Panduit FWTYL7575LNM008 QuickNet 12-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
Pre-terminated 12-fiber OM5 trunk assembly engineered for high-density data center deployments where space, deployment speed, and 40/100G readiness matter. This 8-meter QuickNet assembly uses Panduit's small-diameter trunk cable construction—saving 30 to 40 percent conduit fill compared to standard 12-fiber assemblies—while delivering ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA-568-C.3 compliant performance. Lime LSZH jacket meets IEC and NEC flame requirements for raised-floor and overhead pathways. When your fiber infrastructure needs extended reach beyond standard 5-meter intra-rack jumpers and you're routing through congested horizontal or vertical pathways, this assembly eliminates field termination labor and gives you tested, documented insertion loss out of the package.
Key Features
- OM5 Wideband Multimode Fiber — 50-micron core supports 40GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters per TIA-492-AAAD; backward compatible with OM3/OM4 systems and forward-ready for short-wave-division multiplexing (SWDM) applications to 400G and beyond
- Small-Diameter Trunk Construction — Occupies 30 to 40% less conduit and cable-tray space than conventional 12-fiber assemblies; critical advantage in congested horizontal pathways, vertical risers, and under-floor routing where every cubic inch of pathway fill matters
- 8-Meter Extended Reach — 26.25-foot overall length bridges intra-row aggregation switches, top-of-rack to middle-of-row runs, or raised-floor to overhead cable-tray transitions without mid-span splice points
- QuickNet Pre-Terminated Connectors — Factory-polished and tested connectors eliminate field termination labor, fusion-splice equipment, and the insertion-loss variability that comes with field work; plug-and-light deployment in new builds or retrofit add-capacity projects
- LSZH Jacket Compound — Low Smoke Zero Halogen formulation meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60754 requirements for enclosed spaces; reduces toxic-gas emission and particulate smoke in fire events, required or preferred in data centers, telecom COs, and mission-critical facilities across EMEA and APAC markets
- TIA and ISO Compliant — Meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) connector geometry, and TIA/EIA-568-C.1 infrastructure standards; RoHS-compliant construction for EU and California installations
- Lime Color-Coding — OM5 standard lime jacket per TIA-598 ensures instant visual identification during installation and troubleshooting; eliminates mix-ups with OM3 aqua or OM4 erika violet cables in mixed-fiber plants
OM5 fiber shifts the multimode conversation from simple 10G-over-300-meters to genuine 40/100G short-reach backbones and spine-leaf fabrics. The key difference: OM5's extended 953 nm wavelength window support enables short-wave-division multiplexing (SWDM), where four wavelengths share a single fiber pair to deliver 40G or 100G over the same physical infrastructure that handled 10G. For integrators deploying leaf-spine architectures in enterprise data centers or colocation white-space builds, this means your fiber plant supports the next two generations of switch upgrades without pulling new cable. Panduit's 50-micron core geometry and tight modal-bandwidth specifications (minimum 3500 MHz·km at 850 nm) ensure you're not leaving margin on the table when your customer moves from 10GBASE-SR to 40GBASE-SR4 optics. The small-diameter trunk construction matters more than marketing spec sheets suggest: in congested under-floor pathways with 50+ existing cable bundles, a 30 percent reduction in cross-sectional area is the difference between pulling the new fiber run through existing conduit or cutting concrete to install oversized J-hooks and new pathway. On vertical riser runs through fire-rated sleeves or telecom closet penetrations with limited spare capacity, that same space savings keeps you compliant with NEC conduit-fill tables without variance requests or pathway expansion costs.
QuickNet assemblies fit builds where deployment speed dictates project success: hyperscale white-space turn-ups with 48-hour activation SLAs, retrofit add-capacity projects in live data halls where fusion-splice work requires service windows you can't get, or modular data center containers where every cable must be pulled, dressed, and tested in a compressed integration timeline. Pre-terminated assemblies eliminate the fusion splicer, cleaver, and OTDRs that field termination requires; your crew pulls cable, plugs connectors, and validates insertion loss with a simple light source and power meter. Panduit factory-tests every connector for insertion loss and return loss before the assembly ships, giving you documented performance and a single-vendor warranty path when a link fails acceptance testing. The 8-meter length hits the sweet spot for intra-row deployments—long enough to route from top-of-rack switches in cabinet 12 to middle-of-row aggregation switches in cabinet 6 without a mid-span splice, short enough to avoid the coiling and cable-management headaches that come with 15-meter or 20-meter assemblies where you only need 7 meters of physical run. LSZH jacket construction addresses the fire-safety requirement that's increasingly non-negotiable in new data-center builds: enclosed spaces with limited egress and high-value equipment concentrations can't tolerate PVC combustion byproducts. European and APAC markets mandate LSZH in commercial structures; North American enterprise customers and colocation providers specify it to match corporate safety standards or to satisfy insurance-carrier loss-control requirements.
This assembly ships with standards compliance across the TIA-568-C.3 commercial building telecommunications cabling standard (multimode fiber), ISO/IEC 11801 generic cabling for customer premises (edition 2.2 or later), TIA-604-5 FOCIS-5 connector intermateability (LC physical geometry), and TIA-492-AAAD fiber performance specifications (OM5 modal bandwidth and attenuation). That compliance stack matters when your customer's network design relies on vendor-neutral structured cabling to support a 20-year infrastructure lifecycle with three or four generations of active equipment swaps—you're not locked to Panduit optics or switches, and the cabling plant supports any standards-compliant transceiver the customer deploys in 2026 or 2036. For integrators working on federal, healthcare, or finance-sector projects with third-party design review and acceptance testing, the documentation trail and standards conformance eliminates the change-order risk that comes with non-compliant materials. Pair this trunk assembly with Panduit fiber enclosures, cable management, and LC adapter plates for a complete structured cabling solution that meets the Crutchfield-grade standard your commercial customers expect from day-one installation to decade-two lifecycle extension.
