Panduit F8RNM5E5EANM100 OS2 864-Fiber MPO Trunk Cable Assembly

Overview

The Panduit F8RNM5E5EANM100 is a pre-terminated OS2 singlemode trunk cable assembly engineered for high-density backbone interconnects in fiber optic infrastructure deployments. At 864 fibers over a 100-meter (328.1 ft) run, this single assembly replaces what would otherwise be dozens of discrete cable runs — meaning your installation crew spends time on deployment, not field termination. The MPO Female connectors on both ends plug directly into MPO-based cassettes, panels, and adapter modules, eliminating the cleaving, polishing, and testing steps that slow pre-terminated alternatives down. OS2 9/125µm singlemode glass supports low-loss, long-distance transmission, making this a fit for inter-building runs, campus backbone segments, and high-count intra-data-center trunk routes where distances exceed multimode limits. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket satisfies fire-code requirements in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where toxic fume generation must be minimized — a hard requirement in many European installations and increasingly enforced in U.S. enterprise facilities. OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating qualifies it for vertical between-floor riser pathways. Standards compliance with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ITU-T G.652.D means insertion loss and return loss performance will hold up to structured cabling audit requirements — critical if you're certifying infrastructure for SLA-backed uptime commitments.

Compatibility

This trunk is designed for use with any Panduit OptiCom MPO-based high-density fiber management system, including Panduit's FAP and FAPZ series fiber adapter panels and OptiCom HD Flex systems that accept 864-fiber trunk count modules. Compatible with third-party MPO infrastructure from Corning, CommScope, Belden, and Legrand where MPO Female (non-pinned) mating to the panel's MPO adapter is supported. Confirm whether your panel modules require pinned or non-pinned MPO connectors before ordering — this assembly uses Female (non-pinned) connectors on both ends, which mates to pinned Male connectors on the cassette or panel side. Suitable for data center top-of-rack to end-of-row aggregation, telecommunications room to equipment room interconnects, and entrance facility backbone links where OS2 reach and LSZH compliance are both required.

Installation Notes

At 864 fibers, this assembly will have a significant bend radius requirement — do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for the cable diameter during pull or in tray routing. Deploy into appropriately sized cable management tray; do not force into undersized conduit or tie-wrap excessively tight. Verify pull tension limits before installation in conduit runs. The 100-meter length is factory-set — measure your route carefully including vertical drops, tray sweeps, and service loops before specifying this length. MPO connectors are factory-polished and test-verified; do not reterminate in the field. Clean MPO ferrules with appropriate MPO cleaning tools before mating; contamination on a 12- or 24-fiber MPO ferrule degrades all channels simultaneously. Confirm fiber count compatibility at the panel level — not all MPO panels support 864-fiber trunks in a single housing footprint.
