Panduit FWUYL7575LAM009 QuickNet OM5 24-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM009 is a 9-meter OM5 wideband multimode trunk assembly with 24 fibers terminated PanMPO Female to PanMPO Female. Built for 40/100/400G spine-leaf interconnects in space-constrained datacenter racks, this QuickNet HD Flex trunk delivers Method B polarity, Ultra Insertion Loss performance, and LSZH fire compliance in a reduced-diameter package that uses 30-40% less pathway space than traditional round trunk designs. The lime jacket color follows TIA-598-E identification standards for OM5 fiber.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber (850-953nm) supports SWDM multiplexing for 400GBASE-SR8 and future 800G applications
- 24-fiber count in PanMPO-to-PanMPO Female termination configuration
- Method B polarity (key-up to key-down strand mapping) for duplex LC breakout compatibility without field re-pinning
- HD Flex transition design with reinforced bend-radius management at connector-to-cable interface
- Ultra Insertion Loss grade - under 0.35dB typical per fiber pair vs. 0.5dB standard grade
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket meets IEC 60332-3-24 flame propagation and IEC 61034-2 smoke density limits
- 9-meter cable length (29.52 ft) covers typical top-of-rack to end-of-row distances in single pre-terminated run
- Pulling eye on one end for J-hook and cable-tray installation without mid-span handling
- 30-40% space savings vs. legacy 24-fiber round trunk construction - critical for high-density rack pathway management
- Lime jacket color for immediate OM5 identification per TIA-598-E, preventing field mix-ups with OM3/OM4 trunks
- 50-micron fiber core diameter optimized for 40/100/400G short-reach datacenter links
- Factory-tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA-568-C.3 insertion loss and return loss limits with serialized test data
OM5 fiber supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) across 850, 880, 910, and 940nm channels, enabling 100Gbps-per-fiber-pair transmission for 400GBASE-SR8 and emerging 800G applications. The QuickNet HD Flex transition uses a reinforced bend-radius management structure at the connector-to-cable interface, allowing tighter routing in zero-U cable managers and vertical exhaust paths without exceeding the 7.5mm minimum bend radius that degrades insertion loss and risks fiber fracture. Method B polarity (per TIA-568-C.0 Annex A) aligns with key-up to key-down strand mapping for duplex LC breakout modules - when you transition this trunk to 12 duplex channels via an MTP-to-LC cassette, transmit and receive pairs auto-align without field re-pinning or Type-A/Type-B crossover adapters. Ultra Insertion Loss certification means each fiber pair stays under 0.35dB typical insertion loss (compared to 0.5dB for standard-grade assemblies), giving you an extra 0.3dB margin per connection point for longer campus backbone runs, higher split-ratio additions, or aged fiber plant with elevated macro-bend loss.
Datacenter operators migrating from 10G leaf switches to 100G or 400G spine fabrics face two critical infrastructure bottlenecks: rack pathway congestion from cable bundle accumulation, and insertion loss budget exhaustion when adding distribution panels and duplex breakout cassettes. This trunk assembly solves both constraints. The reduced-diameter QuickNet construction uses 30-40% less horizontal and vertical pathway space than legacy 24-fiber round trunks, freeing room for power distribution units, cable management arms, and cooling airflow - essential when rack densities exceed 15kW and exhaust temperatures approach ASHRAE A3/A4 thermal limits. The 9-meter length covers typical top-of-rack to end-of-row distances (25-30 feet measured along overhead ladder rack or underfloor grid) in a single pre-terminated run, eliminating fusion splices and their associated 0.1-0.3dB loss per joint plus the labor cost of on-site termination and OTDR verification. For 400GBASE-SR8 links (8 fiber pairs, 100-meter reach on OM5), you can run two full 400G links per trunk with four fibers remaining for future growth or out-of-band management channels. The pulling eye on one end integrates with standard J-hook and cable-tray installations - thread your pull line through the eye, route the trunk overhead or underfloor, dress it into the vertical cable manager, and terminate at the switch or breakout panel - no mid-span handling that risks kinking the HD Flex zone or unseating the MPO ferrule endface.
This assembly is factory-tested to ISO/IEC 11801 Category OM5 and TIA-568-C.3 insertion loss and return loss limits, with serialized test data available for As-Built documentation packages and LEED MRc5 commissioning reports. The LSZH jacket formulation meets IEC 60332-3-24 vertical flame propagation requirements and IEC 61034-2 smoke density limits (light transmittance greater than 60%), satisfying European EN 50173-series installations and North American plenum-equivalent applications where PVC chlorine off-gassing is prohibited by local fire codes or tenant lease agreements. The lime jacket color follows TIA-598-E Annex B color-coding for OM5 fiber types, providing immediate visual identification during maintenance windows and preventing accidental cross-connection with aqua OM3 or erika violet OM4 trunks during MAC work. For integrators deploying 400G leaf-spine fabrics with 100-meter effective reach requirements, this trunk delivers the mechanical durability, insertion loss performance, pathway efficiency, and fire-safety compliance needed to keep end-to-end insertion budgets under 1.5dB while maintaining 1U switch density and overhead clearance for hot-aisle containment systems.
