Panduit FR9TL55A001M010 12F OS2 MPO Interconnect 10m

Panduit FR9TL55A001M010 Pan-Net™ 12-Fiber OS2 MPO Singlemode Interconnect Cable

The Panduit FR9TL55A001M010 is a 10-meter singlemode fiber interconnect engineered for high-density datacenter trunking and enterprise backbone deployments. Built on OS2 9/125μm fiber with MPO-12 APC female connectors on both ends, this 12-fiber assembly delivers the reach and bandwidth required for 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR10, and parallel optics architectures. Method A (straight-through) polarity eliminates the guesswork in structured cabling rollouts, while standard insertion loss specs ensure compatibility with existing OM4/OS2 infrastructure. LSZH jacketing meets plenum and international fire-safety mandates for enclosed pathways.

Key Features

• OS2 Singlemode Fiber: 9/125μm core supports 10G/40G/100G transmission over extended distances with minimal attenuation
• MPO-12 APC Female Connectors: Angled physical contact (APC) polish reduces back-reflection to <-60 dB for singlemode stability
• Method A Polarity: Straight-through fiber mapping (1→1, 2→2, etc.) simplifies trunk-to-trunk connections in TIA-568-C.3 structured cabling
• Standard Insertion Loss: Meets TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5) performance criteria for reliable link budgets in multispan architectures
• LSZH Jacket: Low smoke zero halogen construction satisfies IBC plenum requirements and reduces toxic emissions during fire events
• Yellow Outer Jacket: High-visibility color coding aids singlemode circuit identification in mixed-fiber environments
• 10-Meter Length: 32.81-foot reach covers typical row-to-row datacenter trunking and cross-connect pathways

The FR9TL55A001M010 uses Panduit's Pan-Net manufacturing process, which factory-terminates all 12 fibers in a controlled environment to deliver consistent end-face geometry and insertion loss across the entire array. MPO-12 APC ferrules are inspected for scratches, contamination, and fiber protrusion before final assembly, ensuring each connector meets the <0.5 dB insertion loss threshold required for 40G SR4 and 100G SR10 parallel optics modules. The yellow LSZH jacket is pull-tested to 100N and flex-cycled to verify mechanical durability under repeated moves, adds, and changes. Because both connectors are female, this cable mates directly to male MPO ports on cassettes, breakout modules, or transceiver faceplates—eliminating the need for gender-changer adapters in trunk-to-cassette topologies.

Deploy the FR9TL55A001M010 in spine-leaf datacenter fabrics where 40G QSFP+ or 100G QSFP28 optics connect top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers. The 10-meter length is optimized for intra-row trunking in hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts, while Method A polarity ensures that fiber position 1 on the transmit side maps to position 1 on the receive side—critical when using duplex LC breakout cassettes or 8-fiber MTP modules. The LSZH jacket complies with IEC 60332-1 and 60754-2 flame and smoke standards, making this assembly suitable for overhead cable trays, underfloor pathways, and enclosed risers in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North American installations where local codes mandate halogen-free materials. The 12-fiber count supports a single 40G link (using 8 fibers with 4 spares) or serves as a building block for 100G breakout configurations when combined with Panduit's cassette modules.

Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5), and TIA/EIA-568-C.1 standards. RoHS compliant for lead-free deployments. The Pan-Net manufacturing process includes automated end-face inspection and IL/RL testing, with serialized test reports available for critical-path projects. Backed by manufacturer warranty and supported by the Panduit fiber ecosystem—including FHD cassettes, FAP adapter panels, and NKFP patch panels—for seamless integration into existing Panduit structured cabling systems. Ideal for datacenter operators, IT infrastructure teams, and AV integrators managing high-bandwidth trunk routes where insertion loss budgets, polarity management, and fire-safety compliance are non-negotiable requirements.
