Panduit FHC39O-24H-10U2 Fiber Optic Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FHC39O-24H-10U2 is a high-density fiber optic cassette designed for structured cabling systems. It provides a conversion point, enabling the transition from 24 individual OS2 fibers terminated with LC Duplex connectors to a single MPO-8 Male connector. This cassette is optimized for low insertion loss (IL) and supports universal applications within Panduit's HD Flex™ system, simplifying complex fiber deployments in data centers and enterprise networks.

Compatibility

This cassette is specifically designed for integration with Panduit's HD Flex™ fiber optic enclosures and panels. It leverages the universal mounting system within these enclosures, ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment. While it converts 24 fibers, it utilizes an MPO-8 connector, making it suitable for applications requiring higher density connections within a limited rack space, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) or 40GbE uplinks where multiple LC connections are consolidated. It is intended for use with OS2 single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cassette is constructed from polycarbonate for durability. It features optimized IL performance, critical for maintaining signal integrity over long distances or at high speeds. The MPO-8 Male connector requires specific handling to ensure proper pin alignment and connection. Ensure the receiving enclosure or panel is clean and free of debris before insertion. The overall dimensions are 10.1 inches high and 9 inches wide, designed to fit standard 1RU or 2RU Panduit HD Flex™ enclosures.
