Overview

The Panduit FDCSA-24-10ASLH FlexCore Front Access ODF Fiber Optic Cassette is engineered for high-density fiber optic deployments within data centers and enterprise networks. This cassette facilitates a critical conversion, transforming 24 LC Duplex connections into two MPO-12 connectors. It utilizes Method A straight polarity, ensuring predictable and consistent signal path routing essential for network integrity. The cassette supports OM4+ (Signature Core) fiber, delivering enhanced performance for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications. A key benefit is its Ultra Low Insertion Loss (Ultra IL) rating, which minimizes signal degradation, crucial for maintaining signal quality over longer distances or through complex network architectures. The left-hand orientation is specifically designed to simplify cable management and installation within standard rack configurations, improving accessibility and reducing potential for cable strain. Manufactured by Panduit, this front-access cassette integrates seamlessly with Panduit’s FlexCore ODF systems, enabling scalable and modular fiber infrastructure. It is an ideal solution for network migrations, allowing the use of MPO-12 trunking while accommodating existing LC-based equipment. The UNSPSC code for this product is 43223310, and it is manufactured in the US.

How to Install the FlexCore 4RU Universal Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the FlexCore 4RU Universal Enclosure in a rack, ensuring proper mounting and cable management.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Phillips head screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

#10-32 X 1/4” screws, #12-24 X 1/2” screws, Pan Ty cable ties

  1. Remove the shipping bracket

    Unscrew the Phillips head screws on the top and bottom of the enclosure to remove the shipping bracket.

  2. Mount the enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to the rack using a minimum of four #10-32 X 1/4” screws. If there is open RU space above, pre-install two screws on each side to assist in mounting.

  3. Install the cassettes

    Open the enclosure door, slide the tray out to the cassette change position, and install the cassettes by lifting them into place. Ensure all patch cords are connected properly.

  4. Label the cassettes

    Clean the tray surface with alcohol and apply the provided labels according to the cassette style installed.

  5. Route the cables

    Install Tak-ty cable ties around incoming cables and route them under the cable holding features to prevent snagging when accessing cassettes.
