Panduit FZ2ERLNLNSNM018 OM4 2F 1.6MM PC OFNR LC DUP/LC
Overview
The Panduit FZ2ERLNLNSNM018 is a 2-fiber OM4 duplex patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short-distance applications within data centers and enterprise network closets. It utilizes LC duplex connectors on both ends, terminated with a standard PC (Physical Contact) polish, ensuring reliable optical performance for 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. The 1.6mm jacket diameter and OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating make it suitable for vertical cable runs in riser-rated pathways.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex ports. It is compatible with a wide range of switches, servers, transceivers (e.g., SFP+, QSFP+), and patch panels that support OM4 fiber and LC duplex connectivity. Specific compatibility extends to equipment from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HPE, and any other manufacturer utilizing LC duplex interfaces for fiber optic connections.
Installation Notes
Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends exceeding its minimum bend radius (typically 10x cable diameter for OM4) to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage. Clean the LC connector end-faces with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before insertion into transceivers or patch panels to maintain optimal signal integrity and prevent contamination.
