Panduit FRSPJC26LBL Fiber Routing Spill-Over Junction Cover
Overview
The FRSPJC26LBL is the cover half of the Panduit FiberRunner Spill-Over Junction assembly — designed specifically for fully enclosing fiber runs at 6x4 channel spill-over points in fiber routing and cable management systems. It pairs exclusively with the FiberRunner Spill-Over Junction base (FRSPJ2X2LBL) and uses a snap-on mounting method with a built-in hinge, giving technicians tool-free access to add or re-route cables after installation. Built from polycarbonate/ABS and finished in black, it meets the physical and environmental standards required in data centers and telco central offices.
Key Features
- Hinged snap-on design: The cover snaps directly onto the channel base without fasteners. The integrated hinge means you can open the enclosure during a future fiber routing change without pulling the cover entirely — a real time-saver in dense central office trays.
- Full enclosure of 6x4 channel spill-over: Works in conjunction with FRSPJ2X2LBL to completely close the junction, protecting fiber at the most vulnerable transition point where cable exits the main run. Exposed spill-over points are a common cause of bend-radius violations and physical damage.
- Polycarbonate/ABS construction: This material combination delivers impact resistance and dimensional stability in the temperature and humidity ranges of a conditioned data center or telco CO — the cover won't warp or become brittle over equipment lifetime.
- UL Listed to 2024 Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies: Verified against the UL 2024 standard, which means it's been tested as part of a compliant cable management assembly — relevant wherever building codes or customer specs require listed raceways.
- Telcordia GR-63-CORE Level 3 compliance: Meets Network Equipment Building Systems seismic and environmental zone requirements. For telco CO deployments with carrier-grade infrastructure specs, this is the compliance line that matters — many carrier procurement specs call it out explicitly.
- RoHS compliant: Meets EU hazardous substance restrictions. Required for any installation destined for export or any enterprise with a green-procurement policy.
- 9 in. wide × 4.7 in. tall (228.6 mm × 119.4 mm): Physical footprint sized to the 6x4 FiberRunner channel — confirm your existing channel width before ordering to avoid a mismatch at the junction.
Integration & Compatibility
The FRSPJC26LBL is purpose-built for the Panduit FiberRunner 6x4 routing system and is used exclusively with the FiberRunner Spill-Over Junction FRSPJ2X2LBL. It is not a standalone enclosure and will not fit 4x4, 2x2, or other channel sizes. Sold individually (package quantity: 1); available in carton quantity of 5 for larger rack or row deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What channel size does the FRSPJC26LBL fit?
A: The FRSPJC26LBL is designed for the FiberRunner 6x4 routing system. It will not fit 2x2, 4x4, or other channel sizes.
Q: Does this cover work on its own, or does it require another part?
A: It requires the FiberRunner Spill-Over Junction base (FRSPJ2X2LBL). The FRSPJC26LBL is the cover only — both parts together form the complete enclosed junction.
Q: Is the FRSPJC26LBL UL Listed?
A: Yes. It is UL Listed to 2024 Optical Fiber Cable Routing Assemblies and compliant with Telcordia GR-63-CORE Network Equipment Building Systems Level 3 seismic requirements.
Q: Is the FRSPJC26LBL RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the FRSPJC26LBL carries RoHS compliance, meeting EU restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Q: How many covers come in a carton?
A: Each order unit (package quantity) is 1 cover. Carton quantity is 5, useful when covering multiple junctions in a row or bay.
The FRSPJC26LBL is the piece most planners forget to spec until they're mid-installation — you've ordered the FRSPJ2X2LBL junction base, routed the fiber, and only then realize the enclosure is open. The hinged snap-on cover (9 in. wide, 4.7 in. tall) is not optional in any deployment that needs to pass UL 2024 or Telcordia GR-63-CORE Level 3 inspection; the base alone does not constitute a compliant enclosed assembly.
Technical Highlights:
- Hinged access: Unlike a fixed snap cover, the hinge lets you open the junction without disassembling the channel run — critical in active telco COs where adjacent fiber cannot be disturbed.
- Polycarbonate/ABS material: Dimensionally stable under the HVAC cycling typical of raised-floor data centers; won't creep or gap at the snap interface over years of thermal cycling.
- GR-63-CORE Level 3: Carrier-grade seismic rating — required by most Tier 1 telecom operators in their central office infrastructure specifications, not just a nice-to-have.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your existing channel is 6x4 FiberRunner before ordering — this cover is dimensioned specifically for that system (228.6 mm wide) and will not mate with 2x2 or 4x4 bases.
- Sold as a single unit; for a full row of junction points, order in carton quantities of 5 to avoid per-unit freight overhead.
Best fit for carrier central office builds and enterprise data centers where the fiber routing infrastructure is subject to formal UL 2024 and GR-63-CORE compliance audits — this is not a component to substitute with a generic cover in those environments.
