Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNM018 OM4 2F 18m LC Duplex Riser Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNM018 is an 18-meter (59.1 ft) OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic cable. It's designed for high-bandwidth applications in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical. This cable utilizes LC duplex connectors and features a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, making it suitable for in-wall installations where code permits.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, and transceivers utilizing LC duplex connectors and requiring OM4 multimode fiber. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within standard fiber optic network architectures. Its OM4 rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding server and storage interconnects.

Installation Notes

The cable's 1.6mm jacket diameter and Riser (OFNR) rating dictate its installation environment. It is intended for use within buildings, typically in conduits or pathways where vertical rise is permitted. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum bend radius not specified in source data, but typically 10x cable diameter for OM4) to maintain signal integrity. The Push-Pull LC connectors facilitate quick and secure mating.
