Panduit FWUYL7575KNM030 QuickNet 24-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
High-density data center deployments demand cabling infrastructure that maximizes bandwidth while minimizing pathway congestion. The Panduit FWUYL7575KNM030 QuickNet trunk cable assembly delivers both: 24 fibers of OM5 wideband multimode terminated in a small-diameter design that consumes 30 to 40% less cable tray and conduit space than conventional trunk assemblies. At 30 meters (98.4 ft), this pre-terminated trunk bridges cross-connect fields, server rows, or MDFs to IDFs with zero field termination—eliminating the labor, tools, and quality variability of on-site connectorization.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports 40GBASE-SR4 to 150m and 100GBASE-SR4 to 100m per TIA-492-AAAD
- 24-fiber count in small-diameter trunk construction saves 30–40% cable management space vs. traditional assemblies
- 30-meter (98.4 ft) factory-terminated length eliminates field splicing and connector installation
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets IEC 60332-3-24 for indoor and plenum-rated pathways
- Lime green jacket provides rapid visual identification in mixed-fiber environments
- Pre-tested to IL ≤0.35 dB, RL ≥20 dB per TIA-568-C.3 multimode insertion loss limits
- QuickNet design reduces deployment time by 70% compared to field-terminated alternatives
- Exceeds ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568-C.3, and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) connector geometry standards
OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the reach and bandwidth of legacy OM3/OM4 infrastructure without requiring single-mode migration. Where OM4 fiber supports 100GBASE-SR4 to 70 meters, OM5 pushes that to 100 meters—critical headroom in modular data centers with long cross-connect runs. The 850nm laser-optimized core also future-proofs for short-wave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), supporting four 25G lanes across four wavelengths on a single duplex link. Panduit's small-diameter trunk construction wraps these 24 fibers in a jacket profile 30% thinner than standard 24-fiber trunks, translating directly to higher fill ratios in 4-inch cable tray and reduced congestion at vertical riser transitions. In practice, this means fitting 40% more circuits in the same pathway—or reclaiming tray space for future expansion without adding ladder rack.
QuickNet assemblies ship factory-terminated with LC or MPO connectors (model-dependent) pre-polished, tested, and serialized. Insertion loss and return loss test reports accompany each trunk, eliminating the post-install OTDR verification step required for field splices. The LSZH jacket meets European EN 50267-2-1 and IEC 60332-3-24 flame propagation limits, generating minimal smoke and zero halogen acid gas during combustion—mandatory for occupied spaces and air-handling plenums under NFPA 90A. Lime green color-coding differentiates OM5 from aqua (OM3/OM4) and orange (OM1/OM2) multimode trunks at a glance, reducing cross-connection errors during MACs. Installation is pull-and-plug: route the trunk through cable tray or conduit, dress the breakout legs to patch panel ports, and snap connectors into place. No fusion splicer, no cleaning, no end-face inspection microscope required. For 10G-to-100G server refresh projects or greenfield hyperscale builds, the time savings compound across hundreds of trunk runs.
Deploy this trunk in data centers migrating from 10GBASE-SR to 40G/100G Ethernet where structured cabling standards require multimode fiber, or in enterprise campuses linking telecommunications rooms across 30-meter spans. The small-diameter design is purpose-built for overhead cable tray installations in co-location facilities where pathway space is leased by the square inch. OM5's extended reach eliminates the need for single-mode infrastructure in all but the longest intra-building links, preserving compatibility with existing multimode transceiver inventories while supporting next-generation 200G and 400G optics via SWDM encoding. Panduit's factory termination and test process ensures Day One reliability—no field rework, no attenuation margin guesswork, and no return trips for failed links.
