Description

Panduit FZ2ELLNLNSNM005 Opti-Core™ OM4 LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Panduit's FZ2ELLNLNSNM005 delivers OM4 laser-optimized multimode performance in a compact 1.6mm LSZH jacket, purpose-built for 40/100GBASE-SR deployments where European fire codes or plenum-alternative requirements rule out PVC. The aqua jacket color-codes OM4 spec at a glance; LC duplex connectors on both ends match the high-density footprint of modern switch faceplates and pre-terminated cassettes. At 5 meters (16.4 ft), this length bridges typical equipment-area rack-to-rack or horizontal cross-connect distances without excess slack that invites bend-radius violations.

Key Features

  • OM4 50-micron multimode fiber — 400m reach @ 10G, 150m @ 40G, 100m @ 100G over 850nm VCSELs
  • LC duplex connectors both ends — ceramic ferrule, push-pull latch, FOCIS-10 compliant geometry
  • 1.6mm LSZH jacket — <0.5% halogen, <25% smoke transmission per IEC 61034, EN 50267
  • Aqua jacket — industry-standard OM4 color code per TIA-598-D
  • 5-meter (16.4 ft) length — rack-to-rack or horizontal distribution without excess
  • Standard insertion loss — ≤0.35 dB typical per mated pair
  • Opti-Core™ sub-brand — Panduit's structured fiber platform with cross-series compatibility

OM4 fiber's 4700 MHz·km modal bandwidth at 850nm enables VCSEL-based 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 over distances that cover intra-building horizontal and equipment-area topologies — spine-leaf fabrics, SAN fabrics, and high-speed server NICs. The 50-micron core diameter maintains backward compatibility with legacy OM3 and OM2 links (at those lower specs), so this cable drops into existing MMF infrastructure without re-terminating wall plates or cassettes. LC duplex connectors deliver insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss better than -20 dB, meeting ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 Channel performance when mated to Panduit or third-party LC adapters. The 1.6mm reduced-diameter jacket eases congestion in high-density patch panels and vertical cable managers; LSZH compound substitutes for PVC in European installations (where Euroclass Cca-s1,d1,a1 ratings apply) and in North American spaces where authority-having-jurisdiction interprets plenum as requiring low-smoke materials.

Deploy this cable in equipment rooms connecting top-of-rack switches to spine aggregation switches, in telecommunications rooms patching floor distributors to backbone cassettes, or in office environments running 10GBASE-SR from wall plates to workstation NICs. The 5-meter length suits single-rack adjacency or cross-aisle runs in open floor plans; for longer horizontal or backbone segments, pair with Panduit's Opti-Core™ pre-terminated trunk assemblies. The aqua jacket integrates visually with TIA-598-D color schemes — OM3 is aqua, OM4 is aqua with an erika-violet stripe (though this cable uses solid aqua per legacy convention), and OM5 is lime green — so technicians identify fiber grade without reading labels during MACs.

Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, and CENELEC EN 50173 for multimode optical fiber cabling, this patch cord meets FOCIS-3 (SC) and FOCIS-10 (LC) connector interface standards for physical contact geometry and endface polish. Factory-terminated and tested, each cable ships with a test report tracing insertion loss to NIST-traceable reference standards. That traceability closes the loop on TIA-526-14-B OFLP test methods and ensures the installed channel passes certification when you splice these jumpers into a Panduit Opti-Core cassette-based system or any TIA-compliant fiber infrastructure.
