Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM016 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM016 is a 16-meter (52.5 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise network backbones. Its Riser (OFNR) rating makes it suitable for vertical runs within buildings. This cable features LC Duplex connectors on both ends, enabling full-duplex communication and simplifying connections in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical.

Compatibility

This OM3 fiber optic cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing LC Duplex connectors and requiring OM3 multimode fiber specifications. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking hardware, including switches, routers, and transceivers from various manufacturers designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40/100GbE) applications over short to medium distances.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable jacket with an OFNR rating is designed for indoor riser applications. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The push-pull connector design simplifies insertion and removal, but care should be taken to avoid contamination of the fiber end-faces before connecting.
