Panduit OPTICOM MPO-16 M APC TO LC CASS - FC3WO-16M-10U2

Panduit FC3WO-16M-10U2 MPO-16 M APC to LC Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FC3WO-16M-10U2 is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed for efficient termination and patching within Panduit's fiber optic enclosures. It converts a 16-fiber MPO/MTP (MPO-16) connection to 16 individual LC duplex connections, simplifying cable management and increasing port density in data center and enterprise network environments. This cassette utilizes APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on the MPO connector, minimizing back reflection for applications sensitive to signal loss.

Compatibility

This cassette is engineered for use within Panduit's OPTICOM fiber optic enclosure systems. It is compatible with MPO-16 (16-fiber) trunk cables featuring APC connectors. The LC duplex connectors are standard for patching to network switches, servers, and other active equipment requiring LC connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation involves sliding the cassette into a compatible Panduit fiber optic enclosure frame. Ensure the MPO connector is fully seated and the LC duplex connectors are properly aligned before making patch cord connections. The APC polish on the MPO connector requires careful handling to avoid contamination or damage, which can degrade performance.
