limit.
This trunk assembly ships as a single pull-ready unit with protective dust caps on all connector endfaces and includes a serialized label documenting the manufacturing date, test results, and per-fiber insertion loss values for complete as-built documentation. The QuickNet™ system is compatible with Panduit's FZ-series fiber enclosures, patch panels, and breakout modules, enabling a structured migration path from 10G to 100G to 400G optics without re-cabling the physical layer. Meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2 for Class OF-500 optical fiber cabling, TIA-568-C.3 for commercial building horizontal and backbone fiber, TIA-492-AAAD for OM5 wideband multimode fiber attenuation and bandwidth, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) for ferrule endface geometry, and IEC 60793-2-10 Type A1a.3 for multimode graded-index fiber characteristics. This assembly is the field-proven solution for data center operators requiring deterministic performance, rapid deployment, and full standards compliance in high-density 100G/400G spine-leaf and storage-area-network fabrics.
