Overview

The Panduit FC3XN-16-10A Opticom Cassette delivers high-density, low-loss fiber connectivity for seamless 40G to 10G migration in data centers and enterprise networks. This 16-fiber OM3 multimode cassette features front LC duplex aqua adapters for 10G connectivity and a rear male MTP (pins) interface for 40G Method A compatibility, ensuring backward and forward compatibility with existing infrastructure. Designed for plug-and-play deployment, the FC3XN-16-10A simplifies high-speed fiber cabling with pre-terminated, factory-tested components that reduce installation time and eliminate field termination errors. The OM3 fiber (50/125µm) supports distances up to 300 meters at 10G speeds, making it ideal for backbone and horizontal cabling in data centers, campus networks, and high-performance computing environments. The cassette integrates with Panduit's Specification Grade Enclosures and Modular Splice Cassettes, maximizing density while protecting vulnerable fibers from dust and physical damage. With standard loss performance, this cassette ensures reliable signal integrity for mission-critical applications, including cloud computing, virtualization, and AI workloads. The rear male MTP (pins) connector aligns with TIA-568 and ISO/IEC standards, enabling Method A polarity for consistent, error-free connections. Compatible with Panduit's OPTICOM series and other MTP/MPO-based systems, the FC3XN-16-10A is a cost-effective solution for upgrading legacy 10G networks to 40G while maintaining flexibility for future scalability.
