Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNF002 QuickNet™ OM4 Multimode Fiber Assembly
The Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNF002 QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber assembly delivers OM4 multimode performance in a compact 1.6mm duplex cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise network installations. Factory-terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends, this 2-fiber riser-rated (OFNR) assembly eliminates field termination labor while providing 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet capability over 50/125µm multimode fiber. Push-pull style boots enable tool-free connector engagement in congested patch panels and switch ports where access is limited.

OM4 laser-optimized multimode fiber delivers 50/125µm core/cladding geometry with typical aqua-colored jacket per TIA-598-C color coding standards. The LC (Lucent Connector) duplex interface uses a 1.25mm ferrule with physical contact polish, providing low insertion loss (typically ≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥-20 dB) across the 850nm wavelength window where short-reach datacenter optics operate. The 1.6mm round cable construction uses tight-buffered 900µm fiber within a flame-retardant OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) jacket that meets ICEA-596 and UL-1666 vertical flame propagation requirements without the metal shielding found in armored variants—critical for installations where electromagnetic interference immunity and dielectric isolation are required between floors or through metallic conduit. Push-pull boots eliminate the need to depress latch tabs during mating, reducing accidental fiber damage during moves, adds, and changes in live switch environments.
Data center spine-leaf architectures, enterprise telecommunications rooms, and entrance facility cross-connects depend on pre-terminated fiber assemblies to compress deployment schedules and eliminate the variability of field termination. The QuickNet™ system arrives tested from Panduit's factory with insertion loss and polarity documentation, allowing installers to validate end-to-end link performance immediately after cable tray and pathway installation without fusion splicing or epoxy-polish termination steps. The 2-fiber duplex configuration supports standard bidirectional transceiver modules (SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28) found in 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switches, SAN storage arrays, and IP video management servers where surveillance NVRs aggregate high-resolution camera streams. The slim 1.6mm diameter permits higher cable counts in 4-inch backbone pathways and congested EDA (Equipment Distribution Area) cabinets compared to 2.0mm or 3.0mm duplex assemblies, directly reducing conduit fill calculations and pathway expansion costs during network capacity upgrades.
Compliance with TIA-568.3-D balanced twisted-pair and optical fiber cabling standards, ISO/IEC 11801 generic cabling for customer premises, and ANSI/TIA-942-B telecommunications infrastructure requirements ensures this Panduit assembly integrates into structured cabling systems designed to data center Tier II/III/IV availability specifications. The riser-rated jacket permits installation in vertical pathways between floors per NEC Article 770.113 without requiring plenum-rated cable or metallic conduit enclosure, reducing material cost in multi-story telecommunications rooms and IDF risers. Factory pre-termination with documented optical performance eliminates the most common field installation defect—improper connector polish—that causes link failure after acceptance testing, making this assembly the preferred choice for integrators working under fixed-price contracts where rework labor directly impacts project margin.
