Panduit FS2EPKFLFNFM002 Opti-Core 2m OM4+ Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2EPKFLFNFM002 is a 2-meter OM4+ multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-bandwidth datacenter and commercial security installations. Built on Panduit's Opti-Core platform, this plenum-rated jumper features keyed LC duplex connectors on both ends to prevent misconnection in dense patch-panel environments. OM4+ fiber supports 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet applications at full channel distances, making it the right choice for NVR uplinks, SAN connectivity, and future-proofed IP camera aggregation networks where standard OM3 won't meet the loss budget.

Key Features

OM4+ multimode fiber — 40/100G Ethernet capable with tighter loss and bandwidth specs than standard OM4

Keyed LC duplex connectors — physical tab prevents accidental insertion into non-keyed adapters, reducing fiber-face damage

Plenum (OFNP) rated jacket — UL 910 compliant for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit

2-meter length — ideal for rack-to-patch-panel, switch-to-switch, or short cross-connect runs in structured cabling

Opti-Core construction — Panduit's engineered geometry and polishing process for consistent insertion loss <0.25 dB

Dark blue jacket — OM4/OM4+ industry standard color coding for instant fiber-type identification in the field

OM4+ fiber is a performance tier above OM4, certified to the same 850 nm laser-optimized standards but manufactured to tighter tolerances on effective modal bandwidth (EMB) and insertion loss. In practice, this means an OM4+ link has more margin in the loss budget — critical when you're aggregating sixteen 10G camera feeds into a 40G uplink and the channel includes multiple mated pairs, angled connectors, or older OM3 trunk cable. The keyed LC connector body has a molded tab that mates only with keyed duplex adapters, preventing accidental connection to simplex ports or non-keyed faceplates. This mechanical interlock matters in live production networks where a misconnection can take down an entire surveillance subnet or iSCSI path.

The plenum jacket meets NFPA 262 / UL 910 flame and smoke requirements, so you can route this jumper through ceiling plenums, raised floors, and HVAC chases without metal conduit — a real advantage in retrofit datacenter builds or IT closets where every U of rack space and every hour of install labor has a cost. Two meters gives you the reach for typical rack-to-adjacent-rack cross-connects, patch-panel-to-switch verticals, or switch-to-storage-array connections in a 42U cabinet without excess service loop that invites kinking or excessive bend radius violations. Panduit Opti-Core patch cords are factory-terminated and tested, shipping with individual insertion-loss test reports traceable to NIST standards — not field-terminated assemblies with hand-polished endfaces and guesswork attenuation.

RoHS compliant, compatible with all LC duplex multimode systems, and backed by Panduit's structured cabling warranty when installed per TIA-568 guidelines. This is the patch cord you specify when the link budget matters, the install is permanent, and you're not gambling on no-name imports that fail at connector retention force or flame testing. For integrators running 10/25/40G camera networks, SAN fabrics, or converged IP infrastructure, the FS2EPKFLFNFM002 delivers field-proven reliability in the 2-meter length that handles 95% of horizontal patch applications.
