Panduit F92ERQ1Q1SNM002 Opti-Core OS2 LC Duplex Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERQ1Q1SNM002 delivers factory-terminated precision for single-mode fiber interconnects in enterprise MDF/IDF installations, datacenter cross-connects, and vertical riser runs. This 2-meter OS2-rated patch cord features LC duplex push-pull connectors on both ends, a 1.6mm reduced-diameter cable design for high-density panel management, and OFNR riser-rated jacketing that meets NEC Article 770 requirements for vertical building pathways. Yellow jacket color provides instant single-mode identification in mixed fiber environments. Part of Panduit's Opti-Core product line, this jumper exceeds TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 insertion loss and return loss specifications, shipping with full factory test certification.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber, 9/125µm core diameter, supports 10G/40G/100G applications up to 10 km and beyond
• LC duplex push-pull connectors both ends—industry-standard small form factor for SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules
• 1.6mm reduced-diameter cable enables 40-60% higher port density vs. standard 3mm cordage in confined rack spaces
• OFNR riser-rated jacket (UL 1666 compliant) for code-legal installation in vertical shafts and plenum-to-floor transitions
• Yellow PVC jacket follows TIA-598-D color code for instant single-mode/OS2 identification
• Factory-terminated and individually tested—guaranteed insertion loss ≤0.35 dB, return loss ≥50 dB per TIA-568-C.3
• 2-meter (6.56 ft) length suits typical rack-to-rack, panel-to-switch, and cassette interconnect scenarios
• RoHS compliant, exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) connector performance standards

Single-mode OS2 fiber provides the insertion loss budget and chromatic dispersion characteristics required for 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 optics across campus backbone and datacenter spine-leaf topologies. The 9µm core diameter and tight modal bandwidth specification ensure bit-error-rate performance at distances where multimode OM3/OM4 cannot scale. Factory termination eliminates the variability introduced by field splicing or mechanical connectors—each cord ships with insertion loss and return loss test data traceable to NIST-certified reference standards. LC push-pull connectors latch positively into SFP/SFP+/QSFP cages with tactile feedback and require only 6mm panel spacing, a critical advantage when patching 48-port 1RU switch fabrics or ultra-high-density fiber enclosures. The 1.6mm reduced-diameter cable construction cuts bend radius requirements to 15mm (30× cable OD per TIA-568-C.3 Annex D), allowing tighter service loops and cleaner horizontal/vertical cable management without exceeding the 10× macrobend loss penalty threshold at 1550nm.

Deploy this jumper in building riser pathways connecting floor-specific telecommunications rooms to a centralized main distribution frame, in datacenter East-West leaf switch interconnects, or as cassette-to-cassette links within Panduit's FAP pre-terminated fiber systems. The OFNR riser rating satisfies NEC 770.154(A) for installation in vertical runs and non-plenum horizontal pathways without additional conduit—critical for retrofits in occupied buildings where plenum-rated OFNP cordage is cost-prohibitive and standard OFNG cordage is code-illegal. Yellow jacketing prevents accidental cross-patching with OM3/OM4 multimode circuits (aqua jacket per TIA-598-D), reducing troubleshooting time when a 10GBASE-SR transceiver is mistakenly inserted into a single-mode link. The 2-meter length matches the typical vertical separation between a floor-mounted rack and an overhead cable tray drop point, or the horizontal span between two adjacent relay racks in a hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout, minimizing excess cable slack that increases airflow obstruction and thermal loading in ASHRAE TC 9.9-compliant cooling zones.

Panduit Opti-Core patch cords undergo automated interferometric insertion loss testing at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths plus optical time-domain reflectometry for end-face geometry verification—factory QC that commodity patch cord suppliers skip. TIA-568-C.3 compliance ensures compatibility with structured cabling warranties from Panduit, Corning, CommScope, and other Tier-1 manufacturers that void coverage when non-certified interconnects are used. RoHS compliance satisfies WEEE Directive 2002/95/EC material restrictions for installations in EU member states or multinational enterprises with global environmental procurement standards. Choosing factory-terminated cordage over field-installable connectors eliminates the labor cost of fusion splicing or epoxy-and-polish termination, the equipment cost of fusion splicers and optical loss test sets, and the insertion loss variability (±0.5 dB) introduced by technician skill level—delivering consistent sub-0.35 dB performance across every link in your fiber infrastructure.
