Panduit FWUYL7575LAM051 QuickNet™ 24-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM051 is a 24-fiber OM5 multimode trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center installations where space constraints, extended reach, and rapid deployment are critical. Spanning 51 meters (167.32 ft), this pre-terminated QuickNet™ trunk cable uses small-diameter construction to reduce pathway congestion by 30 to 40% compared to traditional trunk assemblies—essential in cable-dense MDA, HDA, and spine-leaf environments. The LSZH jacket meets strict flammability requirements for enclosed spaces, while the lime color provides instant visual identification in mixed-fiber installations. OM5 fiber supports 40G and 100G Ethernet over extended distances using short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM), future-proofing your infrastructure for next-generation applications.

- Compatible with MPO, LC, and other standard multimode connector interfaces (connector type varies by configuration)
OM5 fiber (also known as wideband multimode fiber, or WBMMF) is optimized for short-wave division multiplexing (SWDM) transmission, enabling 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 links to reach up to 150 meters over four wavelengths on a single duplex fiber pair—a significant reach extension compared to OM4's 100-meter limit for 100G applications. The 50µm core diameter maintains full backward compatibility with OM3 and OM4 systems, allowing you to integrate this trunk assembly into existing multimode infrastructures without forfeiting performance. Panduit's small-diameter trunk cable construction addresses a persistent challenge in modern data centers: pathway congestion. Traditional 24-fiber trunk cables often exceed 0.5 inches in diameter, consuming valuable conduit and cable tray real estate. This assembly's reduced cross-section frees 30 to 40% of that space, enabling higher cable counts in fixed pathways and simplifying moves, adds, and changes (MAC) work. In spine-leaf architectures where dozens of trunk cables converge at top-of-rack switches and aggregation points, that space savings translates directly to improved airflow, reduced installation labor, and the ability to scale fiber counts without infrastructure redesign. The LSZH jacket is a hard requirement in many enclosed data center environments; standard PVC jackets release toxic halogen gases and dense smoke during combustion, creating life-safety hazards and corrosive damage to electronic equipment. LSZH compounds meet IEC 60754 and IEC 61034 flammability standards, making this trunk assembly code-compliant for use in air-handling plenums, raised-floor installations, and jurisdictions with strict fire-safety regulations.
The 51-meter length is a strategic choice for data center deployments. Most single-floor MDA (main distribution area) to HDA (horizontal distribution area) runs fall between 30 and 90 meters; 51 meters covers the majority of these installations without excess slack or the need for mid-span splice points. For multi-floor vertical risers, this length handles typical floor-to-floor distances in commercial buildings (12 to 15 feet per floor) across three to four stories, including horizontal distribution at each endpoint. Pre-terminated trunk assemblies eliminate field termination labor—no epoxy curing, no connector polishing, no end-face inspection at the install site. Each QuickNet™ assembly ships factory-tested for insertion loss, return loss, and polarity, with test reports available upon request. This factory validation reduces troubleshooting time during commissioning; if a link fails certification, you know the issue lies in patch cords, transceivers, or active equipment rather than the trunk infrastructure. Installation time drops by 60 to 80% compared to field-terminated solutions, and you avoid the variability introduced by technician skill levels and environmental conditions at the job site. The lime jacket color aligns with TIA-598-D color coding for OM5 fiber, but more importantly, it provides instant visual differentiation in environments running mixed fiber types (OM3 aqua, OM4 magenta/aqua, single-mode yellow). When you're tracing a specific link in a congested cable tray or troubleshooting a failed path, that high-visibility lime jacket cuts identification time from minutes to seconds.
This assembly meets TIA-492-AAAD performance specifications for OM5 fiber (minimum 3500 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850 nm, 1850 MHz·km at 950 nm) and conforms to IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 geometry standards, ensuring interoperability with any standards-compliant transceiver and patch cord. RoHS compliance is critical for organizations tracking hazardous substance restrictions under EU and California regulations; non-compliant cabling can create liability during equipment disposal or building decommissioning. Panduit factory-assembles these trunks in ISO 9001-certified facilities with automated polishing and end-face inspection, delivering consistently low insertion loss (typically ≤0.35 dB per mated connector pair) that meets or exceeds TIA-568-C.3 channel limits. The lime color coding integrates seamlessly into Panduit's broader QuickNet™ fiber system, supporting phased migrations from OM3/OM4 to OM5 without requiring forklift upgrades of your entire structured cabling plant. For integrators managing carrier-grade or hyperscale data center builds, this trunk assembly provides a deterministic, tested, warrantied fiber link that eliminates the guesswork and rework costs associated with field termination.
