Panduit FC39O-16-10U2 Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FC39O-16-10U2 is a 16-fiber OS2 Opticom cassette designed for high-density fiber management. It converts a single MPO-8 male connector to four LC duplex connections, enabling efficient termination and patching within Panduit fiber enclosures. This cassette is rated Plénum (OFNP) for installation in air-handling spaces, ensuring compliance with building codes in commercial environments. Its universal mounting design facilitates integration into various Panduit fiber optic panels and enclosures.

Compatibility

This cassette is compatible with Panduit fiber optic systems, specifically designed for use within Panduit fiber enclosures and panels that accept the Opticom™ cassette form factor. It supports OS2 single-mode fiber, suitable for long-distance data transmission in enterprise and data center applications. The MPO-8 male connector is intended for direct connection to trunk cables or other MPO-8 components, while the LC duplex connectors provide standard interfaces for patch cords.

Installation Notes

The cassette utilizes ceramic zirconia material for the connector ferrules, ensuring precise alignment and low insertion loss. The Plénum (OFNP) rating requires careful installation to avoid damaging the cable jacket, which could compromise its fire-retardant properties. Ensure the cassette is securely seated within its designated enclosure or panel slot. The overall dimensions (10.2" H x 9" W x 12.5" L) must be accommodated by the chosen Panduit chassis or panel.
