Panduit FWUYL7575LAM060 QuickNet OM5 24-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM060 delivers 24-fiber OM5 SigCore connectivity across 60 meters of low-smoke zero-halogen trunk cable, purpose-built for wideband multimode deployments in high-density data centers. Factory-terminated PanMPO female connectors on both ends eliminate field termination risk while Method B polarity and ultra insertion loss grading ensure predictable 40G/100G/400G link performance in structured MPO backbone architectures. The HD Flex transition design and lime-green LSZH jacket reduce pathway congestion by 30-40% compared to legacy 24-fiber trunks, and the integrated pulling eye simplifies installation in congested cable trays and vertical pathways.
Key Features
- OM5 SigCore wideband multimode fiber rated for 850-953 nm SWDM transmission, supporting 100GBASE-SR4 to 150m and 400GBASE-SR8 to 100m over duplex fiber pairs
- 24-fiber count in PanMPO-to-PanMPO female configuration with Method B polarity, directly compatible with Panduit Opti-Core cassettes and QuickNet infrastructure modules
- Ultra insertion loss performance (≤0.25 dB typical per connection) verified at 850 nm, reducing link-budget uncertainty in multi-tier spine-leaf topologies
- Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60754 flame/toxicity standards for enclosed pathways and international datacenter compliance
- HD Flex small-diameter cable construction (≤4.8 mm outer diameter) saves 30-40% tray fill compared to round-jacket trunks, critical in 6 RU fiber panels and overhead ladder-rack runs
- 60-meter (196.85 ft) length bridges extended horizontal or riser distances in multi-floor datacenters without mid-span splices
- Factory-terminated and 100% insertion-loss tested at 850/1300 nm before shipment, eliminating field polishing labor and end-face contamination risk
- Integrated pulling eye on one end rated for up to 100 lbf (445 N) installation tension in conduit or vertical cable-management systems
- Lime-green jacket color simplifies OM5 cable identification per TIA-598-D and OM4/OM3 segregation in mixed-generation fiber plants
OM5 fiber extends the wideband multimode standard to four-wavelength short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), transmitting 100G or 400G Ethernet over fewer fiber pairs than OM3 or OM4 equivalents. This trunk's SigCore-grade fiber meets TIA-492-AAAD effective modal bandwidth (EMB) minimums of 4700 MHz·km at 850 nm and 2470 MHz·km at 953 nm, ensuring margin for 100GBASE-SR4 BiDi (100 m reach over duplex LC) and 400GBASE-SR4.2 (70 m over eight fibers). The ultra insertion loss tier guarantees ≤0.35 dB maximum per mated connector pair, preserving link budget in cassette-based breakout architectures where a single trunk feeds twelve duplex LC ports through Opti-Core or FHD modules. Method B polarity (key-up to key-down) aligns with TIA-568-C.0 Annex B structured cabling rules, eliminating the need for Type A-to-B crossover adapters when pairing trunks with cassette modules or switch MPO ports. Every PanMPO connector ships with a dust cap and has been end-face inspected under IEC 61300-3-35 (≤3% core obscuration, ≤0.5% total defect area) to prevent insertion-loss drift from launch-condition changes.
In spine-leaf datacenter topologies the 60-meter trunk length supports both horizontal row-to-row connections (up to 50 m) and single-floor riser runs from equipment distribution area (EDA) to main distribution area (MDA) without mid-span fusion splices or interconnects that add 0.1-0.3 dB per junction. The HD Flex small-diameter design reduces cable bundle outer diameter by approximately 35% versus round-jacketed equivalents—critical when filling 6 RU fiber panels that house 144+ LC ports or routing through 4-inch J-hooks in overhead pathways shared with power and copper infrastructure. LSZH jacketing is mandatory in European Union datacenters per EN 50575 (Euroclass Cca or higher) and is increasingly specified in North American colocation facilities to meet ASHRAE TC 9.9 air-quality guidelines for underfloor and above-ceiling spaces. The pulling eye anchors onto standard cable-grip hardware or fish-tape swivels, allowing installers to pull the full 60-meter length through 1.25-inch conduit or vertical cable managers without applying jacket stress that could degrade fiber attenuation. Pre-terminated trunks eliminate the field labor cost of epoxy-polish termination (approximately 15 minutes per MPO connector) and the recurring expense of end-face cleaning supplies, while factory test reports provide auditable insertion-loss and return-loss data for TIA-526-14-C Tier 1 or Tier 2 certification against owner's project requirements.
QuickNet trunks integrate into Panduit's modular fiber infrastructure ecosystem alongside Opti-Core cassette modules for MPO-to-LC breakout, FHD high-density adapter panels for cross-connect architectures, and WFE wall-mount enclosures for zone distribution. The 24-fiber configuration supports dual 12-fiber MPO channels—enabling parallel optics like 40GBASE-SR4 (four-lane 10G) or 100GBASE-SR4 (four-lane 25G) across each 12-fiber group, or consolidated 400GBASE-SR8 transmission using all 24 strands in eight-lane 50G PAM4 configurations. The lime-green OM5 jacket immediately distinguishes wideband fiber from aqua OM3, erika violet OM4, or yellow singlemode during moves-adds-changes, reducing the risk of plugging 100G SR4 transceivers into OM3 infrastructure that only supports 70-meter reach instead of OM5's 150-meter capability. For installations requiring tighter bend radius in zero-U vertical managers or behind-panel routing, pair this trunk with Panduit's bend-insensitive OM5 patch cords to maintain ≤0.5 dB total channel loss across a three-interconnect link.
The FWUYL7575LAM060 meets ISO/IEC 11801 Category OM5, TIA-568-C.3 performance, TIA/EIA-568-C.1 commercial building standards, and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) MPO connector geometry, and is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant for restriction of hazardous substances. Panduit backs QuickNet trunk assemblies with a manufacturer warranty covering materials and workmanship—combine this 60-meter trunk with shorter 15 m or 30 m variants (FWUYL7575LAM015, FWUYL7575LAM030) for zone-to-core tiered topologies, or deploy alongside OM5 breakout modules and LC uniboot patch cords for a fully validated end-to-end 100G/400G multimode infrastructure that scales from initial 12-fiber deployment to 576-fiber backbone capacity without retermination, pathway redesign, or insertion-loss margin erosion across technology refresh cycles.
