Panduit HD Flex 2.0 OS2 LC Duplex Fiber Cassette, 24-fiber MTP

The Panduit HD Flex 2.0 OS2 LC Duplex Fiber Cassette (FHCZO-24-10AS) is a high-density, pre-terminated fiber optic interconnect module engineered for deployment within Panduit's HD Flex 2.0 enclosure ecosystem. The cassette provides 24 OS2 single-mode fibers terminated at the front with LC duplex adapters and connected at the rear via a 24-fiber MTP connector, enabling structured cabling infrastructure that supports 100G, 400G, and beyond in spine-leaf data center architectures. The OS2 single-mode designation ensures ultra-low attenuation over extended reach applications, making it well-suited for long-distance campus backbone and data center interconnect scenarios.

The modular cassette form factor allows technicians to pre-stage, swap, and reconfigure fiber paths without disturbing adjacent infrastructure, significantly reducing mean time to change in high-availability environments. Each cassette ships factory-terminated and individually tested to ensure insertion loss compliance, eliminating field termination variability. The rear MTP interface supports polarity management in Base-8 or Base-12 migration frameworks, and the design accommodates both MTP-8 and MTP-12 trunk cable ecosystems depending on deployment configuration.

As part of the HD Flex 2.0 platform, this cassette slides into compatible 1U and 2U HD Flex 2.0 panels and enclosures, enabling port densities that scale to meet the demands of modern hyperscale and enterprise core switching environments. The LC duplex front interface directly maps to 10G and 25G SFP+ and SFP28 transceiver ports, while the MTP backbone supports aggregation into 40G QSFP+ (via MTP-to-4xLC breakout) and 100G QSFP28 or 400G QSFP-DD parallel optic channels. This flexibility positions the cassette as a foundational building block for structured fiber migration strategies across multi-generation network deployments.

Ideal for

• Spine-leaf data center fabric deployments requiring high-density OS2 single-mode fiber interconnects between top-of-rack switches and core spine layers
• 400G migration planning where existing 10G/25G LC infrastructure is aggregated via MTP backbone trunks to support parallel-optic QSFP-DD or QSFP28 uplinks
• Enterprise campus backbone distribution frames where pre-terminated factory-tested cassettes reduce installation time and ensure consistent optical performance
• Colocation and hyperscale facilities requiring modular, hot-swappable fiber cassettes that enable rapid circuit provisioning and reconfiguration without full panel downtime
• Long-haul intra-data-center interconnect segments leveraging OS2 single-mode fiber to minimize insertion loss across extended structured cabling runs between MDA and HDA zones
• Structured cabling refresh projects replacing legacy LC-to-LC patch panels with MTP-backbone cassette systems to increase usable port density within existing rack footprint
