Frequently Asked Questions - PZRFC Panduit

What is the Panduit PZRFC connector used for?

The Panduit PZRFC is an LC duplex multimode fiber optic connector (62.5/125 µm) used for high-speed data transmission in data centers, LANs, and telecommunication networks.

What tools are required to install the PZRFC connector?

Installation typically requires a fiber stripper, cleaver, epoxy or adhesive, curing oven (if epoxy), polishing puck, and inspection microscope. Panduit may offer specific field-installable kits.

Can the PZRFC connector be field-terminated?

Yes, the PZRFC is designed for field termination. Follow the manual for proper stripping, cleaving, adhesive application, and polishing steps.

How do I clean the Panduit PZRFC connector?

Use a lint-free wipe moistened with 99% isopropyl alcohol, gently clean the ferrule end-face, then dry with a dry wipe. For best results, use a specialized fiber optic cleaner.

What is the typical insertion loss of the PZRFC?

The typical insertion loss is ≤ 0.2 dB, ensuring minimal signal attenuation in the network.

What is the return loss specification?

The minimum return loss is ≥ 20 dB, providing good reflected signal control.

How many mating cycles can the PZRFC withstand?

The connector is rated for at least 1000 mating cycles, ensuring durable performance over time.

Is the PZRFC connector compatible with standard LC adapters?

Yes, the LC duplex design is fully compatible with all standard LC adapters and patch panels adhering to TIA/EIA-604-2.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Never look directly into the fiber end as it may emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid sharp bends that can cause fiber breakage or signal loss.

What happens if the connector is damaged?

Fiber optic connectors are generally non-repairable. If damaged, replace the connector with a new one. Ensure proper handling to avoid damage.

Installation:

1. Select the installation location ensuring there are no obstacles to interfere with the installation.
2. Mount the four support brackets under the enclosure by placing one on each pedestal mount bracket by attaching the U-bolt and nut around the pedestal (See Figure 2.1). Refer to Figures 4.1 through 4.3 for adjustment to various pedestal sizes. Use the magnetic ruler to measure the correct mounting location for each support bracket. Point them towards the center making a cross from the corners (See Figure 2.2). Ensure that the plate is allowed to pivot from side-to-side. Note: If Grid Runner is placed above pedestal plate, then the mounting assembly must be removed from plate and reconnected with the mounting assembly under the pedestal plate (See Figure 2.3).
3. Push CoolBoot Assemblies inside enclosure (See Figure 3.1) and then insert the enclosure in the desired floor tile.

Installation of Pedestal Mount Assembly to Various Pedestal Sizes:

1. The PZRFE*U may be mounted to 7/8" square or up to 2" diameter round pedestals by adjusting the engagement of the U-Bolt.

Figure 4.1

Figure 4.2

Figure 4.3

Installation continued:

1. Angle one side of the enclosure lower than the other to engage two pedestal mounting brackets. Then rock the enclosure clockwise and counter clockwise while lowering the opposite side on the pedestal mounting brackets to manually align the four corners and mounting hole locations (See Figure 5.1 & 5.2).
2. Once all four corners and mounting holes are aligned in the correct orientation (See Figure 6.1), fasten the enclosure to the pedestal mounting brackets using the supplied M6 X 12mm bonding bolts (See Figure 6.2).

Installation continued:

1. Each enclosure can accommodate both field terminated or pre-terminated connectivity. If using field terminated connectivity leave TIA/EIA 19" mounting brackets as factory installed or remove center mounting bracket (See Figure 7.1 and 7.2). If using pre-terminated connectivity (example: cassettes, enclosures) remove TIA/EIA 19" mounting brackets and relocate to the center of the enclosure (See Figure 7.3).
