Panduit FWUYL7575LAM069 OM5 24-Fiber Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM069 is a 69-meter OM5 SigCore trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center deployments requiring extended reach and rapid installation. This 24-fiber trunk connects PanMPO Female to PanMPO Female terminations using HD Flex small-diameter cable construction that reduces pathway fill by 30-40% compared to standard trunk assemblies. The lime jacket meets Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flammability requirements for enclosed spaces, while Ultra Insertion Loss performance and Method B polarity ensure reliable 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and future 400G application support. A factory-installed pulling eye on one end streamlines installation through conduit and cable trays in backbone and horizontal distribution runs.
Key Features
- OM5 50µm multimode fiber supports 40G/100G Ethernet with extended reach over OM3/OM4
- 24-fiber PanMPO-to-PanMPO trunk with Method B polarity for proper transmit/receive alignment
- HD Flex small-diameter construction saves 30-40% pathway space vs. conventional trunk cable
- Ultra Insertion Loss rating delivers margin for challenging link budgets and future network speeds
- LSZH jacket complies with IEC 60332-3-24 for fire safety in occupied and plenum spaces
- QuickNet system design enables plug-and-play deployment with pre-terminated, factory-tested assemblies
- Pulling eye on one end simplifies long-distance cable pulls through conduit and overhead tray
- 69-meter (226 ft) length suits inter-rack, inter-row, and floor-to-floor backbone applications
Data center build-outs and expansions demand trunk cable assemblies that balance density, performance, and installation speed. The FWUYL7575LAM069 addresses all three constraints with OM5 fiber that delivers 40GBASE-SR4 reach to 150 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 reach to 150 meters—50% farther than OM4 in SWDM applications and enabling aggregation-layer links that previously required single-mode fiber. The 24-fiber count in a single PanMPO interface replaces twelve duplex LC connections, cutting panel port consumption and eliminating dozens of individual fiber terminations. HD Flex cable construction reduces outside diameter to approximately 8.6mm, allowing installers to fit more trunks in 4-inch conduit, overhead ladder rack, and under-floor pathways without exceeding 40% fill ratio limits. This space efficiency is critical in retrofit projects where adding capacity to existing pathways would otherwise require costly raceway expansion.
Method B polarity is factory-configured to ensure transmit fibers on one end align with receive fibers on the opposite end when connecting switch-to-switch or switch-to-panel. This eliminates field polarity troubleshooting and supports standards-compliant structured cabling architectures per TIA-568-C.3 guidelines. Ultra Insertion Loss performance—tighter than standard insertion loss specifications—provides additional link margin for networks operating near the edge of their power budget, particularly in 100G and future 400G deployments where every tenth of a dB matters. The LSZH jacket meets IEC 60332-3-24 Category C requirements, producing minimal smoke and no halogen acids during combustion. This rating is mandatory for indoor data centers in Europe and increasingly required by U.S. enterprise and colocation facilities concerned with fire safety and equipment protection. Lime cable color provides instant visual identification in mixed OM3/OM4/OM5 infrastructures, reducing the risk of cross-patching incompatible fiber types during maintenance windows.
The factory-installed pulling eye on one end of the FWUYL7575LAM069 allows installers to attach pull tape or rope for long horizontal or vertical runs without stressing the connector or cable jacket. This feature is especially valuable in the 69-meter length, which commonly spans multiple equipment rows or extends from basement meet-me rooms to elevated data halls. QuickNet trunk assemblies ship pre-terminated and factory-tested, with insertion loss and return loss test reports included. This eliminates field termination labor, fusion splicing, and the variability that comes with on-site connector installation—critical when project schedules compress and certification windows are tight. The assembly meets TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5), and RoHS standards, ensuring compatibility with multi-vendor 40G/100G transceivers and global environmental compliance for equipment disposal and recycling programs.
Use the FWUYL7575LAM069 for spine-to-leaf aggregation links in leaf-spine fabrics, top-of-rack to end-of-row distribution, cross-connect-to-panel backbone runs, and inter-building campus links within the 150-meter OM5 reach window. The 24-fiber configuration supports two 12-fiber bidirectional links or parallel optics breakout to twelve duplex LC connections via PanMPO-to-LC fanout modules. Pair with Panduit FZ series cassettes, FAP adapter panels, or direct-attach PanMPO switch modules for a complete QuickNet infrastructure. The 69-meter length bridges the gap between shorter intra-row assemblies and single-mode backbone links, offering a cost-effective multimode solution for medium-distance distribution without sacrificing future bandwidth scalability. For installations requiring UL 2043 plenum rating instead of LSZH, reference Panduit's OFNP-rated OM5 trunk assemblies; for outdoor or inter-building runs, specify armored or OSP-rated assemblies with appropriate environmental protection.
