Panduit FZ2RLU1ZNNNM035 QuickNet™ OM4 LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Assembly

The Panduit FZ2RLU1ZNNNM035 delivers factory-terminated OM4 multimode fiber in a 35-meter assembly engineered for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. This 2-fiber LC duplex cable features a space-saving uniboot design with push-pull tabs, LSZH jacketing for fire safety compliance, and polarity management through integrated keying. Pre-terminated construction eliminates field splicing, cuts deployment time by 60-70% compared to bulk fiber termination, and arrives with full insertion loss certification. The 50/125µm OM4 core supports 40GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 to 100 meters, making it the infrastructure backbone for leaf-spine architectures, storage area networks, and converged Ethernet/Fiber Channel fabrics where zero downtime and deterministic performance are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode 50/125µm core optimized for 40G/100G applications with aqua jacket color coding per TIA-598
• LC duplex uniboot connector with push-pull strain relief — 50% less pathway congestion than standard duplex LC
• Factory-terminated with <0.25 dB insertion loss per mating interface, individually tested and certified
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing meets IEC 60332-1 and 60754-2 for enclosed-space installations
• 35-meter overall length ideal for cross-aisle trunk runs, backbone consolidation, or distributed antenna systems
• TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 compliant — supports structured cabling warranties and ANSI/TIA-942-B data center tier certification
• QuickNet™ line construction with integrated polarity key and clip-lock latch guards

Field termination of multimode fiber remains a primary source of insertion loss variability, contamination failures, and labor overruns in data center builds. The FZ2RLU1ZNNNM035 eliminates that risk entirely through factory-controlled termination in a clean-room environment using automated polishing and inspection. Each connector endface is tested to <0.25 dB insertion loss and supplied with an individual test report, giving you traceable documentation for TIA-942 Rated-3/4 audits or customer acceptance testing. The LC duplex uniboot form factor consolidates two fibers into a single compact connector housing with a reversible pull-tab design, cutting cable-management labor in high-density MTP-to-LC breakout scenarios or top-of-rack switch deployments where U-space is constrained. The uniboot clip mechanism also enables polarity reversal in the field without re-termination — flip the connector 180° to swap transmit and receive paths when troubleshooting duplex mismatch errors or adapting to non-standard transceiver pinouts.

OM4 fiber's 50/125µm core delivers 4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850 nm, the laser wavelength used by SR4 and SR10 multi-fiber parallel optics. This bandwidth headroom supports 40GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 to 100 meters — sufficient for intra-building backbones, storage replication links, or leaf-spine uplinks in Clos topologies where deterministic latency and lossless Ethernet (PFC/ECN) depend on clean optical budgets. The 35-meter length sits in the sweet spot for cross-row connections in modular data centers, consolidation-point-to-equipment-outlet runs in telecommunications rooms, or jumper extensions between passive MPO cassettes and active equipment. LSZH jacketing is mandatory in spaces subject to European EN 50173 or Middle Eastern fire codes, and increasingly specified in U.S. projects under NFPA 90A plenum interpretations for air-handling spaces. The low-smoke, halogen-free formulation produces <0.5% HCl emission during combustion, reducing corrosive gas exposure in enclosed mechanical rooms or under-floor pathways where PVC off-gassing can damage adjacent copper or sensitive electronics.

Pre-terminated assemblies carry factory warranties that cover both the cable and connectors as a single system, unlike field-installed connectors where responsibility splits between cable, connector, and labor. Panduit's QuickNet™ line extends this assurance with integrated latch guards that prevent snag damage during pulls through congested ladder rack or overhead cable tray, and color-coded boots that map to TIA-598 fiber-type standards (aqua for OM4) for instant visual verification during adds/moves/changes. The LC interface is backward-compatible with OM3 (10G) transceivers, giving you a migration path when upgrading edge switches or storage controllers without replacing horizontal cabling. For installations requiring ANSI/TIA-942-B Tier III or IV certification — where every component must carry third-party test documentation — the included insertion-loss report and compliance with TIA-568.3-D Annex B polarity methods close the gap between "installed" and "certified," eliminating the post-installation test-and-troubleshoot cycle that typically adds 15-20% to project timelines.
