Panduit F92ERLNLNSNM020 OS2 LC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERLNLNSNM020 Opti-Core fiber patch cord delivers single-mode OS2 connectivity over 20 meters (65.6 ft) with LC duplex terminations on both ends. Built on 9/125 micron single-mode fiber in a yellow 1.6mm riser-rated (OFNR) jacket, this 2-fiber cable provides the low insertion loss and wavelength performance required for high-speed data transmission in enterprise networks, security system backhauls, and datacenter interconnects. Factory-terminated LC duplex connectors ensure consistent optical performance and eliminate field termination labor and test time on structured cabling projects.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125 micron) supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet and long-distance transmission
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for compatibility with switches, media converters, SFP/SFP+ transceivers, and fiber cassettes
• 20-meter (65.6 ft) length suited for rack-to-rack, room-to-room, or intra-building connections
• OFNR (riser-rated) jacket meets NEC fire and smoke requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• Yellow jacket provides instant identification of single-mode fiber in multi-cable environments
• Factory-terminated and tested to TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) ensures certified insertion loss performance
• 1.6mm cable diameter enables high-density routing in cable managers and pathways
• Standards-compliant: ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3 for structured cabling installations

OS2 single-mode fiber is the backbone of high-bandwidth, long-distance optical networks. The 9-micron core and 125-micron cladding support transmission wavelengths at 1310nm and 1550nm with minimal attenuation, making this cable suitable for 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 applications over distances up to 10 kilometers when used with appropriate optics. LC duplex connectors are the industry-standard small-form-factor interface for fiber networking equipment—each connector houses two fibers (transmit and receive) in a compact footprint that doubles port density compared to legacy SC connectors. Panduit's factory termination process includes end-face polishing, inspection, and insertion loss testing to ensure every patch cord meets TIA-568-C.3 performance limits for insertion loss and return loss straight out of the package. The OFNR jacket rating certifies flame propagation and smoke generation characteristics for installation in vertical risers and plenums (when used with plenum-rated raceway), meeting NEC Articles 770 and 800 requirements for optical fiber cables in commercial buildings.

In IP surveillance and access control deployments, this patch cord is the go-to interconnect for fiber-based camera backhauls, switch uplinks, and building-to-building links where copper Ethernet reaches its 100-meter distance limit. Use it to connect fiber-equipped PoE switches to core network gear in datacenter rows, link remote equipment closets in campus environments, or patch SFP+ transceivers in storage networks and high-availability server clusters. The 20-meter length covers typical rack-to-rack distances in mid-sized server rooms, IDF-to-MDF runs in multi-story buildings, and cross-aisle connections in datacenter hot/cold aisle layouts. The 1.6mm diameter and flexible riser jacket make this cable easy to dress in vertical cable managers, overhead ladder rack, and high-density fiber trays without exceeding minimum bend radius specifications. When deploying pre-terminated fiber cassettes or MTP/MPO trunk systems, these LC duplex patch cords provide the final connection from the cassette's LC adapter panel to the active switch port, completing the end-to-end structured cabling link.

Panduit's Opti-Core line is engineered for mission-critical structured cabling in commercial datacenters, enterprise telecom rooms, and security infrastructure where downtime costs are measured in minutes and field failures trigger truck rolls. The yellow jacket color-coding aligns with TIA-606-B identification standards for single-mode fiber, reducing the risk of cross-connects between single-mode and multimode systems during maintenance or adds/moves/changes. Factory testing and serialized quality control ensure this patch cord ships ready for immediate deployment in systems requiring TIA-568-C.3 compliance documentation for building acceptance testing or audit trails. For integrators managing fiber installations across multiple sites, Panduit's consistent build quality and standards adherence eliminate the variability that comes with field-terminated connectors and third-party bulk cable assemblies.
