Panduit F8BNM5ENNAAM100 Fiber Optic Trunk Cable Assembly
Overview
The Panduit F8BNM5ENNAAM100 is a 288-fiber OS2 trunk cable assembly designed for high-density backbone connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. With a total length of 100 meters (328 feet), this cable provides the necessary reach for large-scale deployments, connecting core network equipment to distribution points. Its yellow, OFNR/LSZH/CCA rated jacket ensures compliance with plenum and riser requirements, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces. This assembly utilizes MPO EA connectors for efficient high-fiber-count termination.
Compatibility
This Panduit QuickNet™ fiber optic trunk cable assembly is engineered to integrate with Panduit's QuickNet™ fiber optic systems and compatible network infrastructure. It is designed for use with MPO EA connectors and is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring interoperability with other certified fiber optic components within a structured cabling system. Verify compatibility with your specific network switch, patch panel, and fiber optic cassette manufacturer.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 9-micron fiber diameter, consistent with OS2 single-mode specifications, and a yellow jacket indicating its OFNR/LSZH/CCA rating. Adherence to the specified standards (ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, etc.) is crucial for performance. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity and avoid performance degradation. The MPO EA connectors require specific handling and cleaning procedures to prevent contamination, which can significantly impact optical performance.
