Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM012 OM3 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM012 is a 12-meter (39.4 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise environments. It features LC duplex connectors on both ends and is rated OFNR (Riser) for vertical pathway installations. This cable is engineered for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, reducing installation time and complexity for pre-terminated fiber infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing LC duplex connectors and requiring OM3 multimode fiber specifications. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking hardware, including switches, transceivers, and patch panels from various manufacturers. Its design supports applications requiring up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over distances up to 300 meters and 40 Gbps/100 Gbps over shorter distances, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling within these environments.

Installation Notes

The cable's 1.6mm jacket diameter and OFNR rating are suitable for vertical runs within cable trays or conduits. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 12mm for OM3) to avoid signal degradation. The push-pull LC connectors facilitate quick and secure mating with compatible ports without the need for specialized tools beyond standard fiber optic cleaning supplies.
