Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM8.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM8.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERLNSNSNM8.5 is a pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber optic cable designed for rapid deployment in environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities. It features LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, simplifying connections and reducing installation time compared to field-terminated fiber. This cable is constructed with a 1.6mm jacket diameter and a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for vertical pathways within a building.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with standard network equipment featuring LC Duplex and SC fiber optic ports. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with networking infrastructure from various manufacturers. The OM3 (50/125µm) 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 backbone and horizontal connections within these specified distances.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in general building applications but not in plenums. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The pre-terminated nature of this cable eliminates the need for specialized fiber termination tools and splicing equipment on-site, significantly accelerating network build-outs.
