Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM008 8m OM4+ LC Uniboot Fiber Cable

Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM008 8-Meter OM4+ LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cable

High-density data center and enterprise network installs demand fiber patch cables that deliver maximum performance in minimal space. The Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM008 combines OM4+ Signature Core multimode fiber with LC Uniboot connectors and a 2.0mm reduced-diameter LSZH jacket. This 8-meter duplex patch cable provides ultra-low insertion loss for 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet applications while reducing congestion in cable pathways and patch panel ports. Pre-terminated construction eliminates field termination variables, ensuring consistent link performance across your infrastructure.

Key Features

• OM4+ Signature Core fiber for extended reach beyond standard OM4 specifications
• LC Uniboot connectors reduce port footprint by 50% vs. traditional duplex LC
• Ultra-low insertion loss design supports high-speed 40/100GbE applications
• 2.0mm reduced-diameter cable jacket improves airflow in high-density pathways
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for life safety compliance in occupied spaces
• 50-micron multimode fiber, duplex (2-fiber) configuration
• Aqua jacket color per TIA-598 OM4 color coding standard
• Pre-terminated and factory-tested for immediate deployment

OM4+ Signature Core fiber delivers lower attenuation and higher bandwidth than legacy OM4 cable, extending the supported distance for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. The LC Uniboot connector design consolidates both fibers into a single housing with an integrated pull-tab boot, cutting the physical footprint in half compared to standard duplex LC configurations. This is critical in fully-loaded 1U patch panels where port density and cable management directly impact cooling efficiency and mean time to repair. Ultra-low insertion loss construction—achieved through precision polishing and alignment—ensures link budgets remain within spec even on longer runs or when cascading through multiple interconnect points. The 2.0mm jacket diameter is 33% smaller than standard 3.0mm cordage, allowing more cables per conduit and reducing bend radius stress in tight routing scenarios.

This 8-meter length is well-suited for equipment-to-patch-panel connections in mid-size telecom rooms, cross-connects between adjacent racks, or interconnects in main distribution areas where standard 1-3 meter cables fall short. Pre-terminated fiber eliminates the cost and schedule risk of field fusion splicing or mechanical termination, while factory testing guarantees insertion loss and return loss meet or exceed TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 performance requirements. The duplex configuration aligns with cassette-based MTP-to-LC breakout systems commonly used in structured cabling designs—simply plug this cable into the LC adapter ports on your breakout cassette and connect the other end to your switch or media converter. Aqua jacket color provides instant visual identification of OM4 fiber type during adds, moves, and changes, reducing the risk of mismatched fiber types in mixed-mode environments.

The LSZH jacket formulation meets IEC 60332 and IEC 61034 flame and smoke requirements, making this cable suitable for installation in return-air plenums and occupied building spaces where PVC off-gassing is prohibited by local code. Full RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with European and North American procurement standards. Panduit's Signature Core fiber platform has been independently verified to exceed OM4 specifications in both bandwidth and distance, giving you margin for future network upgrades without re-cabling. When your install calls for space-efficient, standards-compliant, high-performance multimode fiber, the FS2RLU1U1NNM008 delivers the combination of Uniboot footprint savings and OM4+ reach you need to meet today's data center density requirements.
