Overview

The Panduit FODLX12 is a 12-fiber indoor distribution cable designed for reliable data transmission. This cable features OM3 multimode fiber, providing a bandwidth capacity suitable for various enterprise and data center applications. A key safety feature is its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rating, which significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, making it ideal for installation in enclosed spaces and public areas where safety is paramount. The cable construction incorporates 900 µm buffered fibers, offering robust protection for each individual fiber strand. This buffering enhances durability and simplifies termination processes, as the fibers are pre-protected and ready for connectorization or splicing. The FODLX12 (SKU: FODLX12) from Panduit is engineered for indoor environments, ensuring consistent performance and longevity within structured cabling systems. Its design prioritizes both safety and performance, making it a practical choice for network infrastructure requiring high fiber counts and adherence to stringent safety standards. The OM3 fiber specification supports data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over extended distances, and is backward compatible with OM1 and OM2 fiber types, offering flexibility in network upgrades.
