Overview

The Panduit HD Flex LC Splice Cassette (SKU: FHSZO-12-10R) is a preloaded, modular fiber optic splice management solution designed for high-density data center, enterprise, and campus backbone applications. This cassette ships ready-to-install with 12 OM4 50/125µm multimode ribbon fiber pigtails (250/900µm buffered fiber) and a single ribbon fiber splice sleeve, eliminating on-site splicing for faster deployment. The black cassette features six integrated blue duplex LC adapters with integral shutters to prevent dust contamination during routine maintenance. Each adapter supports OM4 performance for 10G/40G/100G Ethernet applications with low insertion loss and high return loss. The cassette’s compact design maximizes rack space, accommodating up to 24 fibers per enclosure when paired with Panduit’s HD Flex enclosures. The modular housing integrates cable management to maintain the required 30mm minimum bend radius, protecting splices from microbending and signal degradation. Ideal for data centers, SANs, healthcare facilities, and central offices where rapid, reliable fiber termination is critical. Compatible with Panduit’s Specification Grade Fiber Enclosures (e.g., HFR-10144 1U 144F) and other modular splice cassette systems. US-made for consistent quality and compliance with industry standards.

How to Install the FHSZO-12-10R HD Flex LC Splice Cassette and Fiber Adapter Panel (FAP)

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the FHSZO-12-10R HD Flex LC Splice Cassette and Fiber Adapter Panel (FAP).

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Lint-free tissue, Isopropyl alcohol

Supplies needed:

Pan-Ty Cable Ties, Splice sleeves

  1. Prepare the incoming field cable

    Strip the outer jacket of the incoming field cable by 20 inches. Secure the cable with Pan-Ty Cable Ties and Kevlar with a screw if applicable. The maximum cable diameter is 7.4mm.

  2. Prepare fibers for splicing

    Expose all fiber ends for splicing. Slide a splice sleeve onto either the pigtail or field fiber. Strip approximately 35mm of coating from each fiber. Wipe the bare fiber with a lint-free tissue soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Cleave the fiber so that 10mm of bare fiber extends past the fiber coating.

  3. Splice and route fibers

    Splice all fibers and heat the splice sleeve(s) according to the splicer manufacturer's instructions. Route the spliced fibers into the cassette, ensuring they are located under the routing tabs. Secure the splice sleeves within the splice organizer.

  4. Install patch cords and close cassette

    Remove the cover and internal dust caps from the cassette. Install patch cords and route cables as shown in Figure 2. Re-install the cover.
