Overview

The Panduit FMS2 Opticom Fiber Slack Spool Manager (SKU: FMS2) is engineered to efficiently manage fiber slack within Panduit Opticom 2 RU or 4 RU Rack Mount Fiber Enclosures. This essential component ensures optimal fiber optic network performance by maintaining critical bend radius control and preventing damage to delicate fiber strands. The FMS2 features integrated fiber retention tabs and fingers that meticulously guide fiber, guaranteeing adherence to the minimum bend radius requirements, which is crucial for signal integrity and longevity. Rounded edges throughout the design eliminate potential snagging points and mitigate stress on the fiber, safeguarding against premature failure and performance degradation. This manager is designed to work seamlessly with Panduit's Opticom enclosure systems, providing a structured and secure environment for fiber optic cabling. Its robust construction and thoughtful design contribute to the overall reliability and maintainability of fiber optic installations. The FMS2 is manufactured in the US, ensuring adherence to high production standards. This product is compatible with various splice tray configurations, including those holding up to 24 x 900μm fibers with heat shrink splice protectors, as seen in Molex CES Universal Splice Trays (AFR-00822, AFR-00823). It supports multi-directional routing of entry and exit fibers, allowing for flexible installation in vertical or horizontal orientations. The system maintains a 30mm bend radius, ideal for both 250μm and 900μm fiber types. Internal cable management options include cross-over routing, and pivoting splice holders ensure uninterrupted fiber control during splicing. A built-in fiber pick aids in withdrawing individual fibers, simplifying maintenance. The tray is stackable with a built-in hinge for easy access and comes with a transparent lid secured by a hinge and latch. Cable tie points are provided for securing fiber at entry and exit points. Mounting is versatile, supporting center hole, DIN style holes, or double-sided foam adhesive pads. The FMS2 is a key component for robust fiber optic infrastructure management.
