Panduit FWUYL7575KAM045 QuickNet OM5 24-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575KAM045 QuickNet trunk delivers 24 OM5 wideband multimode fibers in a single 45-meter LSZH assembly, purpose-built for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR10 spine-to-leaf deployments where extended reach and density matter. PanMPO-to-PanMPO HD Flex construction routes through tight cable trays and zero-U vertical managers without exceeding bend-radius limits, while Method A polarity and ultra insertion loss grading eliminate field testing and re-termination on install day. The lime jacket meets LSZH flammability standards for enclosed equipment rooms and under-floor plenums where PVC smoke toxicity is prohibited by local code.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber (50µm core) certified to TIA-492-AAAD for SWDM and legacy 850nm applications
- 24-fiber count supports twelve duplex 10G channels or three 40G/100G parallel-optic links via breakout
- PanMPO female connectors (12-fiber interface) on both ends with Method A polarity for plug-and-play TOR switch integration
- Ultra insertion loss specification ensures <0.35dB per mated pair, preserving link budget on 100m+ campus runs
- HD Flex cable construction: 30-40% smaller OD than standard trunk assemblies for high-density vertical and horizontal pathways
- LSZH jacket (IEC 60332-3 rated) produces minimal smoke and zero halogen gas during combustion
- Integrated pulling eye on one end rated for mechanical installation through conduit and j-hooks
- 45-meter length spans typical datacenter hot-aisle to distribution-frame distances without mid-run splicing
- Factory-terminated and tested to TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 insertion-loss limits
- RoHS compliant, lime cable jacket for instant OM5 visual identification per TIA-598-D color coding
OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the effective modal bandwidth of traditional OM4 across the 850nm-950nm spectrum, enabling short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) transceivers to push four wavelengths over a single fiber pair—quadrupling capacity without adding fiber count. In legacy 10GBASE-SR and 40GBASE-SR4 deployments, OM5 simply functions as OM4 (4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850nm), so you gain future-proofing with zero compatibility penalty. The FWUYL7575KAM045 ships with Method A polarity: position 1 on Connector A maps to position 12 on Connector B, matching the TIA-568 standard pinout used by Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and Dell spine switches. Ultra insertion loss grading guarantees each of the twelve fiber pairs inside both PanMPO connectors measures ≤0.35dB insertion loss when mated to a bulkhead adapter—critical when your 100GBASE-SR10 link budget allows only 1.9dB end-to-end and you're chaining trunk-to-breakout-to-patch. The HD Flex cable body uses a reduced-diameter central strength member and tight-buffered fiber layout to achieve approximately 5.5mm OD (versus 8-10mm for standard 24-fiber trunks), shaving 35% off the cross-sectional area and letting you pack three times the fiber into a 4" vertical manager or overhead ladder rack.
Datacenter and enterprise campus deployments favor pre-terminated trunk assemblies over field-terminated solutions because factory testing eliminates the single largest source of Day One trouble tickets—bad connector end-face geometry and contamination. The FWUYL7575KAM045's 45-meter length handles spine-switch-to-MDA (main distribution area) runs in facilities up to 80,000 square feet, and the integrated pulling eye on one end lets installation crews pull the trunk through 1.5" ENT conduit or J-hook ceiling pathways without applying tensile load to the connectors themselves. Once dressed into the cable manager, the lime-colored LSZH jacket provides instant visual identification in mixed-generation fiber plants (OM3 is aqua, OM4 is erika violet, OM5 is lime per TIA-598-D), reducing the risk of cross-patching 10G optics into 40G ports during maintenance windows. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket formulation meets IEC 60332-3 Category C vertical flame spread and IEC 61034 smoke-density requirements, making it the code-required choice for European CENELEC installations, Asian markets with stringent building-fire regulations, and any U.S. facility where the authority having jurisdiction has adopted LSZH as the local standard for communications spaces. In a fire event, LSZH produces 60% less smoke opacity and zero hydrochloric acid compared to PVC-jacketed cable, preserving egress visibility and eliminating corrosive gas damage to adjacent servers and telecom gear.
The FWUYL7575KAM045 ships with test reports documenting compliance to TIA-568-C.3 insertion loss (<0.35dB), return loss (>20dB), and end-face geometry per IEC 61300-3-35, so acceptance testing on your receive inspection reduces to a visual connector check and continuity verification. It mates directly with Panduit FMT modular cassettes, Corning Pretium Edge modules, and any standards-compliant MTP/MPO bulkhead adapter, and the Method A pinout matches breakout harnesses from all major vendors without requiring a crossover trunk or polarity-flip adapter. For greenfield 40G/100G spine fabrics, modular SAN expansions, or OM3-to-OM5 migration projects where you need known-good trunk assemblies that install fast and test clean, this QuickNet trunk eliminates the field-termination labor, insertion-loss uncertainty, and LSZH jacket-sourcing delays that typically add two weeks and 40% to the material cost of comparable site-built solutions.
