Overview

The Panduit QuickNet SFQ Fiber Cassette (SKU: FQSA-12-10AS) is a high-density MPO-to-LC fiber optic connectivity solution engineered for 10Gb/s and beyond network deployments. This 12-fiber cassette features Signature Core OM4+ multimode fiber (50/125μm) with ultra-low insertion loss (0.35dB max per fiber) to minimize signal degradation in high-speed data transmission. The cassette supports standard Method A polarity for correct signal path alignment, ensuring reliable network performance. Designed for flexibility, the QuickNet SFQ cassette provides rear MPO connectivity with male ferrules and PC polish, interfacing with high-density SFF MPO interconnect cable assemblies. The front features six duplex LC adapters (blue) with dust plugs for contamination protection, following TIA/EIA-568-C.3 color identification standards. The black cover and connectors enhance durability while maintaining a professional aesthetic. Key applications include data centers, enterprise networks, and structured cabling systems requiring high fiber counts in minimal space. The cassette supports network data rates up to 100Gb/s and beyond, meeting IEEE 802.3ae and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) channel specifications. With a fiber count of 12, it enables efficient cable management and reduces installation costs by optimizing breakout configurations. Environmental reliability is ensured with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C (32°F to 158°F) and storage/shipping from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F). The cassette’s zirconia ceramic split sleeve material delivers 500 mating cycles for long-term connector durability. Compatible with multimode OM1, OM3, OM4, OM4+, and OM5 fiber types, this Panduit solution provides a scalable, high-performance fiber optic infrastructure component.
