Panduit FRFWCSC12W6LBL FiberRunner 4-Way Cross Cover
The Panduit FRFWCSC12W6LBL is a hinged 4-way cross cover engineered for FiberRunner 12x4 fiber raceway systems at intersections where four cable pathways converge. Designed for high-density data center and central office deployments, this polycarbonate/ABS cover provides tool-free access to fiber cables at cross junctions through four integrated 6-inch branch openings, enabling adds, moves, and changes without disassembling adjacent raceway sections. At 21.25 inches wide by 14.5 inches long by 2.74 inches high, the cover maintains full enclosure protection over the 4-way cross fitting while preserving cable bend radius compliance and shielding fiber from dust, debris, and accidental contact during maintenance windows.
Key Features
- Hinged 4-way cross cover for FiberRunner 12x4 raceway intersections with tool-free cable access through four 6" branch openings
- Polycarbonate/ABS blend construction for impact resistance and dimensional stability across -40°C to +70°C operating range
- 21.25" W × 14.5" L × 2.74" H overall dimensions mate directly to FiberRunner 12x4 cross fittings without adapters
- UL 2024A listed for optical fiber cable raceway assemblies, Telcordia GR-63-CORE compliant, NEBS Level 3 qualified
- Black finish matches standard FiberRunner 12x4 components for consistent appearance across data center hot/cold aisle installations
High-density fiber deployments in colocation facilities, carrier hotels, and enterprise data centers require frequent cable access at pathway intersections for circuit turn-ups, decommissions, and fiber re-routing. Traditional raceway covers at cross junctions create bottlenecks during maintenance—removing covers from four converging pathways to access a single strand risks disturbing adjacent circuits and extends service windows. The FRFWCSC12W6LBL solves this with a single hinged cover spanning the entire 4-way cross fitting. Four 6-inch openings align with each branch, allowing technicians to dress new cables into the intersection or extract retired fibers without exposing the full junction. The polycarbonate/ABS blend resists cracking under repeated hinge cycles and withstands the mechanical stress of cable pulls, while the black surface finish minimizes light reflection in dark data hall environments where visual inspection of fiber status LEDs is critical.
The cover's 21.25-inch width and 14.5-inch length correspond to the FiberRunner 12x4 system's 12-inch inside width and 4-inch inside height, with the 2.74-inch cover height providing clearance for the raised cross fitting hub and stacked fiber bundles transitioning between pathways. Installation snaps directly onto the cross fitting's perimeter rail without screws or clips—integrators stage the cover during initial raceway build-out or retrofit it into existing FiberRunner runs by sliding it over the cross fitting before securing adjacent straight sections. The 6-inch branch openings are sized to pass pre-terminated fiber assemblies with standard LC, SC, or MPO connectors, and the hinge's 180-degree range allows the cover to fold completely back against the raceway sidewall for full-access troubleshooting when necessary. UL 2024A listing validates the assembly's fire-resistive properties and cable support integrity, while Telcordia GR-63-CORE and NEBS Level 3 compliance confirm the cover meets seismic Zone 4 requirements and the environmental extremes defined for central office equipment spaces.
Ships as a single cover per package with five units per carton for multi-floor or campus-wide FiberRunner installations. Pair with Panduit FiberRunner 12x4 straight sections (FRRA12BL6, FRRA12BL10), 90-degree horizontal elbows (FRFWEL12BL), and vertical drop fittings to construct complete overhead or under-floor fiber pathways that maintain 1.5-inch minimum bend radius across all transitions. RoHS compliant for shipment into EU and APAC markets where hazardous substance restrictions apply. This cover is purpose-built for the FiberRunner 12x4 system—verify raceway channel dimensions before ordering, as it is not compatible with FiberRunner 6x4 or competitive 4-inch-height raceway families from other manufacturers.
