Frequently Asked Questions - FXTHL6NLSSNM013 Panduit

What is the typical use of the Panduit FXTHL6NLSSNM013 cable?

This cable is a fiber optic patch cord used for high-speed data transmission in networking equipment such as switches, routers, and servers.

What connectors does this cable have?

It features LC duplex connectors on both ends, commonly used in datacom applications.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, it is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor applications, a different cable with outdoor-rated jacket is required.

What is the maximum data rate supported?

Multimode fiber supports data rates up to 100 Gbps over short distances (e.g., 100m for 100GBASE-SR10).

Can I clean the connectors with water?

No, use only isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes to avoid damaging the optical surfaces.

What is the bend radius and why is it important?

The minimum bend radius is 30 mm (dynamic) and 15 mm (static). Exceeding these can cause signal loss or fiber breakage.

Does this cable have a polarity?

Yes, LC duplex cables maintain polarity A-to-B as per TIA standards. Ensure correct orientation when connecting.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store in a clean, dry environment between -40°C and 85°C, with dust caps on connectors.

Can I repair a damaged fiber cable?

No, fiber optic cables are not field-repairable. Replace the entire cable if damaged.

Is this cable compatible with 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, multimode fiber supports 10GBASE-SR up to 300 meters with 50/125 µm fiber.

Cable Transition Usage

Tak-Ty Option

Slot features in the cable transition allows for the use of a Tak-Ty to either secure the cable harness to a rack feature, such as cable management fingers, or to more robustly secure multiple cable transitions that are interlocked together.

Cable Clips & Housing Ribs Option

PanMPO Gender Changeover

Squeeze both sides of the outer housing at the back end evenly until you hear an audible click. Pull off connector to remove.

Locate hole in the inner housing on the slotted side and position pin retraction tool over the hole.

Insert tool into hole, press down gently, and push backward to retract connector pins to the female state. Repeat process in opposite direction to extract pins for male state.
