Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM003 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM003 is a 3-meter (9.84 ft) Opti-Core™ OM4+ duplex fiber optic patch cord. It's designed for structured cabling systems where physical security and reliable data transmission are paramount. The OFNP (plenum-rated) jacket makes it suitable for installation in air handling spaces, common in commercial and enterprise environments. This specific assembly features a coded LC connector on one end and a standard LC connector on the other, ensuring correct polarity and simplifying system configuration.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed to terminate into standard LC duplex ports found in network switches, transceivers (like SFP, SFP+, QSFP), and patch panels within Panduit's fiber-optic-systems catalog. The coded LC connector is intended for pairing with other Panduit components featuring the same coding scheme, enhancing physical security by preventing accidental or unauthorized cross-connections. It is compatible with OM4+ fiber infrastructure, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNP (Oxygen Free Plenum National Pipe Thread), allowing installation in air-handling plenums. The cord assembly utilizes a 1.6mm zipcord jacket. The coded LC connector on one end requires a matching coded port for secure termination, while the standard LC connector offers universal compatibility with standard LC duplex ports. Ensure proper strain relief during installation to maintain cable integrity and performance.
