Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM042 OM3 2F 1.6MM PC Ofnr Pushpull Lc/sc DEA

Overview

The Panduit FX2ERQ1SNSNM042 is a 42-meter (137.8 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise networking environments. Its Push-Pull LC Duplex connectors enable quick and secure mating, ideal for applications requiring rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. This cable leverages the QuickNet™ system for efficient infrastructure build-out.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to integrate with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B compliant fiber optic infrastructure. The LC Duplex connectors are standard for many network switches, servers, and fiber optic patch panels used in enterprise and data center environments. 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 high-bandwidth backbone and horizontal cabling.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) flammability rating indicates this cable is suitable for use within the walls of buildings but not in plenums. The 1.6mm cable diameter with a 2-fiber count offers a balance of density and manageability. The Push-Pull connector mechanism simplifies connection and disconnection, reducing installation time and the need for specialized tools beyond standard fiber optic termination and testing equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain signal integrity.
