Panduit FR98PXYY011M002 Fiber Interconnect

Overview

The Panduit FR98PXYY011M002 is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) OS2 singlemode fiber interconnect cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It features MPO-8 female connectors on both ends, facilitating rapid pre-terminated infrastructure connections. This cable is plenum-rated (OFNP) for installation in air-handling spaces, ensuring compliance with building codes in critical environments. Its specific application is for connecting equipment distribution areas, entrance facilities, and main cross-connects where fast, reliable fiber deployment is paramount.

Compatibility

This interconnect cable is designed to mate with other MPO-8 (8-fiber) connectors. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ITU-T G.652.D standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network equipment and patch panels from various manufacturers. It is suitable for use with OS2 singlemode fiber infrastructure commonly found in enterprise and carrier networks.

Installation Notes

The MPO connectors require careful alignment to prevent pin damage and ensure optimal signal transmission. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the OS2 fiber to maintain signal integrity and prevent performance degradation. The plenum rating mandates installation within approved plenum-rated pathways.
