Panduit FX2ERLNLNSNM8.5 OM3 Fiber Cable

Panduit FX2ERLNLNSNM8.5 OM3 Fiber Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERLNLNSNM8.5 is a 10-meter, 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its pre-terminated LC Duplex connectors and 1.6mm OFNR riser-rated jacket facilitate rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, minimizing installation time and complexity. This cable provides a reliable link for network infrastructure requiring robust fiber connectivity.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard LC Duplex fiber optic ports found on network switches, servers, and optical transceivers. It is compatible with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B compliant equipment and infrastructure, ensuring interoperability within structured cabling systems. The OM3 fiber type is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40/100GbE) up to 100 meters.

Installation Notes

The riser (OFNR) rating indicates suitability for use within vertical pathways between floors, but not in air handling spaces. Always ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 1.6 inches or 40mm) to maintain signal integrity and prevent cable damage. The 1.6mm jacket diameter offers a balance of protection and flexibility for dense installations.
