Overview

The Panduit FHC3XO-08H-10B HD Flex 4-to-1 Breakout Cassette is a high-performance, factory-terminated fiber optic solution designed for mission-critical applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and storage area networks (SANs). This OM3 multimode cassette converts an MPO/MTP interface to four duplex LC ports, supporting a total of 8 fibers with Method B polarity for consistent, error-free signal routing. The cassette features a durable black cover with a charcoal gray MPO connector and four aqua duplex LC adapters equipped with integral shutters to prevent dust and contamination during installation and operation. Optimized for low insertion loss (IL), the FHC3XO-08H-10B ensures reliable signal integrity across high-density fiber deployments. The integral shutters on the LC adapters provide an additional layer of protection, reducing the risk of damage or signal degradation in active network environments. This cassette is part of Panduit’s HD Flex system, which is engineered for rapid deployment and scalability, making it ideal for environments where moves, adds, and changes are frequent. Compatible with standard 19-inch rack mount and wall mount enclosures, the FHC3XO-08H-10B integrates seamlessly into existing Panduit fiber management systems. The top of the cassette includes a labeling field for clear port identification and documentation, simplifying network administration and troubleshooting. With a compact design and factory-controlled optical performance, this cassette delivers consistent, repeatable results without the need for on-site termination or polishing. Applications include backbone cabling, server-to-switch connections, and high-speed data center interconnects. The OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and 40GbE applications over distances up to 300 meters, making it suitable for short-to-medium range links. The FHC3XO-08H-10B is manufactured in the USA and carries a UNSPSC code of 26121650, ensuring compliance with industry standards for fiber optic components.
