Panduit FWTYL7575LAM097 QuickNet 12-Fiber OM5 LSZH Trunk Cable Assembly - 97m
The Panduit FWTYL7575LAM097 is a factory-terminated 12-fiber OM5 multimode trunk cable engineered for high-density data center backbone installations requiring extended reach and rapid deployment. This 97-meter (318 ft) assembly delivers 50-micron OM5 performance in a small-diameter LSZH jacket that consumes 30 to 40 percent less pathway space than conventional trunk cables—critical when you're filling 4-inch conduit or high-density ladder rack. QuickNet pre-termination eliminates field splicing, cuts install time by hours, and ensures factory-grade insertion loss and return loss on every connector. Lime jacket provides instant visual identification in multi-path infrastructures.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports 100GBASE-SR4, 200G and 400G SR8/SR4.2 Ethernet over extended distances using short-wave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM)
- 12-fiber count in small-diameter trunk construction saves 30–40% conduit and tray space compared to bundled duplex assemblies
- 97-meter length bridges extended horizontal runs, building risers, or campus pathways without mid-span splices
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets plenum and international flame/smoke requirements for occupied spaces and European installations
- Factory-terminated QuickNet assembly delivers guaranteed optical performance and eliminates field termination labor, fusion splice costs, and on-site testing variables
- Lime cable jacket enables instant visual tracing and reduces mis-patch risk in dense multi-tenant or multi-application fiber infrastructures
- Complies with ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5), TIA-492-AAAD, and IEC 60793-2-10 A1a.3 for worldwide deployments
- RoHS compliant construction meets European hazardous substance directives for sustainable procurement mandates
OM5 fiber (also called wideband multimode fiber or WBMMF) extends the multimode roadmap beyond OM4 by supporting short-wave wavelength division multiplexing—a multiplexing scheme that transmits four 25G or 50G lanes over a single duplex fiber pair using 850 nm, 880 nm, 910 nm, and 940 nm wavelengths. This enables 100GBASE-SR4 to reach 150 meters (versus 100 meters on OM4) and future-proofs your backbone for 200G and 400G Ethernet migration without rewiring. The 50-micron core delivers the modal bandwidth required for these speeds while maintaining full backward compatibility with OM3 and OM4 transceivers—so you can deploy this trunk today with 10G or 40G switches and upgrade optics in place when you refresh to 100G spine fabrics or storage arrays. Panduit's OM5 fiber meets TIA-492-AAAD minimum effective modal bandwidth of 3500 MHz·km at 850 nm and 1850 MHz·km at 950 nm, ensuring margin for worst-case launch conditions and aging. The LSZH jacket compound limits flame spread to IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-24 Category C, produces smoke density below 0.5 per IEC 61034-2, and emits zero halogen acid gas per IEC 60754-1/2—essential for enclosed European equipment rooms, underground Metro stations, or any plenum space where PVC combustion products would violate local fire code or insurance underwriter requirements.
This 97-meter trunk length is purpose-built for extended horizontal backbones, building-to-building campus links under 100 meters, or vertical riser runs in multi-story facilities where you need to reach from basement MDF to top-floor IDF without a mid-span splice enclosure. The small-diameter trunk design consolidates 12 fibers into a single ruggedized cable assembly roughly the diameter of a standard 6-fiber trunk, reducing conduit fill by 30 to 40 percent compared to pulling six discrete duplex patch cords or individual simplex fibers—freeing capacity for future adds or power/cooling infrastructure. QuickNet factory termination means you're landing a tested, serialized assembly with guaranteed IL ≤ 0.3 dB and RL ≥ -20 dB per TIA-568-C.3 at the connector interface; no field polish, no fusion splicer rental, no OTDR truck roll to certify every link. Pull the trunk, secure it to cable management per minimum bend radius (typically 10× cable OD for multimode during install, 5× at rest), break out the fanout legs at each end, and plug into your MTP or LC cassettes. Installation time drops from half a day to under an hour for a typical 12-strand backbone. The lime jacket is part of Panduit's color-coding scheme for rapid visual identification in crowded pathways—reserve lime for OM5, aqua for OM3/OM4, yellow for OS2 single-mode—and your techs can trace paths without pulling every cable tag or consulting as-builts during adds/moves/changes.
This assembly is built to TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 multimode cabling standards and tested to TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) connector geometry for plug-and-play compatibility with Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Dell, HPE, and all enterprise switch and storage OEMs. IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 classification confirms fiber category for international projects governed by ISO standards rather than TIA. RoHS compliance satisfies European Union hazardous substance restrictions and increasingly common North American procurement policies requiring lead-free, low-toxicity materials. Deploy this trunk with confidence in hyperscale colocation facilities, financial trading floors, healthcare PACS backbones, or government installations where extended reach, rapid turn-up, and verifiable standards compliance are non-negotiable—and where pathway congestion and labor costs make small-diameter pre-terminated trunks the only economically viable approach to 100G-ready multimode infrastructure.
