Panduit FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM020 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM020 is a 20-meter, duplex, OM4 fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth applications within data centers and enterprise networks. Its 1.6mm diameter Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket provides flame retardancy and reduced smoke emission, making it suitable for plenum spaces or environments where safety regulations mandate such materials. This cable ensures reliable, high-speed data transmission for critical network infrastructure, supporting backbone connections between switches, servers, and storage devices.

Compatibility

This OM4 fiber optic patch cable is compatible with all network equipment utilizing LC-type fiber optic connectors, including switches, routers, servers, and transceivers operating at 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE speeds. It is designed to interconnect network devices within racks and across rows in structured cabling systems. Specific compatibility extends to equipment from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HPE, and any other manufacturer employing standard LC duplex fiber interfaces.

Installation Notes

Maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.6 inches (40mm) during installation to prevent signal degradation or cable damage. Avoid sharp bends or kinks. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to guarantee optimal performance and prevent contamination of optical ports. The LSZH jacket requires consideration for routing in plenum-rated spaces per local building codes.
