Panduit FD1W12AQDLCZ Opticom 12-Port LC Fiber Drawer

The Panduit FD1W12AQDLCZ delivers high-density fiber termination in a single rack unit, pre-loaded with 12 duplex LC adapters in aqua blue with zirconium sleeves for OM3/OM4 multimode deployments. Built for data center, enterprise backbone, and security camera aggregation points where 10G/40G fiber capacity matters, this 1U drawer eliminates field adapter installation while providing organized cable management in EIA-310-compliant racks. The black powder-coated steel chassis fits standard 19-inch racks, and the zirconium adapter sleeves deliver lower insertion loss and better durability than ceramic alternatives. For integrators running high-bandwidth IP camera backhauls, SAN connections, or structured cabling deployments, this drawer provides 24-fiber capacity (12 duplex ports) in a compact, rack-ready form factor.

Key Features

Pre-loaded with 12 duplex LC adapters (24 fiber capacity) in aqua blue for OM3/OM4 50µm multimode

Zirconium adapter sleeves provide superior durability and lower insertion loss vs. ceramic

1U rack-mount form factor (1.73" H × 17.5" W × 12.1" D) fits standard EIA-310/IEC 60297 racks

Black powder-coated steel construction for demanding data center and telecom environments

Panduit Opticom ecosystem integration for standardized fiber infrastructure

RoHS compliant with industry certification for North American installations

The 12 duplex LC adapters use aqua blue housings, the industry-standard color code for OM3 and OM4 50-micron multimode fiber supporting 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4, and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. Zirconium adapter sleeves surpass ceramic in mechanical strength and thermal stability, reducing the risk of cracking during repeated connection cycles—critical for installations subject to frequent patching or troubleshooting. Each adapter provides duplex connectivity (two fibers per port), yielding 24 total fiber terminations in the 1U chassis. The drawer's steel construction with powder-coat finish resists corrosion and physical damage in high-traffic rack environments, while the 17.5-inch width ensures compatibility with standard 19-inch rack rails and cable management accessories.

This drawer is purpose-built for aggregation points in structured cabling systems: network closets consolidating IP camera uplinks, storage area network (SAN) switch interconnects, or backbone distribution frames in multi-building campuses. The pre-loaded adapter configuration eliminates the labor and inventory overhead of field-installing individual adapters, and the compact 1U footprint preserves vertical rack space for active equipment. The 444.5mm depth accommodates rear cable management arms and slack storage without interfering with adjacent rack-mounted devices. For integrators designing high-resolution camera deployments—where dozens of 4K or multi-sensor cameras feed into fiber-aggregated switches—this drawer provides the termination density needed to keep patch panels organized and scalable as camera counts grow.

As part of Panduit's Opticom fiber management platform, the FD1W12AQDLCZ integrates with Opticom enclosures, patch panels, and cable routing accessories for end-to-end system consistency. EIA-310 and IEC 60297 compliance guarantees fit in both domestic and international rack standards, and RoHS certification satisfies environmental regulations for commercial and government installations. For projects requiring high-density multimode terminations with the reliability of zirconium-sleeved adapters, this drawer delivers field-proven infrastructure that scales with increasing bandwidth demands—whether you're supporting IP surveillance backhaul, enterprise data networks, or AV-over-IP distribution.
