Panduit FX2ELQ1SNSNM018 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ELQ1SNSNM018 is an 18-meter (59.1 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures safety compliance in plenum spaces, making it suitable for data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where rapid, pre-terminated infrastructure is critical for efficient deployment and reduced installation time. This cable utilizes PushPull LC Duplex connectors, simplifying connection and disconnection in dense racks.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with standard OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure. It terminates with LC Duplex connectors, compatible with a wide range of network switches, servers, and fiber optic patch panels that accept this connector type. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant equipment in data center and telecommunications room deployments.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket provides fire safety for indoor installations, particularly in air-handling spaces. The PushPull LC Duplex connectors offer a secure latching mechanism that is easy to engage and disengage, even in tight spaces, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections. Ensure proper bend radius is maintained during installation to prevent signal degradation and fiber damage; the 1.6mm cable diameter supports tighter bends than larger cables.
