Panduit FWUYL7575KAM091 OM5 24-Fiber PanMPO Trunk Cable Assembly
This Panduit FWUYL7575KAM091 is a 91-meter OM5 wideband multimode trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density 100G/400G data center deployments. Featuring 24 fibers in a PanMPO Female-to-Female configuration with Method A polarity and Ultra Insertion Loss performance, this QuickNet pre-terminated trunk delivers plug-and-play infrastructure with 30–40% less cable-fill compared to traditional breakout assemblies. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket meets international fire safety standards for enclosed spaces, while the integrated pulling eye simplifies installation in congested pathways.

OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the reach and capacity of legacy OM3/OM4 infrastructures by adding support for short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) across four wavelengths (850, 880, 910, 940 nm). This allows each 24-fiber trunk to support up to six duplex 100G connections or three duplex 400G connections using 8-fiber (100G SR4) or 16-fiber (400G SR8/SR16) breakout modules—doubling effective port density without re-cabling. The 50µm core diameter maintains full backward compatibility with existing OM3/OM4 transceivers, so you can deploy OM5 trunks today and migrate to SWDM optics on your upgrade schedule.
The PanMPO Female-to-Female connector configuration uses Panduit's push-pull latch design for tool-free mating in high-density panels and cassettes. Method A polarity (key-up to key-up) means fiber position 1 on one end maps to position 1 on the far end—ideal for spine-leaf topologies where each trunk connects a switch to a cassette or breakout module without crossover adapters. Ultra Insertion Loss performance (typically <0.35 dB per mated pair) preserves link budget on 100-meter OM5 channels, allowing headroom for patch cords, cassettes, and future transceiver sensitivity degradation. The connectors are factory-polished and inspected to meet IEC 61755-3-31 end-face geometry requirements, eliminating the 0.5–1.0 dB insertion loss variability common in field-terminated MPO assemblies.
HD Flex cable construction uses a reduced-diameter jacket and tight-buffered fibers to achieve 30–40% smaller cross-sectional area than standard 24-fiber round trunks. This translates directly into higher fill ratios in 4-inch cable trays and ladder racks—critical when retrofitting 100G/400G bandwidth into existing pathways sized for 10G. The lime jacket color provides instant visual differentiation from OM3 (aqua) and OM4 (violet/magenta) trunks during installs and MAC work, reducing the risk of plugging 100G SR4 optics into OM3 links that can't support the required 70-meter reach.
In hyperscale and enterprise data centers migrating to 100G spine-leaf or 400G core fabrics, pre-terminated MPO trunks eliminate the two largest cabling bottlenecks: field termination time and link certification labor. A single FWUYL7575KAM091 trunk replaces twelve duplex LC patch cords between a switch and an MPO cassette, reducing installation time from 90 minutes (field-terminate 24 LC connectors + test) to under 5 minutes (pull trunk, mate MPO connectors, done). The 91-meter length covers typical vertical riser runs from basement meet-me rooms to fourth-floor equipment rooms, or horizontal runs from end-of-row switches to mid-row cabinets in deep data halls—all without mid-span fusion splicing that adds cost, loss, and failure points.
The integrated pulling eye on one end allows installers to attach pull rope or fish tape directly to the cable assembly, distributing tensile load across the entire jacket rather than stressing the connector backshell. This is essential when pulling through multiple 90° bends in conduit or threading through congested overhead cable trays where the trunk must navigate around power cables, hot aisle containment rails, and HVAC ductwork. The LSZH jacket meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 61034 smoke and flame requirements—mandatory for enclosed data centers in EMEA and APAC regions, and increasingly specified in North American colocation facilities to meet tenant insurance requirements and local fire codes.
When deploying this trunk in structured cabling systems, pair it with Panduit FAP or FAWM MPO cassettes (sold separately) to break out the 24-fiber trunk into twelve duplex LC, CS, or MDC ports at the equipment end. Use Method A (straight-through) cassettes to maintain polarity without field conversion—each cassette row corresponds to a pair of fibers in the trunk (fibers 1-2 → port 1, fibers 3-4 → port 2, etc.). In spine-leaf topologies, install a 24-fiber trunk per leaf switch uplink module, then use 8-fiber or 16-fiber breakout harnesses from the cassette to connect individual 100G or 400G ports. This modular approach lets you light up ports incrementally as traffic grows, rather than over-provisioning 24×100G of optics on day one.
This assembly meets TIA-568-C.3 performance requirements for OM5 channels, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) MPO connector geometry, and ISO/IEC 11801 international structured cabling standards, ensuring interoperability with Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Mellanox 100G/400G optics. The trunk is RoHS-compliant for EMEA installations and ships with individual serial numbers and test reports documenting insertion loss and return loss per fiber pair—essential for customer acceptance testing and as-built documentation. For mission-critical links requiring >99.999% uptime, the factory-controlled termination process eliminates the contamination, polarity errors, and improper connector seating that account for 60% of post-install fiber failures in field-terminated systems. When cabinet space and installation speed determine deployment feasibility, the FWUYL7575KAM091 delivers the reach, density, and reliability required for carrier-grade data center infrastructures.
