Panduit F8RNM5ENNABM010 OS2 864-Fiber MPO Trunk Cable Assembly
Overview
The Panduit F8RNM5ENNABM010 is a pre-terminated OS2 singlemode trunk cable assembly carrying 864 fibers over a 10-meter (32.8 ft) run, terminated with MPO Female connectors on each end. Designed for high-density fiber optic infrastructure in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities, this assembly eliminates field termination entirely — you pull it in, plug it in, and the link is live. At 864 fibers in a single trunk, this is purpose-built for hyperscale or enterprise core deployments where consolidating fiber count per conduit run directly reduces pathway congestion and installation time. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket meets strict fire safety requirements in enclosed or plenum-adjacent spaces where halogen off-gassing during a fire event is a life-safety concern — a non-negotiable specification in many European installations and increasingly specified in US enterprise builds. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating satisfies riser-rated pathway requirements without the added cost of plenum (OFNP) where not required. Singlemode OS2 glass (9/125µm, ITU-T G.652.D) supports the long-distance, high-bandwidth runs that multimode cannot — if your architecture calls for 100G, 400G, or beyond over distances exceeding ~100m, OS2 is the correct fiber type.
Compatibility
This trunk is compatible with any Panduit high-density fiber infrastructure using standard MPO Female interfaces, including Panduit's OptiCom and QuickNet fiber cassette and panel systems. MPO Female connectors are the industry-standard interface for high-density fiber patch panels, cassette modules, and breakout modules from major manufacturers including Panduit, Corning, CommScope, and Belden. Verify that your panels or cassette modules present a corresponding MPO Male port (the trunk's MPO Female mates to an MPO Male panel port). 864-fiber count trunks require high-density cassette frames capable of housing sufficient modules to terminate all fibers — plan frame and cassette capacity before ordering. Standards compliance (TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, ITU-T G.652.D) ensures interoperability with structured cabling systems designed to these specifications. Consult your fiber infrastructure planning guide to confirm pathway fill, bend radius allocation, and frame capacity before deploying a trunk of this density.
Installation Notes
MPO connectors are polarity-sensitive — confirm polarity method (Method A, B, or C per TIA-568.3-D) matches your panels and patch cords before pulling. At 864 fibers, this trunk will have a substantially larger outer diameter than standard low-count trunks; verify conduit fill calculations and minimum bend radius compliance for the installed path. LSZH jacketing is less flexible than standard PVC at low temperatures — avoid installation in ambient conditions below the manufacturer's rated install temperature. Store and deploy with MPO dust caps installed until the moment of connection to protect the high-fiber-count ferrule array.
