Panduit FX23LSNSNSNM6.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FX23LSNSNSNM6.5 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FX23LSNSNSNM6.5 is a 2-fiber, OM3 multimode, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) patch cord terminated with SC Duplex connectors on both ends. This cable is designed for rapid deployment in environments where high-speed data transmission is critical, such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. Its construction ensures safety in plenum spaces due to the LSZH jacket.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes standard SC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with any network equipment, transceivers (like SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and patch panels featuring corresponding SC Duplex ports. The OM3 fiber type is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40/100GbE) up to 100 meters using parallel optics. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket material reduces toxic smoke and corrosive acid gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installation in plenum or other sensitive spaces. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity; OM3 fiber typically requires a minimum bend radius of 50mm (2 inches) when under no tension and 100mm (4 inches) when under tension. The SC Duplex connectors provide a secure, keyed connection suitable for high-density environments.
