Panduit FWUYL7575KAM092 QuickNet™ OM5 24-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575KAM092 is a factory-terminated 24-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center backbone and horizontal distribution runs requiring extended reach. This 92-meter (301.84 ft) QuickNet™ trunk delivers 50-micron wideband multimode fiber performance in a reduced-diameter construction that consumes 30 to 40 percent less pathway space than conventional trunk designs. The lime LSZH jacket provides TIA-568 compliant OM5 identification while meeting strict fire and smoke requirements for occupied data halls and equipment rooms. Factory termination eliminates field splicing labor and delivers guaranteed insertion loss performance out of the box.
Key Features
- OM5 Wideband Multimode Fiber: 50-micron core supports 100GBASE-SR4, 400GBASE-SR8, and emerging short-wavelength WDM protocols at extended distances compared to OM3/OM4
- 24-Fiber High-Density Trunk: Consolidated backbone connectivity reduces cable congestion and simplifies moves/adds/changes in spine-leaf and structured cabling architectures
- Small Diameter Construction: 30-40% space savings compared to traditional trunk assemblies enables higher fill ratios in cable tray, ladder rack, and overhead pathways without exceeding NEC fill limits
- 92-Meter Extended Reach: 301.84 ft length supports long horizontal runs, cross-facility links, and multi-floor vertical riser applications in enterprise and colocation facilities
- LSZH Fire Rating: Low smoke zero halogen jacket compound meets IEC 60332-3-24 flame propagation and IEC 61034-2 smoke density requirements for installation in occupied spaces and air-handling plenums (when used with appropriate innerduct)
- Lime Jacket Identification: TIA-568-C.3 compliant lime color provides instant visual confirmation of OM5 fiber type, preventing cross-connection errors during deployment and maintenance
- Factory-Terminated QuickNet™: Pre-connectorized and 100% tested assemblies eliminate field termination labor, reduce installation errors, and guarantee IL/RL performance per TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) interface standards
- TIA/ISO Standards Compliant: Meets TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-492-AAAD (OM5 fiber spec), and IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 optical performance requirements
OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the usable spectrum of 50-micron MMF by qualifying performance across 850 nm and 953 nm wavelength windows. This dual-window capability enables short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) protocols that transmit multiple 25G or 50G lanes over a single fiber pair, reducing the physical fiber count required for 100G, 200G, and 400G Ethernet links. The FWUYL7575KAM092's 24-fiber trunk supports twelve duplex LC connections, providing backbone capacity for 4.8 Tbps aggregate throughput (twelve 400G links) in a single cable assembly. The 92-meter length covers TIA-568 horizontal channel distances (90m permanent link + 10m combined patch cord allowance) with headroom, and extends well beyond the 70-100 meter reach of 100GBASE-SR4 and 400GBASE-SR8 over OM5 fiber. For 10GBASE-SR and 25GBASE-SR applications, OM5 supports 300+ meter link distances, making this trunk suitable for inter-building campus links and vertical riser runs in mid-rise facilities. The small-diameter construction uses tight-buffered 900-micron fiber sub-units in a compact outer jacket, achieving cable OD reductions that directly translate to higher conduit and tray fill capacity. In retrofit installations where existing pathways are at or near capacity, the space savings allow infrastructure upgrades without costly pathway replacement or expansion.
Data center deployments benefit from the reduced installation time and guaranteed performance of factory-terminated trunks. Field termination of 24-fiber cables requires 48 connector polishing operations (LC duplex = 2 connectors per circuit × 12 circuits), plus fusion splicing if pigtail-style terminations are used. A trained technician requires 3-5 hours to terminate and test a 24-fiber trunk in the field; the QuickNet assembly reduces that to 15-30 minutes of pulling and breakout installation. In new construction and rapid deployment scenarios (modular data centers, edge compute buildouts, disaster recovery hot sites), the time savings directly impact project schedules and labor costs. The factory test certification provides documented insertion loss and return loss values for each fiber, satisfying Tier III/IV data center documentation requirements and simplifying acceptance testing. The LSZH jacket compound meets European EN 50575 CPR (Construction Products Regulation) Cca/B2ca ratings and international building codes that mandate halogen-free cables in occupied spaces, telecommunications rooms, and air-return plenums. LSZH construction limits toxic gas and smoke generation in fire conditions, improving egress safety and reducing equipment damage from corrosive halogen byproducts. The lime jacket color follows TIA-568-C.3 Annex A color coding (OM5 = lime green), preventing accidental cross-connection to OM3 (aqua) or OM4 (erika violet) infrastructure during maintenance or expansion work.
This trunk assembly ships as a single ready-to-install unit with protective dust caps on all connectors and meets RoHS material restrictions for lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. The 24-fiber configuration supports structured cabling designs using 12-fiber distribution taps (breakout to 6 duplex work areas) or full 24-fiber endpoint connections to spine switches and storage arrays. Panduit QuickNet trunks are widely deployed in financial services, healthcare, education, and hyperscale cloud provider facilities where installation quality, speed, and long-term reliability justify the premium over field-terminated alternatives. The 92-meter length is stocked for immediate deployment in large-footprint data halls (10,000+ sq ft) and multi-floor equipment room interconnects, eliminating the lead time and cost variability of custom-length assemblies while providing the exact reach required for TIA-568 compliant structured cabling horizontal links.
