Panduit FS2EPKCLNNCM010 Opti-Core OM4+ 2-Fiber Coded LC Duplex Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2EPKCLNNCM010 is a 10-meter OM4+ fiber optic patch cord engineered for high-performance datacenter, security surveillance, and enterprise network applications. Part of the Opti-Core family with Signature Core fiber technology, this 2-fiber duplex LC patch cord features Panduit's coded connector system on one end—providing an additional layer of physical security by ensuring connections only mate with matching coded components. The plenum-rated (OFNP) green jacket meets stringent fire safety requirements for air-handling spaces, while ultra-low insertion loss guarantees reliable 10/40/100 Gb transmission across structured cabling infrastructures supporting IP cameras, NVRs, and high-bandwidth security networks.

Key Features

OM4+ Signature Core fiber for 40/100 Gb Ethernet at extended distances

Coded duplex LC connector on one end prevents unauthorized or accidental connections

Plenum-rated (OFNP) flame retardant jacket for air-handling installations

Ultra-low insertion loss for maximum signal integrity

10-meter (32.81 ft) length ideal for rack-to-rack or cross-connect applications

Color-coded green jacket (Code C) for easy visual identification and cable management

RoHS compliant for environmental safety standards

Factory-terminated duplex LC connectors ensure consistent, field-tested performance

Panduit's Signature Core OM4+ multimode fiber exceeds industry OM4 standards, delivering up to 550 meters at 10 Gb/s and 150 meters at 40/100 Gb/s—critical performance margins for surveillance networks where NVRs, video management servers, and fiber switches aggregate high-resolution camera streams. The 50/125 µm core supports legacy 1 Gb systems while future-proofing infrastructure for emerging bandwidth demands. Each connector is factory-terminated and tested to ensure insertion loss below 0.2 dB typical, with return loss exceeding 20 dB, minimizing signal degradation across multi-hop fiber paths common in enterprise security deployments.

The coded duplex LC connector on one end of this patch cord integrates into Panduit's physical layer security ecosystem, where keyed connector housings mate only with matching Code C ports. In environments where fiber patch panels serve both trusted surveillance VLANs and general IT traffic, coded connectors prevent cross-connections that could expose video feeds to unauthorized network segments. The opposite end terminates in a standard duplex LC connector for compatibility with existing equipment, making this cord ideal for the final connection between a secure fiber distribution panel and camera encoder, media converter, or PoE fiber switch.

OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) rating certifies the cable's flame-retardant jacket for installation in air-return plenums, ducts, and overhead spaces without conduit—common in commercial buildings where surveillance camera backhaul shares ceiling pathways with HVAC. The 1.6 mm zipcord jacket balances durability with flexibility for tight bend radius routing through cable trays and vertical risers. At 10 meters, this length suits cross-connects within the same equipment rack or short runs between adjacent telecom rooms, where NVR storage arrays connect to core fiber switches or where redundant uplinks require color-coded paths for rapid troubleshooting.

RoHS-compliant materials and Panduit's factory-controlled termination process ensure consistent performance across every cord in the carton. Whether you're building a new IP camera network with segmented security VLANs or upgrading legacy multimode fiber to support 4K/8K video streams, the FS2EPKCLNNCM010's combination of OM4+ bandwidth, coded physical security, and plenum safety makes it the preferred choice for integrators who demand both performance and compliance in mission-critical surveillance infrastructures.
