Overview

The Panduit FRTR4X4OR bend limiter is specifically engineered to restrict the bend of fiber optic cable to a precise 2-inch (50.4 mm) radius. This controlled bend occurs as the fiber cable exits from either a 4x4 FiberRunner Channel or a FiberRunner Horizontal Tee. The orange color of the FRTR4X4OR is a deliberate design choice, aligning with the established color scheme of Panduit's FiberRunner system, thereby facilitating straightforward identification and seamless integration within the overall infrastructure. This component is intended for deployment in structured cabling environments, where its function is to maintain consistent and organized cable management practices. By preventing excessive stress on the fiber optic cables, it actively protects the integrity of the fibers. The FRTR4X4OR is fully compatible with both 4x4 FiberRunner channels and horizontal tees, making it a suitable solution for critical fiber optic applications found in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial installations where maintaining signal quality and preventing physical damage to the fiber is paramount. Manufactured in the US, the FRTR4X4OR is identified by the UNSPSC code 39131705.
