Panduit FS2EPKGKGNGM007 OM4+ G-Code LC 7m Fiber Cord

Panduit FS2EPKGKGNGM007 Opti-Core™ OM4+ G-Coded LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Panduit's FS2EPKGKGNGM007 delivers 40/100GBASE-SR4 bandwidth over a 7-meter OM4+ Signature Core™ duplex fiber link with physical-layer security via G-code keyed LC connectors. Plenum-rated (OFNP) for air-handling spaces, this 2-fiber zipcord jumper features ultra-low insertion loss and violet jacket color for instant OM4 identification in dense patch fields. Engineered for datacenters, telecom risers, and multi-tenant facilities where preventing accidental cross-connection is mission-critical—G-coded connectors mate only with matching G-code adapters and ports, creating a mechanical interlock that standard LC hardware cannot defeat.

Key Features

• OM4+ Signature Core™ fiber supports 40G/100G Ethernet to 150m, 10G to 550m
• G-code keyed duplex LC connectors enforce physical layer security—prevents insertion into non-matching ports
• Ultra-low insertion loss (<0.20 dB typical) preserves link budget for long-reach or high-split architectures
• OFNP plenum rating meets NEC 770.179(A) for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 7-meter (23 ft) length covers rack-to-rack or floor-to-ceiling vertical runs in standard datacenter layouts
• 1.6mm zipcord jacket provides flexibility and crush resistance in high-density cable management
• Violet jacket and connector boots comply with TIA-598-D OM4 color coding standard
• Factory-terminated and tested—ships ready to deploy with traceable insertion loss documentation

The Signature Core™ fiber in this jumper uses Panduit's controlled-geometry core design to deliver consistent 50µm effective area and <3.0 dB/km attenuation at 850nm. OM4+ designation indicates the cable exceeds baseline OM4 specifications (typically by 10-15% in effective modal bandwidth), providing headroom for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 links in challenging environments with multiple connections or aged infrastructure. Insertion loss on factory-terminated LC connectors averages 0.15-0.18 dB per mated pair, well below the 0.75 dB TIA channel budget allocation, leaving margin for in-line splices or additional patch points. The G-code keying system uses a mechanical tab-and-slot geometry on both the connector ferrule housing and the mating adapter—standard (non-coded) LC plugs physically cannot seat into G-code adapters, and G-code plugs cannot seat into standard adapters. This prevents the most common datacenter failure mode: a technician plugging a 40G QSFP+ breakout cable into a 10G uplink port, or cross-connecting multimode and singlemode circuits. In classified, financial, or multi-tenant colocation environments, coded infrastructure is often a compliance or insurance requirement because it enforces separation-of-duties and zone segmentation at the physical layer, independent of logical access controls.

Deploy FS2EPKGKGNGM007 in vertical riser shafts between IDF and MDF closets, horizontal rack-to-rack trunks in pod-based datacenter topologies, or as equipment cords from faceplate to switch in telecom equipment rooms. The 7-meter length accommodates raised-floor datacenters with 3-4 meter overhead cable trays plus vertical drops to top-of-rack switches, or traditional telecom closets with wall-mounted fiber panels 5-6 meters from equipment racks. Plenum (OFNP) jacket uses low-smoke, flame-retardant compound that self-extinguishes and meets UL 910 (Steiner Tunnel) 25/50 smoke/flame ratings—critical for installation above drop ceilings or in HVAC plenums where PVC-jacketed cable is prohibited by NEC Article 770. Pair this cord with Panduit's FQP2L or FQP2LAQA series G-code adapters and FAP or FPAN cassette modules to build out a fully coded fiber infrastructure. In mixed-security environments, run G-coded (violet) OM4 for high-speed production networks and standard (aqua) OM4 for out-of-band management or guest services—the coding enforces the segmentation physically, so a configuration error or malicious actor cannot bridge the domains without physically defeating the mechanical interlock. Zipcord jacket construction (two 900µm tight-buffered fibers in a single oval sheath) makes this jumper easier to dress in tight bend radius trays compared to round cordage, and the 1.6mm diameter fits standard LC boot strain relief and cable management fingers without modification.

RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU as amended. Insertion loss, return loss, and fiber geometry test data serialized to the cord's product label for full traceability in audit or troubleshooting scenarios. When your infrastructure demands both 40/100G performance and physical layer access control—or when NEC 770 and local AHJ interpretation require plenum rating in your specific building—Panduit's G-code OM4+ jumpers deliver the mechanical enforcement and test-certified performance that standard off-the-shelf cordage cannot guarantee.
