Panduit OPTICOM MPO-16 M APC TO LC CASS - FC3WO-16M-10U

Panduit FC3WO-16M-10U MPO-16 M APC to LC Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FC3WO-16M-10U is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed for MPO/MTP connectivity, terminating 16 fibers with an MPO/MTP (12-fiber) connector on one side and breaking out to 16 LC duplex connectors on the other. This unit is engineered for data center and enterprise backbone applications where space is at a premium and efficient fiber management is critical. It simplifies the transition from high-density trunk cables to standard LC patch cords, reducing installation complexity and potential points of failure in structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's high-density fiber optic enclosures, including the Panduit High-Density Fiber Optic Enclosures and Patch Panels. It is compatible with MPO/MTP trunk cables utilizing APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on the MPO connector, ensuring optimal signal integrity for single-mode applications. It supports standard LC duplex patch cords for connecting to active equipment like switches and servers.

Installation Notes

Install this cassette into compatible Panduit high-density fiber optic enclosures. Ensure the MPO connector is clean and properly aligned before insertion to avoid damage to the fiber end-face. The LC duplex connectors are standard, requiring no special tools for patching. Proper cable management practices should be followed to maintain bend radius and prevent signal loss.
