Panduit OM4 2F 1.6MM PC Lszh LC Dup/sc PK1MOQ10 - FZ2ELLNSNSNM8.5

Panduit FZ2ELLNSNSNM8.5 OM4 Duplex LC/SC LSZH Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ELLNSNSNM8.5 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode patch cable from the QuickNet™ pre-terminated infrastructure line. It ships factory-terminated with LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, using 1.6mm 50/125µm OM4 glass — the grade specified for 40GbE and 100GbE short-reach links where every dB of insertion loss budget matters. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket means combustion byproducts are dramatically reduced compared to PVC or plenum-rated alternatives — a hard requirement in many European data center and transit facility specs, and increasingly adopted in North American builds where evacuation safety drives the cable spec. This cable is built for fiber optic cabling infrastructure in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated assemblies eliminate field-termination variables and accelerate turn-up.

Compatibility

OM4 multimode (50/125µm) is backward compatible with OM3 equipment but is specified for runs requiring the higher modal bandwidth OM4 provides — typically 100m at 10GbE, 150m at 10GbE OM4-rated, and up to 100m at 40GbE/100GbE when paired with compatible transceivers. The LC Duplex / SC connector pairing targets interconnects between LC-equipped active equipment (switches, servers, SFP+ transceivers) and SC-patched passive panels or legacy SC-terminated gear. This assembly integrates directly with Panduit QuickNet modular cassette systems, patch panels, and enclosures that accept LC or SC terminations. Standards compliance covers TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, confirming suitability for structured cabling deployments in enterprise network infrastructure environments that require certified-to-standard documentation. Verify transceiver modal bandwidth requirements before specifying OM4 vs. OM3 — OM4 is the safe choice when headroom matters.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm jacket diameter is slimmer than standard 2mm or 3mm duplex constructions — plan for higher-density routing and ensure bend radius management in high-fill pathways. LSZH jackets are less flexible than PVC at low temperatures; install above the rated ambient minimum. Pre-terminated factory assemblies eliminate polishing variables but confirm polarity (Type A, B, or C) against your structured cabling layout before ordering — connector polarity corrections on a live panel are time-consuming. The MOQ of 10 units (PK1MOQ10) is encoded in the part number; this cable is sold in packs of 10, not individually.
