Panduit FZ2ERLNSNSNM8.5 OM4 Fiber Cable
Overview
The Panduit FZ2ERLNSNSNM8.5 is a QuickNet™ OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density environments. It provides a pre-terminated, plug-and-play solution for connecting network equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, reducing installation time and complexity. This 2-fiber, 1.6mm cable features LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, supporting rapid deployment of fiber infrastructure.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with standard fiber optic network equipment and infrastructure that supports LC Duplex and SC connectors. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with enterprise and carrier-grade networking hardware. It is suitable for applications requiring OM4 performance characteristics, such as 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, where precise signal integrity is critical.
Installation Notes
The 1.6mm cable jacket is rated OFNR (Riser), suitable for vertical pathway installations within a building but not for use in plenum spaces. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The LC Duplex connectors provide secure locking, while the SC connectors offer a robust push-pull mating mechanism. Verify that the connected equipment ports match the connector types (LC Duplex and SC) and fiber type (OM4).
