Panduit FZ2ERLNLNSNM8.5 OM4 Fiber Cable

Panduit FZ2ERLNLNSNM8.5 OM4 Fiber Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ERLNLNSNM8.5 is a factory-terminated OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for rapid deployment in high-density data center and telecommunications room environments. Its QuickNet™ system simplifies installation by providing a pre-terminated solution, eliminating the need for on-site splicing or connector termination, which reduces installation time and potential for error. This cable is suitable for applications requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity between network equipment.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with network switches, servers, and other IT equipment featuring standard LC ports. The OM4 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling within these environments. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm diameter jacket with an OFNR (Riser) flammability rating, suitable for use within building pathways but not in plenums. Proper cable management is essential to maintain bend radius integrity, especially in dense rack environments, to prevent signal degradation. The LC Duplex connectors require a standard push-pull latching mechanism for secure connection.
