Panduit F92ERQ1Q1SNM001 Opti-Core™ OS2 Fiber Patch Cord
The Panduit F92ERQ1Q1SNM001 is a 1-meter duplex single-mode fiber patch cord from the Opti-Core™ line, designed for high-density data center interconnects, telecom room cross-connects, and equipment-to-panel jumpers. Built on OS2 9/125µm fiber with LC duplex push-pull connectors and a compact 1.6 mm cable diameter, this OFNR-rated jumper delivers standard insertion loss and full compliance with ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568-C.3, and FOCIS interface standards. The yellow jacket aids circuit identification, while push-pull LC connectors reduce port wear in confined patch-panel spaces.
Key Features
- OS2 Single-Mode Fiber: 9/125µm geometry supports 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, 100GBASE-LR4 up to 10 km with ≤0.4 dB/km @ 1310 nm and ≤0.3 dB/km @ 1550 nm.
- LC Duplex Push-Pull Connectors: One-handed insertion/extraction in high-density panels, reducing adjacent-port disturbance and latch fatigue vs. standard LC tabs.
- 1.6 mm Cable Diameter: Ultra-slim duplex construction fits narrow cable managers and high-port-count 1U patch panels.
- OFNR Riser Rating: Flame-retardant jacket meets OFNR code for vertical riser installations between floors and equipment rooms.
- 1-Meter Length: 3.28-foot reach ideal for rack-to-rack, equipment-to-panel, and short cross-connects within the same telecom room.
- Yellow Jacket: TIA-598-C single-mode color coding (yellow = OS2) simplifies circuit tracing in mixed-mode environments.
- Standards-Compliant: Factory-terminated to TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10 LC) and TIA-568-C.3, ensuring interoperability with all major switch and cassette vendors.
Technical Foundation: OS2-grade single-mode fiber provides low-dispersion, long-reach transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, suitable for 10 Gb/s links up to 10 km and 40G/100G standards over multi-kilometer backbones. LC duplex connectors conform to IEC 61754-20 / TIA-604-10 with typical insertion loss under 0.3 dB and return loss exceeding 50 dB (UPC polish). Push-pull actuation replaces traditional LC latches with a sliding collar, allowing extraction by pulling the boot—critical in high-density 1U patch panels where finger access between adjacent ports is restricted. The 1.6 mm cable diameter uses tight-buffered duplex construction with aramid-yarn strength members and an OFNR-rated jacket satisfying NEC Article 770 for vertical pathways and horizontal runs.
Deployment Use Cases: This 1-meter jumper serves three primary roles: equipment-to-panel connections (switch SFP+/QSFP28 ports to patch-panel or cassette fronts), panel-to-panel cross-connects (MDA-to-HDA links in two-tier star topologies), and rack-to-rack adjacency links where permanent cabling isn't required. The Opti-Core™ line integrates with Panduit preterminated cassette modules (FAP, FQSP series) in FMT/FMP enclosures; installers pull MTP/MPO trunks to the distribution area, snap cassettes into panels, and use LC jumpers like the F92ERQ1Q1SNM001 to complete the channel. Yellow jacket color (TIA-598-C: yellow = OS2 single-mode) reduces mode-mismatch errors during maintenance. Push-pull LC connectors excel in modular cassette systems packing 288 fibers per 1U, where standard LC latches become difficult to operate in center ports.
The Panduit Opti-Core™ F92ERQ1Q1SNM001 combines OS2 fiber, push-pull LC termination, 1.6 mm diameter, OFNR rating, and 1-meter length to address high-density fiber deployments: future-proof bandwidth (10G/40G/100G), installer-friendly actuation in tight spaces, pathway efficiency, and riser fire-code compliance—the fit-for-purpose jumper for integrators building or upgrading structured cabling in enterprise data centers, telecom facilities, and IP security network backbones. Includes manufacturer warranty and ships in single-unit packaging (10 units per carton).
