Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNF015 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNF015 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNF015 is a 2-fiber, OM3 multimode fiber optic cable designed for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. Its pre-terminated construction with LC Duplex on one end and SC on the other significantly reduces installation time compared to field-terminated fiber, ensuring a reliable connection for high-speed data transmission.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to connect equipment with LC Duplex ports to equipment with SC ports. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with networking equipment from various manufacturers that utilize these common fiber optic interface types. The OM3 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications within these environments.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm jacket diameter and is Riser (OFNR) rated, suitable for vertical runs in commercial buildings but not in plenums. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to avoid signal degradation; OM3 fiber has a minimum bend radius of 50mm (2 inches) when un-loaded and 25mm (1 inch) when loaded. The LC Duplex connector requires a specific orientation for correct polarity, which is typically maintained by the connector housing itself.
