Description

The PANDUIT FOCPX12Y is a 12-fiber indoor-outdoor fiber optic cable constructed for multimode transmission using 50-micron OM3-rated glass fiber. Designed for runs that transition between conditioned interior spaces and exposed outdoor environments, this cable supports high-bandwidth applications in structured cabling systems. The OM3 fiber type is rated for 10-gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols over extended distances, making it a reliable choice for backbone and riser installations. It is typically installed by licensed low-voltage or datacom contractors working on enterprise, campus, or industrial network infrastructure projects.

This cable is suited for installations where a single continuous run must pass from inside a building to an outdoor pathway or between buildings via conduit. The indoor-outdoor construction eliminates the need for a splice point or transition enclosure at the building entry, simplifying the run and reducing potential failure points. Typical applications include horizontal and vertical backbone runs in commercial buildings, campus interconnects, and industrial facilities requiring multimode fiber infrastructure.

Key Features

50-micron OM3 multimode fiber supports 10-gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
12-fiber count suits backbone and riser cabling in commercial and campus environments
Indoor-outdoor rated construction handles environmental exposure without a separate transition splice
Single-unit packaging (sold individually per EA) for precise project quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indoor-outdoor multimode fiber optic cable for use with standard OM3-compatible fiber connectors, patch panels, and enclosures in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic contractor familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any active equipment connected to the fiber path before terminating or splicing. Follow applicable local building and fire codes when routing cable through walls, floors, or outdoor conduit runs. Do not exceed the cable’s rated minimum bend radius during pulling or dressing to avoid microbend attenuation.
