Overview

The Panduit FC3ZO-16-10B QuickNet Cassette is a factory-terminated, low-loss fiber optic conversion module designed for high-density 40G to 10G network deployments. This 16-fiber OM4 multimode cassette features front LC duplex Aqua adapters for 10G connectivity and a rear male MTP (pins) interface for 40G MPO trunk cable termination, supporting Method B polarity. Engineered for rapid deployment in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments, the FC3ZO-16-10B delivers optimized insertion loss performance for reliable signal integrity. The cassette converts MTP/MPO interfaces to standard LC connectors, enabling seamless integration with existing LC-based infrastructure while maintaining factory-controlled optical performance. With a total of 16 fibers (8 duplex pairs), this cassette supports high-bandwidth applications including 40GBASE-SR4, 10GBASE-SR, and OM4-compliant multimode fiber systems. The OM4 50/125µm fiber specification ensures low dispersion and high modal bandwidth for extended reach up to 150m at 10G speeds. The QuickNet design eliminates field termination requirements, reducing installation time by up to 70% compared to traditional methods. Compatible with standard 1U rackmount enclosures and Panduit's fiber management systems, the FC3ZO-16-10B includes front port identification and labeling fields for efficient cable documentation. Ideal for mission-critical applications where fast deployment, low insertion loss (<0.35dB typical), and reliable performance are essential.

The fiber optic cleave tool is intended for use in the cleaving of bare fiber optic cable to 7mm for the termination of OptiCam connectors. The rotary blade, good for up to 60,000 cleaves, provides a clean, precision cleave while a waste receptacle collects fiber offcuts for safe disposal. The addition of batteries (not included) enables a cleave counter on the front of the tool. The guide plank can be swapped out for one that allows for a 10mm cleave for single-fiber fusion splice connectors.
