Panduit FWUYL7575LAM071 QuickNet 24-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM071 delivers 24-fiber OM5 wideband multimode connectivity in a 71-meter trunk assembly engineered for high-density datacenter environments. QuickNet pre-terminated MTP/MPO trunks eliminate field termination labor while the small-diameter construction saves 30 to 40 percent conduit and tray space compared to traditional trunk cables. LSZH jacketing meets plenum and riser fire safety requirements for mission-critical installations. This lime-colored trunk is built for spine-leaf architectures, campus backbone links, and rapid infrastructure deployments where extended reach and space efficiency are non-negotiable.

OM5 wideband multimode fiber extends the capabilities of traditional OM3 and OM4 grades by supporting shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) from 850 nm to 950 nm. The 50-micron core diameter and optimized modal bandwidth enable 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps transmission over 150 meters, and 400 Gbps over 100 meters using parallel optics or SWDM transceivers. This trunk's 24-fiber count maps cleanly to 2×12-fiber MTP/MPO connectors, the standard interface for QSFP28, QSFP56, and QSFP-DD transceivers in modern spine-leaf datacenter fabrics. Small-diameter construction is achieved through tighter fiber buffering and optimized jacket materials—resulting in a trunk cross-section 30 to 40 percent smaller than legacy designs. In practice, this translates to more cables per conduit run, reduced weight loading on overhead tray systems, and improved airflow in enclosed pathways. The LSZH jacket meets NFPA 262 (UL 910) plenum fire test requirements and emits minimal smoke and corrosive halogen gases under fire conditions, critical for occupied spaces and equipment rooms where toxic fumes can damage sensitive electronics or impair egress. The lime jacket color is part of Panduit's expanded color palette for network segmentation: assign specific colors to VLANs, storage networks, or compliance zones, then visually trace connections without pulling cable labels or consulting asbuilt documentation.
Deploy the FWUYL7575LAM071 in spine-leaf datacenter topologies where leaf switches aggregate server traffic and forward it to spine switches over multi-fiber trunks. The 71-meter length is purpose-built for typical raised-floor datacenter layouts: row-to-row connections within a single data hall, IDF-to-MDF links in multi-tenant facilities, or vertical runs between equipment rooms on adjacent floors. Pre-terminated QuickNet assemblies eliminate the cost and inconsistency of field termination—no epoxy curing, no polishing, no insertion loss variability from installer skill gaps. Factory testing ensures each connector meets TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) geometry specs and achieves insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss better than -20 dB. For rapid deployments—new datacenter buildouts, cloud provider expansions, or emergency disaster recovery sites—QuickNet trunks cut installation time by 70 to 80 percent compared to field-terminated alternatives. When you're racing against a go-live deadline or expanding live production environments where maintenance windows are measured in minutes, the difference between pulling a pre-tested trunk and field-terminating 24 individual fibers can determine whether the project stays on schedule. The 71-meter reach also covers campus backbone applications: building-to-building links across a corporate campus, connections between networked AV systems in conference centers, or fiber feeds to remote IDF closets in warehouse or manufacturing facilities where distance exceeds Cat6A's 100-meter limit but doesn't justify the cost of single-mode fiber and SFP+ optics.
OM5's wideband specification (TIA-492-AAAD) defines modal bandwidth across four wavelengths—850 nm, 880 nm, 910 nm, and 940 nm—enabling SWDM transceivers to transmit multiple 25 Gbps or 50 Gbps channels over a single fiber pair. This quadruples effective throughput without adding fiber count, a critical advantage when conduit space is limited or when retrofitting existing pathways in occupied buildings. For 400 Gbps Ethernet, a single 24-fiber trunk supports two independent 400G links using 8-fiber parallel optics (8×50 Gbps), or up to six 400G links using 4-fiber SWDM optics (4×100 Gbps). The small-diameter design is particularly relevant in hyperscale and colocation environments where rack density drives cable congestion: every millimeter of diameter saved translates to more cables per vertical cable manager, less weight on horizontal ladder rack, and better airflow separation between hot and cold aisles. LSZH jacketing is the default choice for datacenters in Europe (where building codes mandate low-smoke materials) and increasingly in North American facilities where operators want to exceed code minimums for fire safety. Unlike PVC-jacketed cables that release hydrochloric acid and dense black smoke under fire conditions, LSZH cables emit low-opacity smoke and no corrosive halogens—protecting both occupants and the millions of dollars in IT equipment that could be damaged by acidic combustion byproducts.
Compliance with TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 ensures interoperability with enterprise structured cabling standards, while TIA-492-AAAD and IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 certification confirms the fiber itself meets OM5 modal bandwidth and attenuation specs at all four SWDM wavelengths. RoHS compliance keeps hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium out of the supply chain, critical for installations in EU member states or organizations with global environmental policies. Panduit's QuickNet manufacturing process includes end-face inspection under 400× magnification, insertion loss testing with an OTDR, and mechanical pull testing on every assembly before shipment—eliminating the \"will it work\" uncertainty of field-built trunks. For datacenter operators planning 100 Gbps or 400 Gbps migrations, this 24-fiber OM5 trunk future-proofs the physical layer: drop in QSFP28 or QSFP-DD optics when the network upgrade happens, and the fiber infrastructure is already rated for the job. The 71-meter reach covers 90 percent of intra-building datacenter runs without requiring expensive single-mode fiber or midspan amplification, keeping BoM costs predictable and installation timelines on track. Whether you're building out a new hyperscale facility, retrofitting an enterprise datacenter for 100G, or deploying a campus backbone for a university or hospital network, the FWUYL7575LAM071 delivers factory-tested reliability, space-efficient design, and the bandwidth headroom to support the next two generations of Ethernet standards.
