Overview

The Panduit FODLX24 is a 24-fiber indoor distribution cable engineered for high-performance enterprise and data center applications. This OM3-rated cable features Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) construction, ensuring compliance with stringent fire safety standards while delivering superior optical performance. Each fiber is buffered at 900µm, providing enhanced durability and ease of termination during installation. The cable is designed with aramid yarn strength members for high tensile strength and flexible routing in tight spaces. Rated for OFNP/FT6 compliance, the FODLX24 is ideal for plenum-rated environments where fire safety and signal integrity are critical. With OM3 multimode fiber, this cable supports 10GBASE-SR and 40GBASE-SR4 applications up to 300 meters, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling in modern data centers, campus networks, and enterprise environments. The aqua jacket color conforms to TIA-598-C standards for multimode fiber identification. Installation is streamlined with easy-strip buffers, reducing termination time and minimizing signal loss. The cable’s compact design and high tensile strength enable efficient cable management in dense network architectures. Backed by Panduit’s reputation for reliability, the FODLX24 ensures long-term performance in mission-critical infrastructure.
