Panduit FX2ELLNSNSNM0.5 OM3 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ELLNSNSNM0.5 is a pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for rapid deployment in high-density environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety is critical. This cable uses LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, facilitating connections between different types of fiber optic equipment. The 50/125µm fiber core supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 300 meters, making it a practical choice for backbone or horizontal cabling in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to connect standard LC Duplex ports to standard SC ports. It is compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, or transceivers utilizing LC Duplex or SC connectors, respectively, and supporting OM3 multimode fiber specifications. This includes a wide range of switches, servers, and fiber optic modules used in enterprise and data center networking infrastructure adhering to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket requires careful handling to avoid damage. Maintain minimum bend radius specifications (typically 10x cable diameter for OM3, consult Panduit documentation for exact figures) to prevent signal degradation. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent performance issues. The cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments.
