Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM5.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM5.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM5.5 is a QuickNet™ OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It provides a pre-terminated infrastructure solution for rapid installation, reducing deployment time and complexity in environments like entrance facilities and equipment distribution areas. This 2-fiber cable uses 1.6mm jacketed construction with an OFNR (Riser) flammability rating, making it suitable for vertical cable runs within a building.

Compatibility

This cable features LC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with network devices, switches, and transceivers that utilize the LC form factor. The OM3 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, aligning with modern high-speed networking standards. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant equipment.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) rating indicates suitability for use within building riser shafts but not in air-handling plenums. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, especially given the 1.6mm cable diameter. The LC Duplex connectors snap securely into standard LC ports on network equipment.
