Overview

The Panduit FONPX24Y is a 24-fiber OM3 multimode indoor/outdoor stranded tube cable designed for high-density deployments in plenum-rated environments. This cable features a 250µm fiber diameter with OM3 performance, delivering 3.5dB/km attenuation at 850nm and 1.5dB/km at 1300nm. The stranded tube construction incorporates dry water blocking technology using super absorbent polymers, eliminating messy petroleum-based gel cleanup while meeting water-blocking requirements. Rated OFNP (plenum), it is suitable for air-handling spaces and environments requiring strict fire safety compliance. The cable operates across -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) with a tensile strength of 2670N (600 lbf) short-term and 800N (180 lbf) long-term. Weighing 115 kg/km (77 lbf/kft), it supports seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor installations without mechanical or optical compromise. Its low smoke and zero halogen (LSZH) properties further enhance fire safety by reducing toxic gas emissions and smoke density. The OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters at 850nm and 550 meters at 1300nm, making it ideal for high-speed data center and enterprise applications. The stranded tube design enhances flexibility and ease of handling during installation, while the dry water-blocking technology ensures long-term reliability in outdoor or damp environments. With a bend radius of 10x the cable diameter (unloaded) and 20x (loaded), the FONPX24Y accommodates tight installation spaces without signal degradation. Its compact design and high fiber count optimize cable management in high-density environments, reducing clutter and simplifying maintenance. The FONPX24Y is engineered for durability, with a crush resistance of 1000N/100mm (225 lbf/4 in) and an impact resistance of 10J (7.4 ft-lb), ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions.
