Overview

The Panduit FC3XN-16-10B 40G-10G Opticom Cassette is a high-density fiber optic solution designed for seamless migration from 40G to 10G networks. This cassette features OM3 multimode fiber (50/125µm) with standard loss performance, ensuring reliable data transmission over medium distances. The front port includes LC duplex aqua adapters for compatibility with 10GBASE-SR applications, while the rear port utilizes a male MTP (MPO) connector with pins, supporting Method B polarity for direct connection to 40G QSFP+ transceivers or MTP/MPO trunk cables. Key specifications include 16 total fibers (8 duplex pairs), optimized for high-speed data center and enterprise environments. The cassette is part of Panduit’s Opticom system, which integrates with their Fiber Management Systems for organized cable routing and reduced signal loss. OM3 fiber supports 10G Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40G Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it ideal for data center interconnects, backbone cabling, and high-density patching environments. The FC3XN-16-10B is manufactured in the USA and complies with industry standards for low insertion loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Its modular design allows for easy installation into Panduit’s Opticom enclosures or third-party 1U/2U fiber panels. The cassette includes front labeling fields for clear identification and documentation, reducing troubleshooting time. With Method B connectivity, it simplifies polarity management in parallel optic applications, eliminating the need for manual polarity flipping. Applications include data center cabling, enterprise networks, campus backbones, and high-performance computing environments where 10G and 40G connectivity is required. The OM3 fiber’s 50/125µm core size ensures compatibility with existing multimode infrastructure while providing future-proofing for 100G applications via OM4/OM5 upgrades. The cassette’s low-loss design supports link budgets for extended distances, making it a cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth deployments.
