Overview

The Panduit FRT12X4W6YL 12x4 Horizontal Tee is a precision-engineered fitting designed to attach to 12x4 channel and/or fittings. This attachment creates a 90° horizontal branch with a 6x4 exit from a straight horizontal run. This one-piece, hinged design integrates seamlessly with Panduit’s FiberRunner system, providing a tamper-resistant pathway for fiber optic and low-voltage cabling. The tee fitting is UL and CSA rated for 600V, meeting UL 5A and CSA C22.2 No. 62.1-03 standards. It is also FT4 rated for flame resistance. Pre-punched mounting holes simplify installation, while the hinged design allows for easy access and cable management. Compatible with Panduit’s T-45 raceway solutions, the FRT12X4W6YL supports efficient routing of both power and communication cabling in a single, organized pathway. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and data center environments where structured cabling and cable protection are critical. The fitting is manufactured in the US and distributed by Gross Automation for reliable performance and compliance with industry standards. The FRT12X4W6YL is specifically designed to facilitate a 90 degree horizontal branch from a straight horizontal run, with a distinct 6x4 exit. This configuration allows for the creation of complex cable routing pathways within the FiberRunner system. The robust construction ensures durability and longevity in demanding environments. The integration with the 12x4 channel and fittings ensures a secure and stable connection, maintaining the integrity of the cabling pathway. The tamper-resistant nature of the design adds an extra layer of security for sensitive cabling infrastructure. The FT4 rating signifies its suitability for applications where flame retardancy is a key requirement. The UL and CSA ratings confirm its adherence to stringent safety and performance benchmarks for electrical applications up to 600V. The compatibility with T-45 raceway solutions further enhances its versatility, allowing for a unified approach to cable management across different Panduit systems.
