Overview

The Panduit FS2EPKCKCNCM005 is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) Opti-Core™ duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for secure and reliable data connections within structured cabling systems. Featuring keyed LC connectors on both ends, this cord ensures proper polarity and prevents accidental mismatches, a critical factor in maintaining signal integrity and system performance, especially in environments demanding physical security and specific cable management protocols. The 1.6mm zipcord jacket and OFNP (plenum-rated) flammability rating make it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces.

Compatibility

This patch cord utilizes keyed duplex LC connectors, designed to pair with corresponding keyed duplex LC ports. It is intended for use within Panduit's Opti-Core™ and Signature Core™ fiber optic systems and any other system that employs keyed duplex LC connectors for enhanced physical security and correct port matching. The OM4+ fiber type supports 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet applications, making it compatible with high-speed networking equipment and surveillance infrastructure requiring significant bandwidth.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter and OFNP rating facilitate installation in plenum spaces, adhering to fire safety codes. The keyed LC connectors require specific alignment for connection, preventing incorrect pairings and ensuring the integrity of the fiber link. Ensure mating connectors are clean and free of debris before attempting connection to maintain the ultra-low insertion loss specification.
