Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM020 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM020 is a 20-meter (65.62 ft) Opti-Core™ OM4+ duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for secure, high-bandwidth data transmission in plenum-rated environments. It utilizes a zipcord jacket and features a unique coded duplex LC connector on one end, pairing exclusively with similarly coded components for enhanced physical security. This cord is ideal for connecting network equipment, servers, and storage devices where data integrity and specific port assignments are critical. The FS2EPKELNNEM020 addresses the need for reliable, high-performance fiber connectivity with an added layer of physical security through its coded connector system.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use within Panduit's fiber-optic-systems infrastructure. The coded duplex LC connector on one end is intended to mate with other Panduit coded duplex LC connectors within the same system, ensuring proper port assignment and preventing misconnections. The standard duplex LC connector on the other end offers broad compatibility with standard LC fiber optic equipment. It is suitable for use with OM4+ fiber optic transceivers and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNP (plenum), suitable for installation in air-handling spaces. The duplex LC connectors require standard LC port access. The coded connector system requires careful attention during installation to ensure correct pairing with compatible Panduit components. Avoid sharp bends to maintain signal integrity; the 1.6mm cable diameter is flexible but requires reasonable care. The orange cable color aids in identification within structured cabling systems.
