Overview

The Panduit FRTR12X4YL FiberRunner 3-Sided Trumpet Spillout is a critical component for managing fiber optic cable installations within Panduit's 12x4 channel or horizontal tee systems. This spillout is specifically engineered to maintain a controlled bend radius of 2 inches (50.8mm) for fiber optic cables as they exit the main cable pathway. Proper bend radius management is essential for preserving signal integrity and preventing performance degradation in fiber optic networks. The FRTR12X4YL ensures that cables are not subjected to sharp bends that could cause attenuation or physical damage. Its design facilitates a clean and organized transition from the larger channel to individual cable exits, simplifying installation and maintenance. Manufactured in the US, this spillout is built to the high standards expected from Panduit's FiberRunner system, providing a reliable solution for data center, enterprise, and telecommunications cabling infrastructures. The 3-sided design offers flexibility in cable exit orientation while strictly adhering to the 2-inch bend radius requirement, safeguarding your fiber optic investment. This product is compatible with Panduit's 12x4 channel and horizontal tee configurations, offering a seamless integration into existing or new deployments.
