Overview

The Panduit FRT24X4W12YL FiberRunner 24x4 Horizontal Tee is engineered to create precise 90-degree horizontal branches within your structured cabling system. This fitting attaches seamlessly to the 24x4 channel and/or associated fittings, facilitating a 12x4 exit from a straight horizontal run. Designed for efficient cable management, the FiberRunner system offers a tamper-resistant, multi-channel pathway capable of routing both power and communication cabling within a single, integrated solution. While this specific tee fitting's direct electrical ratings are not detailed in the provided catalog excerpt, the broader T-45 Raceway system, which shares similar design principles, is UL and CSA rated 600V and meets UL 5A and CSA C22.2 No. 62.1-03 standards, with an FT4 rating. The FRT24X4W12YL is manufactured in the USA, ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards. Its one-piece hinged design, a common feature across the FiberRunner and T-45 product lines, allows for easy access and maintenance. The system is designed to control bend radius, a critical factor in maintaining the integrity of fiber optic and high-speed data cables. This horizontal tee is an essential component for organizing and protecting your network infrastructure in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise environments where clean and reliable cable pathways are paramount. It complements other FiberRunner components to build a complete, scalable, and manageable pathway solution. For installation, it is designed to integrate with existing Panduit 24x4 channel systems.
