Panduit OM3 2F 1.6MM PC Ofnr Pushpull Lc/sc DEA - FX2ERQ1SNSNM028

Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM028 OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM028 is a 28-meter (91.9 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for rapid deployment in high-density environments. It features a 1.6mm diameter, Riser (OFNR) rated jacket, and PushPull LC Duplex connectors on one end, terminating in SC Duplex on the other. This cable is engineered for data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where quick, reliable fiber connectivity is essential for network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is built to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with standard fiber optic networking equipment. The LC Duplex and SC Duplex connectors are industry-standard interfaces for connecting network switches, servers, and patch panels in structured cabling systems. Its OM3 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding backbone and horizontal cabling applications.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) flammability rating means this cable is suitable for use in vertical pathways within a building but not in plenums. The PushPull LC Duplex connectors provide a secure, tool-less connection and disconnection mechanism, simplifying installation and maintenance in tight spaces. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 1.6 inches or 40mm for this 1.6mm cable) to avoid signal degradation and maintain performance integrity.
