Panduit OPTICOM MPO-16 M APC TO LC CASS - FC3SO-16M-10U2

Panduit FC3SO-16M-10U2 MPO to LC Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FC3SO-16M-10U2 is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed to transition from a 16-fiber MPO/MTP connector to 16 individual LC connectors. This unit is essential for structured cabling systems in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms where maximizing port density and simplifying fiber management are critical. It facilitates efficient patching between backbone MPO trunk cables and LC-terminated equipment, such as servers, switches, and patch panels, within a Panduit OPTICOM enclosure or compatible chassis.

Compatibility

This cassette is engineered for use with Panduit OPTICOM fiber optic enclosures and chassis. It is compatible with standard 16-fiber MPO/MTP connectors (specifically MPO-16 M APC) and standard LC duplex connectors. Ensure your existing infrastructure utilizes compatible MPO trunk cables and LC patch cords for seamless integration. It is designed to fit within Panduit's high-density fiber management solutions, providing a standardized interface for fiber optic connectivity.

Installation Notes

The FC3SO-16M-10U2 slides into compatible Panduit OPTICOM fiber optic enclosures or chassis. Ensure the MPO connector is clean and properly aligned before insertion. The LC connectors are keyed for correct polarity. No specialized tools are required for installation into the chassis; however, proper fiber optic cleaning procedures should be followed for all connector end-faces to maintain signal integrity and prevent performance degradation. The cassette is designed for tool-less insertion and removal from compatible Panduit frames.
