Panduit F8RNM5ENNABM050 864-Fiber OS2 Singlemode MPO Trunk Cable Assembly
Overview
The Panduit F8RNM5ENNABM050 is a pre-terminated 864-fiber OS2 singlemode trunk cable assembly, 50 meters (164.1 ft) in length, terminated with MPO Female connectors at both ends. At 864 fibers, this is a high-density backbone solution designed for hyperscale data centers, large telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where pulling and field-terminating hundreds of individual strands is not viable. Pre-termination eliminates on-site splicing labor and associated insertion-loss variables — the cable arrives tested and ready to route directly between high-density MPO-based panels, cassettes, or active equipment ports.
Compatibility
Designed for deployment with high-density MPO-based fiber infrastructure: Panduit's QuickNet and OptiCom MPO cassette systems, MPO patch panels, and multi-fiber trunk distribution frames that accept MPO Female connectors. The OS2 9/125µm fiber type is compatible with singlemode transceivers including 10GBase-LR, 40GBase-LR4, 100GBase-LR4, and 400GBase-LR8 optics operating on singlemode plant. Not compatible with multimode (OM3/OM4/OM5) cassettes, panels, or transceivers — verify singlemode infrastructure end-to-end before ordering. Standards compliance with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ITU-T G.652.D confirms interoperability with structured cabling systems built to these specs.
Installation Notes
The LSZH outer jacket makes this assembly suitable for plenum-adjacent and enclosed-space installations where halogen off-gassing during a fire event is a code or safety concern — confirm local code requirements (NEC, EN 50399) before substituting OFNR-jacketed alternatives. At 864 fibers, the cable assembly has significant weight and bend-radius constraints — plan cable tray routing, support intervals, and pull tension carefully before installation. MPO Female connectors require MPO Female-to-Female (Type B or Type AF) adapter modules or patch panels; confirm polarity method (Method A, B, or C per TIA-568.3-D) matches your end equipment and cross-connect scheme before deployment to avoid polarity inversion across the link.
