Panduit FWUYL7575LAM092 QuickNet 24-Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LAM092 is a factory-terminated 24-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly designed for high-density datacenter backbone applications requiring extended reach and rapid deployment. At 92 meters (302 feet), this LSZH-rated trunk delivers wideband multimode performance for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications while occupying 30 to 40 percent less pathway space than traditional trunk designs. QuickNet factory termination eliminates field splicing, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent insertion loss across all 24 fibers.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for 40G/100G applications up to 150 meters
- 24-fiber count provides backbone-grade capacity for spine-leaf or core-distribution datacenter topologies
- Small-diameter trunk design reduces conduit fill by 30-40% compared to bundled duplex assemblies, critical in congested overhead tray and underfloor pathways
- 92-meter length suits typical intra-building datacenter runs between equipment rooms, meet-me rooms, or distributed aggregation closets
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets plenum safety requirements and limits toxic emissions in fire scenarios
- Factory-terminated with ferrule end-face geometry tested to IEC 61300-3-35; eliminates field labor and reduces insertion loss variability
- Lime jacket color provides immediate visual identification in multi-tier fiber infrastructures where color-coding separates production, storage, or management networks
- QuickNet sub-brand indicates plug-and-play design—no splicing, polishing, or connector installation required on-site
OM5 fiber (ISO/IEC 11801 designation) is an evolution of OM4 wideband multimode optimized for shortwave wavelength division multiplexing across 850 nm, 880 nm, 910 nm, and 940 nm windows. While OM4 is validated at 850 nm only, OM5's extended modal bandwidth enables SWDM transceivers to transmit four parallel wavelengths over a single duplex pair, quadrupling effective throughput without additional fibers. For 100GBASE-SR4 over traditional OM4, you need eight fibers (four TX, four RX); with OM5 and SWDM optics, two fibers suffice. However, this 24-fiber trunk is typically deployed in parallel-optic configurations where each 100G link consumes eight fibers (MTP-8 breakout to duplex LC pairs), delivering three full 100G links per trunk or twelve 40G links. The 92-meter length aligns with TIA-568 permanent link distance allowances and suits horizontal campus datacenter designs where aggregation switches reside in centralized equipment rooms serving distributed top-of-rack clusters within a 100-meter radius. OM5's 50-micron core supports 40GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters on OM4-grade links; OM5-specific SWDM applications extend those distances but require SWDM-capable transceivers, which remain less common than parallel optics in 2026 enterprise deployments.
High-density datacenter environments face two recurring challenges: pathway congestion and installation labor costs. Traditional field-terminated fiber deployments require skilled technicians to cleave, polish, and test each connector—error-prone work that introduces variability in insertion loss and return loss. A single poor termination can degrade a 100G link, forcing troubleshooting across 24 strands. Panduit's QuickNet factory-terminated assemblies arrive with all connectors pre-installed and interferometrically tested; insertion loss is documented on a per-fiber test report, and end-face geometry (radius of curvature, apex offset, fiber height) conforms to IEC 61300-3-35 limits. You pull the trunk, plug both ends into MTP cassettes or breakout modules, and verify continuity—no consumables, no polishing films, no rework. The small-diameter construction compounds the space advantage: a 24-fiber trunk occupies roughly the same cross-sectional area as six duplex LC assemblies, but those six duplexes provide only 12 fibers. In congested overhead cable tray with hundreds of trunk runs, the 30-40% diameter reduction translates to meaningful capacity headroom and improved airflow around hot-aisle containment systems. The LSZH jacket is non-negotiable in plenum-rated spaces; PVC jackets emit hydrochloric acid and dense smoke when burned, a life-safety hazard in occupied equipment rooms. LSZH compounds meet IEC 60754 halogen-content limits and produce lower smoke density per ASTM E662, ensuring compliance with NFPA 90A and international building codes for air-handling spaces.
The FWUYL7575LAM092 meets ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2, TIA-568-C.3 (optical fiber cabling), TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5 ferrule geometry), and TIA-492-AAAD (OM5 fiber performance), with RoHS material compliance for European and California installations. Panduit's manufacturing process includes automated connector insertion, epoxy cure profiling, and 100% end-face inspection via interferometric microscopy, ensuring consistent performance across production lots. This specific 92-meter length is optimized for intra-building backbone scenarios—longer than typical rack-to-rack horizontals (5-30 meters) but shorter than inter-building campus links (300+ meters)—making it ideal for connecting main distribution areas to intermediate distribution frames in multi-floor colocation facilities, financial trading floors, or hyper-scale compute clusters where modularity and speed of deployment dictate infrastructure design.
