Panduit FX23PSNSNSNM015 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FX23PSNSNSNM015 is a 15-meter OM3 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features SC connectors on both ends, terminated with a PC polish for reduced back reflection, and is rated OFNP (Plenum) for safe installation in air-handling spaces. This cable is essential for connecting network equipment like switches, servers, and transceivers where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The FX23PSNSNSNM015 model specifically addresses the need for a moderate-length, high-performance link between devices.

Compatibility

This Panduit OM3 fiber optic patch cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing SC duplex connectors. This includes a wide range of network switches, routers, servers, and optical transceivers (e.g., SFP, SFP+, QSFP) that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE), and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) standards over multimode fiber. It is suitable for use with equipment from major network hardware vendors that adhere to industry standards for optical connectivity.

Installation Notes

The cable's 3mm jacket diameter provides durability for routing within racks and cable management systems. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation and potential damage. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 10x cable diameter for OM3) to maintain signal integrity. The OFNP rating allows for installation in plenum spaces, but local building codes and fire safety regulations must always be followed.
