QuickNet Signature Core Harness Cable Assemblies SPECIFICATION SHEET general information QuickNet Signature Core Harness Cable Assemblies allow for rapid deployment of high-density equipment connections in a single assembly for data center applications requiring quick infrastructure deployment. These harness cable assemblies optimize cable routing requirements to ensure efficient use of pathway space and significantly reduce installation time and cost. They are built with modular MPO connectivity and provide compatibility, flexibility, and system performance in all permanent link applications. technical information Signature Core Fiber is a modal and chromatic dispersion compensating multimode fiber designed for optimum performance with high-speed Vertical Cavity Surfacing Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) transceivers. The refractive index profile is engineered to correct for the interaction between modal and chromatic dispersion increasing the total channel bandwidth. Current industry standards for OM3 and OM4 fibers neglect this interaction and as a result, channel reach can be significantly limited for a large population of VCSEL transceivers. Like OM3 and OM4 fiber types, the actual supported reach for Signature Core Fiber depends on the electrical and 1 optical characteristics of the VCSEL transceiver . Under worst-case conditions, Signature Core Fiber will provide at least a 20% increase in reach over uncompensated OM4 fibers. Under nominal conditions, Signature Core Fiber will support a 600m reach with 10GBASE-SR transceivers compared to a 400m maximum reach over OM4 as 2 specified in IEEE 802.3 . Applying the 20% minimum increase in reach for OM4 reach published in FC-PI-5 for Fibre Channel communication yields a reach of 225 meters with a an 8G Fiber Channel transceiver 3 (800-M5F-SN-I), and 150 meters with a 16G Fiber Channel transceiver (1 600-M5F-SN-I) . Signature Core Fiber is 100% standards compliant meeting all OM4 specifications, with an additional requirement 4 for Differential Mode Delay (DMD) that compensates for modal and chromatic dispersion effects . application Storage Area Network (SAN), Local Area Network (LAN) switch, Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) patch field applications. construction physical properties Cable type: Indoor flat ribbon Cable outside diameter (OD): 2.5mm x 5mm Cable jacket ratings: Optical Fiber Non-conductive Minimum bend radius: 20 x Cable OD Plenum (OFNP) Cable tensile strength: 660N Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Cable compressive load: 35N/cm Fiber type: OM4+ Signature Core Fiber Cable flex: 25 cycles Connector end A: MPO male and MPO female Color: Black and Aqua Cable twist: 10 cycles Connector end B: LC duplex Cable impact load: 0.74Nm Fiber count: 8, 12 Connector cable retention: 50N Jacket color: Aqua Breakout outside diameter: 13.0mm optical properties environmental properties Maximum 2.3dB/km 850nm Storage and -40C to +65C cable attenuation: 0.6dB/km 1300nm shipping temperature: (-40F to 149F) Maximum connector MPO: .25dB Installation temperature: 0C to +50C insertion loss: LC: .10 dB (32F to 122F) Minimum connector 26dB Operating Temperature: 0C to +50C return loss: (32F to 122F) standards Meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5), TIA/EIA-568-C.1, RoHS Compliant 1 The actual channel reach of a laser optimized, multimode fiber (OM3, OM4, or Signature Core ) depends on the optical and electrical parameters of the VCSEL transceiver. For worst-case optical and electrical parameters, Signature Core Fiber will provide at least 20% greater reach over standards un-compensated OM4 fiber. 2 OM4 fiber was ratified in the IEEE802.3/D3.0 proceedings from 15-Dec-2011, Table 52-6 with an Operating Range of 2 to 400 meters. 3 Reach values are a minimum. 4 Differential Mode Delay (DMD) is a metric defined in telecommunications industry association standard EIA/TIA 455-220-A, January 2003, which describes a method for measuring the modal dispersion of laser optimized multimode mode fiber. www.panduit.com QuickNet Signature Core Harness Cable Assemblies part number Example: FSTHP6NLSNNM005 = Fiber OM4+ Signature Core, 12- ber, at ribbon harness, indoor plenum rated, MPO male to duplex LC with 61cm equal breakout, ultra IL, no pulling eye, 5 meters Character 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Example F S T H P 6 N L S N N M 0 0 5 1 Fiber Product 7 Connector Variant 10 Construction/Performance F = Fiber N = No variant N = Ultra performance/std polarity 2 Fiber Type 8 Connector Type End B 11 Other S = OM4+ Signature Core Fiber L = LC duplex N = No attribute 3 Fiber Count 9 Connector Variant 12 Unit of Length 8 = 8-fiber D = 1m equal breakout M = Meters T = 12-fiber S = 61cm equal breakout 13, 14, 15 Length 4 Cable Type N = No variant 001 - 030m H = Flat ribbon harness F = Staggered pair 1 longest breakout 5 Flame Rating G = Staggered pair 1 L = Low Smoke Zero Halogen shortest breakout (LSZH) H = Staggered pairs 1 and 2 P = Optical Fiber Non-conductive longest breakouts Plenum (OFNP) J = Staggered pairs 1 and 2 6 Connector Type End A shortest breakouts 5 = MPO female 6 = MPO male Notes: 1.
