Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNM8.5 OM4 2F OFNR Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2ERQ1SNSNM8.5 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode patch cord featuring a 1.6mm cable diameter and Riser (OFNR) flammability rating. It utilizes PushPull LC connectors, enabling rapid deployment in high-density environments such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for reducing installation time and complexity.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard LC-terminated fiber optic equipment and infrastructure. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network switches, transceivers, and patch panels supporting OM4 multimode fiber connections. Specific compatibility extends to systems requiring high-bandwidth, short-reach optical interconnects.

Installation Notes

The PushPull LC connector system simplifies insertion and removal, even in tight spaces, without requiring specialized tools beyond standard fiber optic handling practices. The 1.6mm cable diameter and OFNR rating are suitable for in-building horizontal runs or backbone cabling in non-plenum spaces. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 1.0 inch for 1.6mm cable) to maintain signal integrity and prevent performance degradation.
