Panduit FZ2ELLNSNSNM4.5 OM4 LC Duplex to SC Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ELLNSNSNM4.5 is part of the QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber infrastructure line — a 2-fiber OM4 multimode patch cord with LC duplex to SC connectors, 1.6mm jacketed, finished with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer sheath. It is built for data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber is the priority over field-terminated runs. The LSZH jacket matters in enclosed, poorly ventilated cable pathways: in a fire event, it produces significantly less toxic smoke than PVC or plenum alternatives — a real factor in occupied equipment rooms and facilities where egress is constrained.

Compatibility

Designed for OM4 multimode (50/125µm) infrastructure. LC duplex on one end connects to SFP+ transceivers, switches, and active equipment with LC ports — common on data center ToR switches, fiber channel HBAs, and 10/40G network gear. SC on the other end pairs with legacy SC patch panels, building entrance terminals, and fiber distribution frames still common in structured cabling plants built to TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801. Compliant with ANSI/TIA-942-B data center cabling standards, making it appropriate for Tier-rated data center buildouts that require standards-traceable bill of materials. Works with any fiber optic networking infrastructure supporting OM4 multimode. Compatible with Panduit's QuickNet™ fiber patch panel systems and similar structured cabling platforms from other manufacturers that accept LC or SC terminations.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm jacket diameter is thinner than standard 2mm or 3mm cordage — it routes cleanly through high-density cable managers and tight bend-radius fittings without adding bulk, but handle with appropriate care in environments with heavy foot traffic or frequent moves-adds-changes. LSZH compound is less flexible than PVC at very low temperatures; if deploying in cold storage or outdoor equipment shelters, verify the installation temperature range against your facility's conditions. MOQ of 10 units (PK1MOQ10) — order quantity applies per pack; plan for full-pack procurement on initial deployment. For data center cabling projects requiring standards compliance, verify the patch cord count against your fiber management panel layout before ordering.
