Frequently Asked Questions - FXTRL7N7NBNM023 Panduit

How do I reverse the polarity of the FXTRL7N7NBNM023 cable?

To reverse polarity, squeeze both sides of the outer housing at the back end evenly until you hear an audible click. Then pull the outer housing off the connector, rotate it 180° so the arc cut-out is on the opposite side, and re-install the outer housing until you hear a faint audible click.

How do I change the gender (male to female) of the connector?

First remove the outer housing per the polarity changeover instructions. Locate the hole in the inner housing on the slotted side and position a pin retraction tool over the hole. Insert the tool into the hole, press down gently, and push forward to advance connector pins to the male state. Repeat in the opposite direction to retract pins for female state. Then re-install outer housing in the correct orientation.

What tool is needed for gender changeover?

A pin retraction tool is required to advance or retract the connector pins. This tool is typically included with the cable or available separately from Panduit.

What is the part number for the pin retraction tool?

The manual does not specify a part number for the tool. For assistance, contact Panduit technical support at [e-mail] or call 866-405-6654.

How many times can the connector be re-polarized?

The connector is designed for multiple polarity changes. The outer housing can be removed and rotated repeatedly; however, excessive manipulation may reduce durability. The mating durability is rated at ≥500 matings.

Is this cable suitable for 10G Ethernet?

Yes, this cable is typically a multimode OM3/OM4 fiber optic assembly, supporting 10G Ethernet over distances up to 300 meters. For exact performance, refer to the cable's specifications.

What is the cable length?

The manual does not specify the cable length. Check the product packaging or label for the exact length. Common lengths include 1m, 2m, 3m, or custom.
