Overview

The Panduit FONLX48Y is a 48-fiber OM3 multimode indoor/outdoor stranded tube cable designed for high-density network deployments. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, meeting IEEE 802.3ae standards. Engineered for versatility, it eliminates the need for separate indoor and outdoor cabling, reducing installation costs and labor. The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, ensuring reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, critical for safety in enclosed spaces. Its stranded tube construction provides mechanical protection and ease of termination, while dry water-blocking technology with super absorbent polymers simplifies installation by avoiding messy gels. The cable meets ANSI/ICEA S-104-696 for indoor-outdoor use and Telcordia GR-409/GR-20 standards. With a nominal outer diameter of 11mm and bend radius of 22cm (installation) and 11cm (operation), it is suitable for aerial lashed, duct, direct burial, and industrial applications. The cable operates in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C and includes a UV-resistant black outer jacket. Fiber color sequence follows TIA/EIA-568 standards for easy identification.
