Overview

The Panduit FOKPX12 (SKU: FOKPX12) is a 12-fiber, OM3-rated tight-buffered cable engineered for high-bandwidth indoor and outdoor applications. This cable features 900 µm buffered fibers for enhanced protection and simplified termination, meeting OFNP (Plenum) fire safety standards per ANSI/TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801. The OM3 fiber specification supports 10 Gbps transmission up to 300 meters and 40 Gbps up to 100 meters, making it ideal for modern data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications systems requiring reliable optical connectivity. The tight-buffered construction ensures durability and ease of handling during installation, while the indoor/outdoor rating eliminates the need for separate cables in mixed environments. Compliance with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC ensures environmentally responsible deployment. The cable is manufactured in the USA, delivering consistent performance for demanding network infrastructure. Typical applications include backbone cabling, riser systems, and horizontal runs in plenum-rated spaces, where fire safety and performance are critical. Key specifications include: - Fiber count: 12 - Fiber type: OM3 (50/125µm) - Buffered fiber diameter: 900 µm - Flammability rating: OFNP (Plenum) - Compliance: ISO/IEC 11801, ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, IA/EIA-604 (FOCIS-3, FOCIS-10) - RoHS compliant - Country of origin: US The FOKPX12 is designed for network designers and installers seeking a single cable solution that meets stringent safety and performance requirements without compromising flexibility or reliability.
