Panduit FWUYL7575LNM011 24-Fiber OM5 QuickNet™ Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit FWUYL7575LNM011 is a factory-terminated 24-fiber OM5 trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density data center and enterprise network deployments requiring extended reach and rapid provisioning. This 11-meter (36-foot) QuickNet™ assembly delivers plug-and-play connectivity between switch fabrics, spine-leaf architectures, and zone distribution enclosures without field termination or fusion splicing. Built on 50-micron wideband multimode fiber with LSZH jacketing, it supports 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet to 150 meters, as well as shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for future 400G migration paths. The small-diameter trunk design consumes 30 to 40 percent less pathway space than legacy round-cable bundles, directly addressing the cable congestion and airflow restriction issues that plague modern hyperscale and colocation facilities.

- Single-unit packaging with protective end caps and pull-through labeling for inventory control and deployment tracking
OM5 fiber represents the current state-of-the-art for multimode data center infrastructure, and the FWUYL7575LNM011 leverages its full capability set. Unlike OM3 (300 MHz·km) and OM4 (550 MHz·km) fibers optimized for single-wavelength 850 nm transmission, OM5 is specified for wideband operation across 850 to 953 nanometers with a minimum effective modal bandwidth of 2470 MHz·km at 850 nm and 1850 MHz·km at 953 nm. This wideband performance is essential for shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), a four-wavelength multiplexing scheme (850/880/910/940 nm) that enables 100 Gbps transmission over a single duplex fiber pair or 400 Gbps over an eight-fiber MTP interface. For immediate deployments, the 24-fiber assembly supports twelve duplex 40GBASE-SR4 or 100GBASE-SR4 links to 150 meters, or six QSFP28/QSFP56 breakout connections in spine-leaf topologies. The 50-micron core diameter ensures compatibility with the installed base of OM3 and OM4 infrastructure while providing the modal bandwidth headroom required for 400GBASE-SR8 and emerging 800G standards. All 24 fibers are individually buffered in 900-micron tight-buffer construction, then ribbonized and jacketed in a crush-resistant, bend-insensitive outer sheath that maintains <0.3 dB insertion loss through tight-radius pathways and vertical cable managers.
The QuickNet™ factory-terminated design eliminates the labor, tooling, and skill-set overhead associated with field fusion splicing or mechanical termination. Each end is factory-polished and tested to TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) endface geometry standards, with insertion loss ≤0.35 dB and return loss ≥-20 dB per mating pair. MTP/MPO connectors use metal guide pins and a push-pull retention mechanism rated for 500+ mating cycles, and removable dust caps protect the endface during storage and staging. The 11-meter (36-foot) length is purpose-built for intra-row connectivity in typical raised-floor or overhead-tray data centers — it spans three to four 42U racks in a hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout without excessive service loops, reducing the cable-management burden in zone distribution areas and eliminating the pathway clutter that obstructs chilled-air delivery to IT equipment intakes. Small-diameter trunk construction further reduces physical volume: traditional round-cable assemblies built from twelve duplex LC or six MTP cables create a bundle diameter of 20-30 mm and require large-radius bend paths that consume valuable tray real estate. The FWUYL7575LNM011 trunk measures approximately 8-10 mm in diameter and supports bend radii as tight as ten times cable diameter under load, enabling direct routing through vertical managers, horizontal ring systems, and congested ladder-rack intersections without de-rating optical performance. This space efficiency is critical in hyperscale and colocation environments where pathway utilization often exceeds 60 percent fill and every square centimeter of tray capacity translates to additional fiber circuits or deferred infrastructure expansion.
LSZH jacketing is specified for installations subject to European EN 50399 or North American NFPA 75/90A fire codes, particularly in under-floor plenums, telecommunications rooms, and equipment spaces without dedicated HVAC smoke evacuation. The lime outer jacket provides immediate visual differentiation from OM3 (aqua) and OM4 (aqua/erika violet) cables during audits or MAC operations, and complies with TIA-568-C.3 Annex F color-coding recommendations for OM5 fiber. Panduit's QuickNet™ assembly program includes serialized labeling on both connector boots and the cable jacket at one-meter intervals, simplifying change-order documentation and enabling automated cable-management databases tied to DCIM or IP address management (IPAM) platforms. The single-unit package quantity is appropriate for staged deployments, retrofit projects, or integrator stock—data center teams running spine-leaf refresh cycles or migrating from 10GBASE-SR to 40G/100G fabrics can order exact cable counts without the minimum-order constraints or lead times associated with bulk fiber reels and field-termination labor. For brownfield expansions where pathway access is restricted or fusion-splicing schedules conflict with 24/7 uptime requirements, the pre-terminated trunk eliminates the hot-work permit, fiber-scrap disposal, and OTDR test-and-turn delays that typically extend cutovers by two to three business days per installation.
