Overview

The Panduit Opticom OM5 Fiber Cassette (SKU: FC2WO-24-10U) is a high-density multimode fiber optic cassette designed for OM5 cabling systems. This cassette converts 2 MPO trunk cables into 12 duplex LC connections, supporting a total of 24 fibers. It features optimized insertion loss (IL) for reliable signal integrity and universal polarity for simplified deployment and maintenance. The black cassette cover includes a black MPO connector and 12 lime LC adapters for clear identification and organization. Optimized for data centers, enterprise networks, and structured cabling environments, this cassette ensures efficient fiber management with a compact footprint. The OM5 multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40G/100G Ethernet, making it future-ready for evolving network demands. The universal polarity design eliminates the need for manual polarity adjustments, reducing installation time and potential errors. QuickNet™ MPO Fiber Optic Cassettes consist of pre-terminated LC adapters for quick and easy deployment in high-density applications and provide efficient utilization of rack space and design flexibility. The cassettes offer a multimode insertion loss of 0.5dB max, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Each cassette houses a maximum of 24 fibers, equating to 96 fibers per RU in a 1RU patch panel. The rear MPO connectivity features male ferrules with PC Polish for multimode applications. Application areas include key elements as specified in Data Center Cabling Standard TIA 942 cross connects in main, horizontal, and equipment distribution areas. The cassette is part of Panduit's QuickNet™ MPO Fiber Optic Cassette series, designed for high-density fiber management with a focus on reliability and performance.
