Overview

The Panduit FlexCore FDCWA-24-10ASRH is a front-access fiber optic distribution cassette engineered for high-density multimode (OM5) network deployments. This cassette efficiently converts 24 LC Duplex ports into two MPO-12 connectors, utilizing Method A straight polarity for consistent signal path integrity. Designed for ultra-low insertion loss (IL), it ensures reliable data transmission critical for enterprise, data center, and campus network backbones and horizontal cabling. The right-hand orientation facilitates straightforward integration within Panduit’s FlexCore ODF systems. Supporting OM5 fiber capabilities, it leverages extended reach and reduced modal dispersion, making it suitable for applications ranging from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps. Front-panel access simplifies moves, adds, and changes, while maintaining crucial polarity. The FDCWA-24-10ASRH is an ideal solution for environments demanding high fiber density, scalability, and superior low-loss performance. Manufacturer: Panduit. SKU: FDCWA-24-10ASRH.
