Description

Panduit FS2EPKELENEM005 Opti-Core™ 2-Fiber OM4+ E-Coded Duplex LC Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2EPKELENEM005 is a 2-fiber OM4+ Signature Core™ duplex LC patch cord engineered for high-speed datacenter and security network backbone deployments. Featuring E-coded security on one end and standard duplex LC on the other, this 5-meter plenum-rated (OFNP) cable delivers ultra-low insertion loss and supports 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The Opti-Core™ platform combines Panduit's Signature Core™ multimode fiber technology with robust 1.6mm zipcord jacketing, providing installer-friendly handling and long-term reliability. Color-coded orange for OM4+ identification, this patch cord integrates seamlessly into coded cabling systems for enhanced physical layer security.

Key Features

  • 2-fiber OM4+ multimode with Signature Core™ technology for 40/100GbE support
  • E-coded duplex LC connector on one end, standard duplex LC on the other for secure system pairing
  • Ultra-low insertion loss for maximum link budget and extended reach
  • Plenum-rated (OFNP) 1.6mm zipcord jacket for in-ceiling and air-handling space installations
  • 5-meter (16.4 ft) length ideal for intra-rack and short datacenter runs
  • Orange jacket color for instant OM4+ fiber type identification

OM4+ fiber represents the current standard for high-speed multimode datacenter and enterprise backbone links, supporting 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications at distances up to 150 meters over 2-fiber MPO trunk systems or structured duplex LC patching. Panduit's Signature Core™ geometry optimizes the fiber's refractive index profile to minimize modal dispersion and insertion loss, ensuring compliance with TIA/EIA and IEC performance standards while providing headroom for future 200G and 400G migrations. The E-coded mechanical keying system on one connector prevents accidental cross-connection with non-coded ports, adding a critical physical layer security checkpoint in high-stakes environments—government facilities, critical infrastructure control networks, and financial datacenters—where logical security alone is insufficient.

In IP surveillance and access control networks, fiber patch cords like the FS2EPKELENEM005 connect core switches to distribution-layer aggregation points, extending PoE-over-fiber media converters to remote camera clusters, or linking control room recording servers to SAN storage arrays. The 5-meter length suits typical intra-rack and adjacent-rack patching in equipment closets and datacenter hot aisles, while the plenum (OFNP) rating ensures code compliance in overhead cable tray and drop-ceiling installations without requiring additional conduit. The orange jacket provides instant visual confirmation of OM4+ fiber type during moves, adds, and changes—reducing the risk of mismatched patch cords that silently degrade link performance or cause outright connectivity failures.

The Panduit FS2EPKELENEM005 meets RoHS environmental standards and integrates into Panduit's comprehensive Opti-Core™ cabling architecture, which includes trunk cables, cassettes, enclosures, and splice-on connectors—providing a single-vendor solution for enterprise and datacenter fiber deployments. For integrators managing hybrid copper-fiber security networks, coded fiber systems deliver the same assurance as physical key-and-lock access control: the wrong cable simply won't mate, eliminating human error at the patch panel. This level of deterministic physical security, combined with ultra-low loss performance and plenum safety compliance, makes the FS2EPKELENEM005 the right choice for mission-critical backbone links in commercial security, datacenter, and AV-over-IP installations.
