Overview

The Panduit QuickNet SFQ OM5 MPO to LC 12-Fiber Cassette (SKU: FQWO-12-10U) is a high-density fiber optic connectivity solution designed for seamless integration into MPO trunk infrastructure and LC patch cord networks. This cassette converts a single 12-fiber MPO connection into six duplex LC adapters, enabling efficient backbone and to-the-desk fiber deployments with minimal insertion loss. Optimized for OM5 multimode fiber (50/125μm), it supports high-bandwidth applications including 100Gb/s and beyond, meeting IEEE 802.3ae channel loss specifications with a maximum insertion loss of 0.5dB per fiber. The cassette features a black cover with a black MPO connector and six lime LC adapters, each equipped with dust plugs for endpoint protection. Universal polarity simplifies installation by eliminating the need for polarity reversal, reducing human error and deployment time. The design includes a front port identification and labeling field for easy fiber documentation. Compatible with Panduit's fiber management systems, this cassette integrates directly into high-density patch panels, supporting up to 8 cassettes per 1RU for a total of 96 fiber connections. The cassette uses zirconia ceramic split sleeves for durability, withstanding 500 mating cycles per connector. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C, with storage and shipping from -40°C to +70°C. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and structured cabling systems requiring reliable, low-loss fiber connectivity.
