Overview

The Panduit FPQN972B is a high-density, 72-fiber, Outside Plant (OSP) armored cable designed for robust outdoor deployments. This cable features a single armor layer and a double jacket construction, providing superior protection against mechanical stress and environmental factors. Engineered with OS2 single-mode fiber, it supports high-bandwidth applications and long-haul data transmission with minimal signal loss. The OS2 fiber offers a 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter and is optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, ensuring excellent performance for Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and beyond. The cable's EuroClass Fca rating signifies its compliance with European fire safety standards for cables, making it suitable for installations where fire performance is critical. The 250 µm fiber diameter allows for high fiber density within a manageable cable size. This armored construction is ideal for direct burial, aerial installations, and conduit applications where protection against crushing, rodents, and other physical damage is paramount. The double jacket enhances durability and resistance to moisture ingress. Panduit's commitment to quality ensures reliable performance and longevity in challenging outdoor environments. The FPQN972B is manufactured in the USA, adhering to stringent quality control measures. This cable is a critical component for building robust fiber optic networks in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise environments requiring dependable outdoor connectivity. Its design facilitates efficient installation and termination, contributing to overall project cost-effectiveness. The OS2 fiber type ensures future-proofing for evolving network demands.
