Panduit FQ9N-12-LAAF Fiber Cassette

Overview

The Panduit FQ9N-12-LAAF is a QuickNet™ fiber cassette designed for high-density fiber optic system deployments. It provides a clean transition from a 12-fiber MPO-12 male connector to six LC duplex connectors, utilizing OS2 single-mode fiber. This cassette is engineered for applications requiring efficient fiber management and reliable connectivity in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise networks. The polycarbonate construction ensures durability, while the standard insertion loss rating supports robust signal integrity for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications.

Compatibility

This cassette is designed to integrate with Panduit's QuickNet SFQ fiber optic enclosures and panels. It supports OS2 single-mode fiber, making it compatible with network infrastructure requiring long-reach or high-bandwidth transmission. The MPO-12 male connector interfaces with standard MPO trunk cables, and the six LC duplex ports are designed for direct termination of LC patch cords or connections to LC-based transceivers.

Installation Notes

The FQ9N-12-LAAF cassette slides directly into compatible Panduit QuickNet SFQ enclosures. Ensure the MPO connector is clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation. The LC duplex ports are designed for standard LC patch cord connections; avoid excessive force during insertion or removal. The operating temperature range for this component is critical for maintaining performance; refer to Panduit's general fiber optic system guidelines for specific environmental limits.
