Panduit FC3ZO-16M-10U MPO-16 to LC Duplex OM4 Cassette
Overview
The Panduit FC3ZO-16M-10U is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed for structured cabling systems. It terminates 16 fibers of OM4 multimode optical cable into a standard MPO-16 connector on the rear and provides 12 duplex LC connectors on the front. This configuration is ideal for high-speed data center interconnects and backbone applications where maximizing port density is critical. The U2 polarity ensures correct signal pathing for standard network configurations.
Compatibility
This cassette is designed for use within Panduit fiber optic enclosures and patch panels that accept MPO-16 cassettes. It is compatible with OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure, supporting 10/40/100 GbE and higher data rates. The duplex LC connectors are standard for server and switch connections in enterprise and data center environments.
Installation Notes
The FC3ZO-16M-10U cassette utilizes standard U2 polarity, which is critical for maintaining correct transmit/receive pathways in a structured cabling system. Ensure the MPO-16 connector on the incoming fiber trunk cable is also configured for U2 polarity to establish a functional link. Standard insertion loss specifications apply; verify your overall link budget.
