Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNF018 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
The Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNF018 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic cable featuring LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other. This cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical. Its Riser (OFNR) flammability rating makes it suitable for vertical runs within commercial buildings, adhering to safety standards.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for use with standard fiber optic networking equipment that accepts LC Duplex and SC connectors. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network infrastructure components from various manufacturers. 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 core network uplinks and switch-to-switch connections.
Installation Notes
The cable utilizes 1.6mm jacketed fibers, providing a balance of flexibility and protection. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity; avoid tight bends that exceed the minimum specified radius for OM3 fiber to prevent performance degradation. The Riser (OFNR) rating restricts its use to within-building vertical pathways and requires adherence to local building codes for fire safety.
