Switch Port Equipment Harnesses
Switch port equipment harnesses are utilized in the switching area of the data center and to consolidate cabling.
The LC to MPO harnesses connects six (6) or four (4) (depending on the switch layout), LC transceivers in the switch
to a single MPO connector in an adapter panel installed in the switch cabinet to within 15m of the switch cabinet. This
allows for consolidation of the switch ports into a single MPO connector. Panduit switch port equipment harnesses
come in three different breakout arrangements shown below in Figure 4. Figure 5 illustrates the application.

Panduit recommends the use of Method B polarity for 40/100G multimode parallel ber solutions. Method B (Key-Up
to Key-Up array connectivity) is widely used throughout the industry and is discussed in TIA-568-C.1. Method B array
connectivity allows for the same equipment patch cords to be used whether the channel is comprised of the LC based
10GBASE-SR technology using array solutions in the horizontal cabling infrastructure for the MPO based 40GBASE-SR4
or 100G-PSM4-S technology using array solutions throughout the infrastructure. (Note: for 100G-PSM4-S the use of
Method A FAP’s with a single Method A trunk, remainder are Method B).
To assist with the array polarity and gender, Panduit is offering the PanMPO™, which is a gender/polarity changeable
MPO connector. PanMPO™ will allow for either male/female gender or Key-Up/Key-Down or Key-Up/Key-Up MPO
trunk congurations.

How to Select Panduit Fiber Cable Assemblies
The Panduit ber product family has a wide range of available congurable options from standard MPO to MPO cable
assemblies to fully custom assemblies that are user-dened. In this section, each of the main conguration options for
Panduit ber is explained, and typical considerations for data center applications are covered.
Fiber Type
The ber type selected in the assembly indicates the maximum data rate that will be supported.
Cable choices:
• OS1/OS2 (Singlemode)
• OM3
• OM4, OM4 Signature Core
• OM5, OM5 Signature Core
Laser optimized multimode bers, OM3, OM4 exceed domestic and international standards for optical ber and support
a diverse set of legacy and contemporary applications including Ethernet and Fibre Channel, among many others. For
10GbE applications, the following link lengths are supported:
• OS1/OS2: 10km
• OM3: 300m
™
™
• OM4: 400m, OM4 Signature Core™ 550m
• OM5: 400m, OM5 Signature Core™ 465m
Note: Additional guidance on the supported link reaches for data center applications with various channel insertion losses is available
in the Reach Table on page 13 of this document, as well as at http://www.panduit.com.

Cable Flame Rating
Cable ame rating choices are:
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), tested to IEC 60332, 60754, and 610345, and Euroclass B2ca, Cca tested to
EN 50399, EN 60332-1-2 and EN ISO 1716
• Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum (OFNP), tested to NFPA 262
• Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser (OFNR), tested to UL-1666
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated cable is jacketed with compounds that emit limited smoke and no halogen
when exposed to high heat sources. It is the preferred jacket in the EMEA region.
Plenum (OFNP) is jacketed with a re-retardant plastic.
Riser (OFNR) cables contain no electrically conductive materials. These are used in a contained area, usually a
vertical shaft.
Trunk Type and Terminations
Both ends of a Panduit Fiber cable assembly include one of a range of factory termination options – each end can be
different and are selected based upon the desired application of the trunk or harness within the data center.
Termination choices are:
• Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• PanMPO
• PanMPO™ to LC
• MPO to LC
• Cassette to Cassette
• Cassette to MPO/Duplex LC
Insertion Loss is the amount of power lost at each mated pair of connectors. Maximum insertion loss per
connector pair:
• Multimode PanMPO™ to PanMPO™: 0.35dB
• Multimode LC to LC: 0.25dB
• Singlemode MPO to MPO: 0.75dB
• Singlemode LC to LC: 0.35dB

Assembly Options
Options include:
• No Pulling Eye
• Pulling Eye on one end (as show in Figure 9)
• Pulling Eye on both ends
A pulling eye is a loop of braided sleeve material that is applied to one
or both ends of a Panduit ber trunk assembly and is used to pull the
cable in the pathways at deployment.
Labeling
All Panduit ber cable assemblies have an assembly label on each
end which includes the part number, length, and a serialized quality
control number.
Label example is show in Figure 10.

Guide for Measuring Panduit Fiber Cable Assembly Lengths
Proper measuring for Panduit ber cable assembly lengths is straightforward but does require some detailed information
about the data center layout. For the most accurate length measurements, it is best to work from layout drawings and
know the specic equipment to be used, the cabinet dimensions, and the desired positions in the cabinets of enclosures
and equipment (RU position).
The illustration below shows a typical data center link and the sections that must be considered to property measure
for Panduit ber cable assembly lengths. This example shows an overhead in-row installation. For other congurations,
adjust accordingly. (For example, with underoor congurations, measure down from the panels/enclosures to
the pathway).
Recommended steps for measuring Panduit ber cable assembly lengths:
1. Calculate or measure the length of each section of the link.
a. Harness length: A1 + A2
b. Horizontal cable length: B + C + D
2. Round the total upward to the nearest foot to get the minimum Panduit ber cable assembly length

Figure 12: End of Row Link
Link Sections and Guide for Measuring:
In-cabinet length: The total length of the cable inside the cabinet (A1 + A2).
A
A1 – Horizontal distance from switch face to vertical manager – Panduit recommends 1m breakout or stagger to
allow for cable routing and management.
A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel in cabinet – this can vary depending upon where the patch
panel is located within the cabinet.
Patch panel-to-pathway length: The distance from the patch panel in cabinet to the cable pathway.
B
Length along pathway: The total distance along the pathway between the cabinet entry/exit points.
C
Pathway-to-patch panel length: Similar to B.

Example: In-cabinet length: 72 in. (12 in. + 60 in.)
A1 – Distance from switch plate to vertical manager = 12 in.
A
A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel = 60 in.
Patch panel-to-pathway length: 3 ft.
B
Length along pathway: 16.5 ft. (assuming seven 24 in. wide server cabinets and cable exit on far side of 30 in. wide
C
network cabinet = (7 x 2 ft.) + 30 in.)
Pathway-to-patch panel length: 3 ft.
D
Total harness length = (12 in. + 60 in.) = 72 in. = 6 ft.
Total horizontal cable length = (3 ft. + 16.5 ft. + 3 ft.) = 22.5 ft. = 23 ft.
Tips for Measuring Lengths:
• The specied length of a QuickNet
™
Fiber Cable Assembly is the distance as measured from the front of the
connector on one end to the front of the connector on the other end. Other than a nominal manufacturing
tolerance there is no additional length built into a QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly.
• Remember to account for any turns or obstructions in the pathway that may lead to additional length needed
(for example, ducting, support posts, etc.).
• Cable assembly bend radius limits must be taken into consideration, especially for multiple turns within
cabinets or as the cable assembly transitions to or from the pathways, and may require additional length of
the assembly.
