Overview

The Panduit FC3SA-16-10U2 OM4+ Opticom Cassette is a fiber optic conversion module designed for 4-to-1 port consolidation in high-density network environments. This cassette supports OM4+ multimode fiber, ensuring compatibility with 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications while maintaining signal integrity. The Ultra IL (Ultra Low Insertion Loss) design reduces signal degradation, with typical insertion loss below 0.35 dB per connection, critical for maintaining link budgets in long-haul or high-port-count deployments. The Universal-2 (U2) interface provides backward compatibility with existing LC duplex and MTP/MPO cabling systems, eliminating the need for additional adapters in mixed infrastructure environments. Housed in a durable steel chassis with a snap-in mounting design, the FC3SA-16-10U2 installs into standard 1U patch panels or enclosures, supporting up to 16 OM4+ fibers converging into 4 MTP/MPO ports. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and campus backbones requiring scalable, low-latency connectivity. Tested to Telcordia GR-326-CORE standards for reliability.
