HDQ Series Fiber Optic Cassettes are used in high-density network applications as specified in the
Data Center Cabling Standard TIA 942 for cross connects in main distribution, horizontal distribution, and
equipment distribution areas. The QuickNet
™
Pre-Terminated Cabling System meets the demands of Gigabit
Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and high-speed Fibre Channel systems while maintaining compatibility with Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, and ATM. QuickNet
™
HDQ Series Fiber Optic Cassettes are pre-terminated and designed to mount
into 19" wide telecommunications racks allowing 96 fiber connections to be deployed in one rack unit (1 RU)
without additional support infrastructure. This ensures efficient use of space, quick deployment, and the highest
reliability for the lowest installed cost. This space saving one rack unit package provides port mapped compatibly
with the SAN market switch blade leaders, Cisco

features provides lower total cost of ownership; reduces or eliminates the need for additional
infrastructure support
MTP* 12-fiber connector: Provides reduced overall insertion loss with low channel to channel variability for improved channel link
loss performance
Verified optical performance: 100% tested; provides consistent high performance and reliability for improved network integrity
Pre-terminated modular
cassette system:
Provides improved reliability and quick deployment to reduce installation time and cost
Certified 10 GbE OM3
and OM4 performance:
10Gig
™
Fiber Optic Cassettes are tested per IEEE 802.3ae 10 GbE to support network transmission speeds
up to 10 Gb/s for link lengths up to 300 meters at 850nm for OM3 fiber, and for link lengths up to 550 meters
for OM4 fiber; meets Fibre Channel standards when used with Panduit

Fiber Optic Cables
Angled profile design
(Panduit exclusive):
Angled patch field profile eases patch cord flow to vertical cable management; reduces or eliminates the
need for horizontal cable managers; angled profile compatible with existing Panduit copper patch panels
for uniform installations
Consistent port labeling
mapping from switch blade
to patch field:
Product configurations port mapped specifically for Cisco
‡
and Brocade
‡‡
switch blades; customer
can design the fiber cable distribution port labels consistent with specific switch blade
manufacturer conventions
QuickNet

product identification: Data label on each product includes port identification and Q.C. number for quick identification and
100% traceability
Adapter housing colors follow TIA/
EIA-568-C.3 suggested
color identification scheme:
Adapters are aqua for 10Gig
™
50/125μm OM3 and OM4 fiber enabling fast, accurate identification of fiber
channels for easy moves, adds, and changes
