Overview

The Panduit FHC3WA-24H-10B HD Flex 4-to-1 Breakout Cassette is a high-density fiber optic solution designed for demanding applications like data centers and storage area networks. This cassette supports 24 fibers and features an OM5 multimode fiber type, ensuring high bandwidth capabilities for modern network infrastructure. It efficiently converts three MPO (3x MTP/MPO) connectors on the rear to twelve duplex LC adapters on the front, providing a 4-to-1 breakout configuration. The cassette utilizes Method B polarity, a standard for MPO-to-LC transitions, ensuring correct signal path. Engineered for ultra-low insertion loss (IL), this cassette minimizes signal degradation, crucial for maintaining network performance and reliability. The 12-port cassette boasts a durable black cover, with three charcoal gray MPO connectors for clear identification. The twelve lime green duplex LC adapters are equipped with integral shutters, effectively preventing dust and contamination ingress, which is vital for maintaining optical clarity and connection integrity. This plug-and-play cassette offers fast and economical installation, ideal for environments with frequent moves, adds, or changes. It is designed for use within Panduit's Fiber Management Systems, offering a cohesive and scalable network infrastructure solution. The FHC3WA-24H-10B is manufactured in the USA and adheres to the UNSPSC code 43223338. Its modular design simplifies fiber management and deployment, making it an excellent choice for backbone and to-the-desk applications requiring efficient fiber termination and breakout.
