Panduit FS2EPKCLCNCM002 Opti-Core 2-Fiber OM4+ C-Coded Plenum Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2EPKCLCNCM002 delivers secure, high-bandwidth fiber connectivity for surveillance NVRs, access control panels, and converged security networks requiring physical port security. This 2-meter OM4+ duplex patch cord features Panduit's C-coded connector system on one end and a standard non-coded duplex LC on the other, enabling controlled connections between secure head-end equipment and field infrastructure. OFNP plenum rating and Signature Core fiber ensure code-compliant installation in air-handling spaces with ultra-low insertion loss for multi-gigabit performance.

Key Features

C-coded duplex LC connector on one end prevents unauthorized equipment connections—only mates with matching C-coded ports

Standard non-coded duplex LC on opposite end bridges coded head-end gear to legacy non-coded field infrastructure

OM4+ Signature Core fiber supports 10GBASE-SR to 550m, 40GBASE-SR4 to 150m, 100GBASE-SR10 to 125m with headroom for future upgrades

OFNP plenum jacket meets NEC Article 770 for installation in return-air plenums and environmental air spaces without conduit

1.6mm zipcord jacket design allows separation into two individual fibers for tight-radius routing in high-density patch panels

Ultra-low insertion loss specification ensures reliable link budgets for long-distance surveillance camera uplinks and storage replication

The C-coded system adds a mechanical keying layer to Panduit's Opti-Core platform—each connector shell accepts only the matching coded coupler, preventing accidental cross-connection in mixed-security environments or multi-tenant datacenters. Integrators deploying classified surveillance systems, secure access control networks, or segregated VLAN infrastructures use coded fiber to enforce physical separation: a C-coded NVR port physically rejects a non-coded patch cord, eliminating configuration drift and unauthorized tap points. The FS2EPKCLCNCM002's asymmetric design (coded/non-coded) serves as a transition patch between a coded equipment port and a standard infrastructure panel, simplifying retrofits where only the head-end requires keyed protection.

OM4+ Signature Core fiber extends OM4 performance with tighter modal bandwidth specifications, reducing dispersion and enabling longer 10G/40G/100G links without active equipment. Security networks benefit directly: an IP camera 500 meters from the core switch connects reliably at 10GBASE-SR with margin to spare; a 40G storage replication link between redundant NVRs runs 150 meters within a campus backbone; future 100G upgrades require no cable replacement. The 2-meter length fits typical rack-to-rack and rack-to-panel connections in server rooms and IDF closets, while the plenum jacket ensures code compliance in the 70–80% of commercial security installations where cable runs above suspended ceilings in return-air pathways. Panduit's factory-terminated LC connectors deliver insertion loss below 0.25 dB typical, preserving link budget on multi-hop paths and reducing troubleshooting time—integrators confirm continuity and loss with an OLTS, then move to the next drop.

The green zipcord jacket provides at-a-glance OM4+ identification during adds, moves, and changes, while the 1.6mm zipcord construction separates into two individual 0.9mm fibers for final routing through narrow pass-throughs and around tight corners in crowded enclosures. Panduit's Opti-Core system is backed by comprehensive insertion-loss and return-loss test data, serialized labeling for asset tracking, and RoHS compliance for federal and international deployments. Integrators specify the FS2EPKCLCNCM002 when a surveillance or access control project demands both the physical security of coded connectors and the backward compatibility to interface with existing non-coded plant—one patch cord, one connection, zero guesswork.
