Panduit FZ2ELQ1SNSNM028 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ELQ1SNSNM028 is a 91.9-foot (28-meter) OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety is critical, such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. This pre-terminated cable facilitates rapid deployment, reducing installation time and complexity compared to field-terminated fiber.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, enabling connections between LC-based network equipment and SC-based patch panels or devices. It is built to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant networking infrastructure. The OM4 fiber type supports higher bandwidth and longer reach for 10/40/100 GbE applications compared to OM3.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety but requires careful handling to avoid kinking, which can degrade performance. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal loss or damage. The cable's 1.6mm diameter offers a balance between flexibility and durability for structured cabling deployments.
