Panduit FWUYL7575KAM086 QuickNet 24-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575KAM086 is a factory-terminated 24-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center installations where rack space, airflow, and cable management are at a premium. Spanning 86 meters (282 feet), this lime-jacketed QuickNet trunk delivers pre-terminated reliability and extended reach for spine-leaf architectures, storage area networks, and high-performance computing clusters requiring 40G/100G multimode connectivity. LSZH flammability rating meets international building codes and reduces toxic smoke hazard in enclosed spaces.
Key Features
- 24-fiber OM5 multimode trunk with 50 µm core diameter, backward compatible with OM3/OM4 infrastructure
- 86-meter length supports extended horizontal runs and cross-connects in large data halls
- QuickNet small-diameter trunk design consumes 30-40% less pathway space than traditional assemblies
- Factory-terminated connectors eliminate field splicing errors and reduce installation labor by up to 70%
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket compliant with IEC 60332-3 for plenum and international deployments
- Lime jacket color-coded for OM5 identification per TIA-598-D fiber color standards
- Meets TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, and TIA-492-AAAD specifications for multimode fiber performance
- RoHS compliant for environmentally responsible procurement
OM5 fiber extends multimode reach and capacity beyond legacy OM3/OM4 by supporting short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), enabling four 25G channels over a single fiber pair for 100GBASE-SR4 and future 400G applications. This FWUYL7575KAM086 assembly uses 50 µm core diameter with optimized modal bandwidth—2000 MHz·km at 850 nm and 950 MHz·km at 953 nm—to deliver error-free transmission at 100 meters for 100G Ethernet and 150 meters for 40G links when paired with MPO/MTP-compliant transceivers. The 24-fiber count provides twelve duplex channels, suitable for redundant spine switches, parallel optics breakout, or future-proofed capacity in leaf-spine topologies. LSZH jacketing substitutes PVC and fluoropolymers with halogen-free compounds that produce 40-60% less smoke opacity and zero corrosive acid gases during combustion, critical for equipment rooms, risers, and international sites governed by IEC or CENELEC fire safety mandates. The lime jacket meets TIA-598-D OM5 color designation, preventing cross-connects with incompatible OM3 (aqua) or OM4 (violet) cables during maintenance.
Panduit QuickNet trunk assemblies are factory-built in ISO 9001 facilities with automated polishing and interferometric endface inspection, yielding insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss better than -20 dB per connector pair—performance unattainable with field terminations. The small-diameter trunk construction consolidates 24 fibers into a single jacketed bundle approximately 30% narrower than equivalent breakout or distribution cables, freeing cable tray capacity for power feeds and reducing obstruction to perforated floor tiles in hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. At 86 meters, this assembly bridges typical data center spans: raised-floor equipment rows to overhead ladder rack, cross-connect rooms to meet-me rooms, or end-of-row aggregation switches to main distribution frames. Pre-terminated trunks cut installation time from hours to minutes—no fusion splicer, no cleave-and-crimp, no consumables—and eliminate the most common failure mode in fiber deployments: damaged connector endfaces from improper field polishing. Installers pull once, dress to pathway supports, and plug into MPO cassettes or breakout modules without specialized fiber skills.
This trunk ships with protective dust caps on all connectors and includes pull-eye strain relief rated for 220-pound tensile load during installation, ensuring core integrity through conduit bends and vertical riser pulls. Panduit specifies a minimum bend radius of ten times cable diameter under tensile load and twenty times at rest, preserving the fiber geometry that maintains OM5's modal bandwidth advantage. For deployments requiring span documentation, each assembly includes a serialized label with length, fiber type, and test report traceability to factory certification records—valuable for TIA-942 Rated-3/Rated-4 data center audits and maintenance handoff documentation. The 24-fiber configuration maps cleanly to industry-standard MPO-12 or MPO-24 cassettes, supporting both base-12 and base-8 architectures without adapter waste.
