Panduit F8ONM5E5EAAM050 QuickNet OS2 576-Fiber Female MTP Trunk Cable Assembly
The Panduit F8ONM5E5EAAM050 QuickNet trunk delivers 576 fibers of OS2 singlemode capacity in a single factory-terminated assembly, purpose-built for hyperscale datacenter spine interconnects and enterprise campus backbones. Female MTP to Female MTP connectivity with Method A polarity enables rapid deployment between distribution frames, eliminating field termination risk and cutting installation time by 80% compared to breakout-and-splice approaches. At 50 meters, this trunk bridges typical floor-to-floor or building-to-building spans while maintaining the insertion-loss budget required for 40G/100G/400G parallel optics and coherent long-reach transmission.
Key Features
- 576-fiber OS2 singlemode capacity consolidates 48 12-fiber MTP channels in a single trunk, supporting up to 192 duplex 100G links or 48 parallel 400G connections
- Factory-terminated female MTP connectors deliver <0.35 dB average IL per connection, tested and certified to exceed TIA-568-C.3 performance specifications
- Method A polarity mapping ensures plug-and-play compatibility with standard datacenter cross-connect architectures and Tier 1 switch fabric designs
- LSZH Riser jacket rated Euroclass Cca provides low smoke/zero halogen fire safety for plenum-alternative installations and meets European EN 50575 requirements
- Integrated pull-eye enables efficient conduit installation and cable-tray deployment without damaging connectors or fiber during pulls up to 600 lbs tension
- 50-meter length suits floor-to-floor datacenter risers, inter-building campus links, and equipment-row to meet-me-room spans without splicing
- QuickNet factory certification includes insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry testing per IEC 61300-3-35 with serialized test reports
- Yellow jacket color coding aligns with industry-standard OS2 singlemode fiber identification for rapid visual tracing and troubleshooting
OS2 singlemode fiber with 9-micron core diameter supports transmission distances exceeding 10 km at 10G, 40 km at 100G, and up to 80 km for coherent 400G optics, making this trunk the backbone infrastructure for campus and metro-reach deployments. The 576-fiber count consolidates what would otherwise require 48 separate 12-fiber cables into a single managed pathway, dramatically reducing conduit fill, cable-tray congestion, and fiber management panel real estate. Female MTP connectors on both ends interface directly with MTP cassettes, breakout modules, or male MTP adapter panels, providing maximum flexibility in cross-connect architecture. Panduit's QuickNet manufacturing process ensures all 576 fibers are precisely aligned, cleaved, and polished to sub-micron tolerances before final assembly, with automated inspection catching defects that manual field termination would miss. Each trunk ships with insertion-loss test data for every fiber pair, serialized to the cable jacket for as-built documentation and future troubleshooting. The MTP interface supports both 12-fiber and 24-fiber breakout configurations via industry-standard cassettes, letting you scale from 10G to 400G optics without replacing trunk infrastructure.
Method A polarity is the de facto standard for structured cabling systems and Tier 1/Tier 2 datacenter fabrics, ensuring transmit fibers on one end align to receive fibers on the far end without crossover adapters or custom keying. This trunk's LSZH Riser rating qualifies it for installation in cable trays, vertical risers, and horizontal pathways that don't require full plenum rating but still demand low-smoke fire safety—critical for occupied floors, equipment rooms, and spaces below the deck where smoke evacuation is limited. The Euroclass Cca designation meets European CPR (Construction Products Regulation) requirements, essential for international projects or multinational enterprises standardizing on EN 50575-compliant infrastructure. The integrated pull-eye simplifies installation in underground conduit, vertical riser conduit, or long horizontal cable-tray runs where mid-span access is impossible; installers attach pull rope directly to the eye, routing the trunk without stressing the MTP connectors or risking fiber damage from kinking. At 50 meters, this length hits the sweet spot for floor-to-floor datacenter connections (typical 4-meter floor height equals 12 floors of vertical reach with horizontal slack), cross-building campus links up to 164 feet, or equipment-row to central meet-me-room spans in large colocation facilities. Unlike field-terminated solutions, the factory pull-eye is load-rated and positioned to distribute tension across the cable strength members, not the fiber or connectors.
Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 structured cabling standards, TIA-568-C.3 optical fiber specifications, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) MTP connector interface geometry, and GR-409-CORE qualifies this trunk for carrier-grade outside-plant and controlled-environment vault applications. RoHS compliance ensures freedom from lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, meeting procurement requirements for government, healthcare, and environmentally regulated installations. Panduit QuickNet trunks are the proven solution for mission-critical datacenter spine builds, financial trading floors, broadcast facilities, and hyperscale cloud providers where downtime from a bad field termination isn't acceptable and installation speed directly impacts revenue recognition timelines.
