Panduit FS2EPKGLGNGM003 Opti-Core 2-Fiber OM4+ Plenum LC Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2EPKGLGNGM003 is a 3-meter duplex LC fiber optic patch cord engineered for high-bandwidth surveillance and data applications requiring physical-layer security. This OM4+ jumper features Signature Core fiber with ultra-low insertion loss, one G-coded violet LC connector for secure zone termination, and one standard violet LC connector for integration with non-coded infrastructure. Plenum-rated (OFNP) for installation in air handling spaces, it delivers 40G/100G performance with the added protection of Panduit's keyed connector system—ensuring unauthorized patch cords cannot be substituted in security-critical links.

Key Features

• G-coded/non-coded hybrid configuration — secure zone to standard zone connectivity without adapter penalties
• OM4+ Signature Core fiber — ultra-low insertion loss for maximum link budget in 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications
• Plenum-rated (OFNP) — compliant for installation in HVAC plenums, cable trays, and above-ceiling pathways
• Duplex LC connectors — industry-standard interface for switches, media converters, SFP+ transceivers, and fiber panels
• 3-meter length — optimized for rack-to-rack, equipment-to-patch-panel, and cross-connect applications
• Violet jacket — OM4+ color code per TIA-598-D for instant fiber type identification

Panduit's G-coded connector system adds a mechanical keying layer to your fiber infrastructure. The precision-molded key profile on the coded end mates only with G-coded adapters, preventing accidental or intentional cross-patching with non-secure jumpers. This is critical in environments where surveillance NVRs, access control servers, or sensitive data switches must remain isolated from general-purpose network drops. The FS2EPKGLGNGM003's hybrid design—one coded, one standard—bridges secure and non-secure zones without requiring dual adapter types or gender changers, reducing insertion loss and simplifying headend layouts.

OM4+ fiber supports 40 Gbps to 150 meters and 100 Gbps to 100 meters over multimode links, making this jumper future-ready for high-camera-count IP surveillance backhauls, 4K/8K video walls, and converged IT/physical-security networks. The Signature Core construction delivers typical insertion loss below 0.2 dB, preserving optical power budget for longer campus runs or high-split-ratio passive optical networks. Plenum rating meets NEC Article 770 for installation without conduit in air-return ceilings—common in office buildings, hospitals, schools, and government facilities. The 1.6 mm zipcord jacket is flexible enough for tight bend radii in congested patch panels yet durable enough for repeated reconnections during adds/moves/changes.

Panduit Opti-Core patch cords are factory-terminated and tested to exceed TIA-568.3-D and IEC 61753-1 performance standards. RoHS-compliant construction supports green building certifications and export compliance. For integrators deploying secure fiber links in mixed-classification networks—where policy requires physical separation between camera VLANs and corporate data, or where CJIS/HIPAA/defense contractors mandate keyed connections—the FS2EPKGLGNGM003 delivers both the performance and the physical access control that logical segmentation alone cannot provide.
