Panduit FX2ELLNLNSNM9.5 OM3 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ELLNLNSNM9.5 is a factory-terminated OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, such as telecommunications rooms and data centers. This cable facilitates rapid deployment, bypassing field termination complexities for quicker infrastructure build-outs.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors, ensuring compatibility with standard LC ports found on network switches, servers, and transceivers. It is designed for use with OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure, supporting applications requiring 50/125µm fiber, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40/100GbE) over shorter distances (e.g., 70-100 meters depending on equipment). It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, guaranteeing interoperability with compliant network equipment.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter and LSZH jacket provide a balance of durability and flexibility for rack and cabinet installations. Ensure adequate bend radius is maintained to prevent signal degradation; OM3 fiber requires a minimum bend radius of 7.5mm when unjacketed and 15mm when jacketed. The factory termination eliminates the need for specialized fiber optic termination tools and consumables in the field, streamlining the installation process.
