Panduit OPTICOM MPO-16 M APC TO LC CASS - FC3ZO-16M-10U

Panduit FC3ZO-16M-10U Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FC3ZO-16M-10U is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed for MPO-16 (16-fiber) connections terminating to LC duplex connectors. This unit facilitates efficient fiber management and patching within structured cabling systems, particularly in data center and enterprise network environments where space is at a premium. It ensures a clean transition from a multi-fiber trunk to individual fiber links, simplifying cable runs and reducing potential points of failure. The FC3ZO-16M-10U is engineered for performance and reliability in demanding network infrastructures.

Compatibility

This cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's OPTICOM fiber optic enclosures and patch panels. It supports MPO-16 (16-fiber) trunk cables with APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors for low return loss. The output is LC duplex, compatible with standard LC patch cords and network equipment ports. Specific compatibility extends to Panduit's 1RU and 2RU fiber optic rack systems and wall-mount enclosures that accept OPTICOM cassettes.

Installation Notes

The FC3ZO-16M-10U slides into compatible Panduit OPTICOM fiber optic enclosures. Ensure the MPO trunk cable connector is clean and free of debris before insertion to prevent damage and maintain signal integrity. The LC duplex connectors are standard and require no special tools for patching. Proper cable management practices should be followed to avoid excessive bend radius on both the MPO trunk and the LC patch cords.
