Panduit FZ2RLU1ZNONM033 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FZ2RLU1ZNONM033 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RLU1ZNONM033 is a 33-meter (108.3 ft) OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. Its uniboot construction with LC duplex connectors simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single cable jacket, reducing clutter and improving airflow. This cable is rated Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), essential for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with standard LC duplex connectors found in network switches, servers, and fiber optic transceivers. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network infrastructure adhering to these specifications. The OM4 fiber type supports high-bandwidth applications up to 100 Gbps and beyond for short-range data center interconnects.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design facilitates easier polarity switching (A-to-B or A-to-A) without requiring connector re-termination, simplifying moves, adds, and changes. The LSZH jacket material requires consideration for thermal management in high-density racks, as it may have different heat dissipation characteristics than traditional PVC jackets. Ensure proper bend radius management to maintain signal integrity, especially given the compact nature of the uniboot design.
