Overview

The Panduit OptiCom Fiber Cassette (SKU: FC2ZN-12-10AS) is a high-density OM4 multimode fiber cassette designed for efficient data center and enterprise network deployments. This cassette converts a single 12-fiber MPO trunk into six duplex LC connections, supporting 12 fibers total with standard insertion loss (IL) performance. It uses Method A polarity for consistent, error-free signal routing in structured cabling systems. Key features include a black powder-coated metal cover for durability and a black MPO connector with six aqua LC adapters for OM4 multimode fiber compatibility. The cassette is ideal for high-speed data center interconnects, backbone cabling, and structured cabling architectures requiring OM4 performance (up to 100GBASE-SR4 and 40GBASE-SR4 applications). It integrates seamlessly with Panduit’s OptiCom fiber management systems and other structured cabling solutions. Specifications: - Fiber type: OM4 multimode (50/125µm) - Port configuration: 1x MPO (12 fibers) to 6x duplex LC (12 fibers) - Polarity method: Standard Method A - Insertion loss: Standard IL - Connector types: Black MPO (male) and 6x aqua LC adapters (duplex) - Cover color: Black - Total fiber capacity: 12 fibers The FC2ZN-12-10AS is a reliable, plug-and-play solution for data center operators, network installers, and IT professionals seeking standardized, high-performance fiber connectivity.
