Panduit F92ERLNLNSNM005 Opti-Core™ OS2 LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERLNLNSNM005 delivers carrier-grade single-mode connectivity for datacenter, telecom room, and enterprise network deployments where OS2 fiber performance is required. This 5-meter LC duplex to LC duplex patch cord features Panduit's Opti-Core™ platform engineering—factory-terminated connectors with controlled insertion loss, 1.6mm round cable construction for high-density patching, and OFNR riser jacket rating for vertical pathway compliance. Yellow jacket color follows TIA-598-C single-mode identification standards, simplifying field verification in mixed-fiber environments.

Key Features

OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125 µm) supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet and long-haul telecom links

LC duplex connectors on both ends for direct equipment-to-equipment or cassette-to-cassette interconnection

5-meter (16.4 ft) length suits intra-rack, adjacent-rack, and cross-aisle datacenter patching

1.6mm round cable profile enables tight-radius bends and high-density cable management in confined spaces

Factory-terminated with controlled insertion loss per TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) ferrule geometry standards

OFNR riser-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for vertical building risers without conduit

Yellow jacket per TIA-598-C single-mode color code—instant visual identification in multi-mode/single-mode hybrid installs

RoHS compliant construction for EU and California installations

OS2 single-mode fiber delivers 1 dB/km maximum attenuation at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, supporting 10GBASE-LR (10 km), 40GBASE-LR4 (10 km), and 100GBASE-LR4 (10 km) Ethernet standards without repeaters. The 9 µm core diameter maintains single-mode propagation across C-band and L-band DWDM channels, making this cord suitable for both enterprise datacenter and service provider equipment interconnects. LC duplex connectors use ceramic ferrules with sub-micron core-to-ferrule concentricity—Panduit's factory termination process ensures 0.3 dB typical insertion loss and ≥40 dB return loss, exceeding TIA-568-C.3 Channel performance requirements. The push-pull latch design provides audible click confirmation and tool-free disconnect in high-density SFP+/QSFP28 transceiver arrays.

This patch cord addresses main distribution area (MDA), horizontal distribution area (HDA), and equipment distribution area (EDA) interconnection scenarios per TIA-942 datacenter standards. Use it to link pre-terminated fiber cassettes in modular structured cabling systems, connect spine switches to leaf switches in two-tier architectures, or provide transceiver-to-transceiver links between adjacent server racks. The 1.6mm cable diameter and slim duplex zipcord construction allow 25mm (1-inch) minimum bend radius under no-load conditions, fitting into congested horizontal and vertical cable managers without exceeding fiber stress limits. OFNR riser jacket rating permits installation in vertical shafts and plenums when used with plenum-rated innerduct, eliminating the need for metallic conduit in many building riser applications and reducing material costs in multi-floor deployments.

Meets ISO/IEC 11801 generic cabling standards, TIA/EIA-568-C.3 optical fiber cabling component requirements, TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) SC connector interface, and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) LC connector interface specifications. All components comply with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) for lead-free, mercury-free, cadmium-free construction—mandatory for installations in EU member states, UK, California Title 22, and organizations with global environmental procurement policies. Factory testing and serialized quality control ensure every cord ships ready for immediate deployment in mission-critical fiber links.
