Panduit F8BNM5E5EAAM100 OS2 288F I/O Trunk Cable Assembly

Overview

The Panduit F8BNM5E5EAAM100 is a 100-meter (328 ft) OS2 singlemode fiber optic trunk cable assembly designed for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications. It features 288 fibers terminated with Female MTP/MPO connectors on both ends, employing Method A polarity. This LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable with Euroclass Cca fire rating is suitable for riser installations where stringent safety and environmental standards are required. Its 9-micron fiber diameter ensures efficient signal transmission for high-bandwidth, long-distance data links.

Compatibility

This trunk cable assembly is designed for use within the Panduit QuickNet™ fiber optic system ecosystem. It is compatible with standard MTP/MPO fiber optic patch panels, cassette modules, and equipment ports that adhere to TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) standards. Ensure your equipment ports are configured for 288-fiber density and MTP/MPO connectivity. The standard insertion loss (IL) rating is suitable for most enterprise and data center backbone requirements.

Installation Notes

The cable includes pull eyes to facilitate installation. Given the high fiber count (288 fibers), careful management of bend radius is critical during deployment to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage. The LSZH Euroclass Cca rating indicates it meets specific European fire safety standards, making it appropriate for use in buildings where flame retardancy and low smoke emission are mandated. Ensure adequate pathway space for this high-density cable.
