Panduit FS2EPKFKFNFM002 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FS2EPKFKFNFM002 is a 2-meter (6.56 ft) duplex fiber optic patch cord utilizing OM4+ multimode fiber. It features keyed LC duplex connectors on both ends, ensuring correct polarity and simplifying installation in environments where physical security and correct connection pairing are critical. The OFNP (Plenum Rated) jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces within commercial buildings. This patch cord is designed for high-speed data transmission in network infrastructure, including data centers and enterprise networks.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use with standard LC duplex fiber optic interfaces. The keyed connectors ensure proper alignment and prevent incorrect mating, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity. It is compatible with a wide range of network equipment and fiber optic systems that utilize LC connectors, including switches, routers, servers, and transceivers requiring OM4+ performance specifications. The keyed nature specifically supports Panduit's coded fiber optic systems for enhanced physical security.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), allowing for installation in air handling spaces (plenum) without additional conduit in many jurisdictions, provided local codes permit. The 1.6mm zipcord construction offers flexibility. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation and damage. The keyed connectors simplify correct polarity installation, reducing the risk of errors.
