Panduit FWUYL7575KAM025 QuickNet OM5 24-Fiber MTP Trunk Cable
The Panduit FWUYL7575KAM025 is a 25-meter OM5 SigCore trunk cable assembly delivering 24 fibers in a pre-terminated PanMPO-to-PanMPO configuration. Built for high-density data center deployments, this HD Flex trunk uses Method A polarity and Ultra insertion loss-grade connectors to support 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) architectures. The LSZH jacket meets plenum and riser fire codes while the reduced-diameter construction saves 30-40% pathway space compared to legacy trunk designs. Lime jacket color provides instant visual identification of OM5 infrastructure per TIA guidelines.
Key Features
- OM5 SigCore 50μm multimode fiber rated for 100m reach at 100Gb/s (SR4) and SWDM applications to 400Gb/s
- 24-fiber MTP/MPO trunk with female PanMPO connectors both ends, Method A polarity for spine-leaf and structured cabling
- Ultra insertion loss grade — tighter than industry standard IL specs for extended link budgets and future margin
- HD Flex cable construction: 30-40% smaller diameter than standard trunks, critical for congested horizontal and vertical pathways
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket rated for plenum and riser spaces, IEC 60332 compliant
- Lime jacket (OM5 standard color) for immediate media-type identification during adds/moves/changes
- Factory-terminated and tested: eliminates field termination labor, ensures day-one link performance
- Integrated pulling eye on one end rated for installation loads, protects connectors during long pulls
- 25-meter length suits data center row-to-EOR and cross-aisle MDA-to-HDA runs
- QuickNet™ platform: serialized, traceable, backed by Panduit factory test records and lifetime warranty
OM5 SigCore fiber extends the multimode installed base into 100Gb/s and emerging 200/400Gb/s short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) territory without sacrificing backward compatibility with OM3/OM4 transceivers. The FWUYL7575KAM025 uses Panduit's factory-fusion-spliced MTP backbone construction: 24 individual 50/125μm fibers spliced into two 12-fiber MTP connectors, then tested for insertion loss, return loss, and polarity at the Panduit facility. This eliminates the variability of field terminations — no epoxy cure times, no hand-polishing, no on-site test equipment required. You get guaranteed <0.35dB insertion loss per mated pair (Ultra grade) and >20dB return loss, with serialized test data accessible via Panduit's online portal. That headroom matters when you're pushing 100GBASE-SR4 to the 100-meter OM5 distance limit or planning SWDM migrations that demand low modal dispersion and tight wavelength performance.
The HD Flex cable jacket measures approximately 5.8mm OD for the 24-fiber count, compared to 8-10mm for traditional round trunk designs. In practice this means you can fit 40-60% more circuits through a 4-inch backbone pathway or overhead cable tray before hitting fill-ratio codes. The LSZH compound meets IEC 60332-3-24 bundle flame test and produces <0.5% HCl and <5% light transmittance (smoke density) during combustion — mandatory for international data centers and increasingly required by North American authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) in high-occupancy spaces. The lime jacket follows TIA-598-D Appendix F color coding for OM5 (lime green), preventing the tech from grabbing an OM3 aqua trunk during a 100Gb deployment and wondering why the link won't train. Method A polarity (straight-through pinout: Fiber 1 Tx at Position 1 maps to Fiber 1 Rx at Position 1 on far end) works with standard duplex breakout modules and supports bidirectional transceiver architectures without adapter flipping or B-to-A crossovers. The pulling eye on one end integrates into the boot assembly and handles up to 50lbf tension during installation, letting you route the trunk through j-hooks, vertical risers, and tight-radius corners without stressing the connector backshell or fiber.
This trunk assembly is factory-tested to TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 insertion loss limits, with results serialized and stored in Panduit's test database. It ships with protective dust caps on both connectors and includes a QR-coded label for asset management integration. The 25-meter length covers typical data center row-to-end-of-row distances (60-80 feet) and cross-aisle MDA-to-HDA runs, fitting the 90-meter permanent link allocation in TIA-568 structured cabling when paired with short equipment cords. Panduit's QuickNet platform backs this assembly with a lifetime warranty covering materials, workmanship, and optical performance — a concrete risk transfer for projects where day-two link failures trigger SLA penalties and after-hours truck rolls.
