Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM014 OM4+ LC Duplex Patch Cord 14m

Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM014 OM4+ Signature Core LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2RLU1U1NNM014 is a 14-meter OM4+ Signature Core duplex fiber optic patch cord engineered for high-density datacenter interconnects, telecom room backbone links, and enterprise horizontal fiber deployments where bandwidth headroom and ultra-low insertion loss are non-negotiable. Built on Panduit's Signature Core fiber technology, this patch cord delivers tighter geometry control and lower attenuation than standard OM4 — critical when you're pushing 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR10, or preparing infrastructure for 400G optics. Both ends terminate in space-saving LC Uniboot connectors with integrated pull-boots, enabling tool-free polarity reversal in the field and reducing cable congestion in high-port-count switch fabrics. The 2.0mm LSZH jacket meets plenum and building safety codes for low-smoke, zero-halogen fire performance, and the 46-foot length fits standard datacenter row runs or cross-connects in telecom enclosures without excessive service loops.

Key Features

• OM4+ Signature Core Fiber – Panduit's precision-geometry multimode fiber exceeds OM4 bandwidth specs, supporting 40G/100G Ethernet at extended distances and future-proofing for 400G migration
• Ultra-Low Insertion Loss – Tighter manufacturing tolerances reduce signal loss across the link, improving margin on long runs and high-speed optics
• LC Uniboot Duplex Connectors – Single-boot housing combines transmit and receive fibers in one compact footprint, cutting patch-panel congestion by ~40% vs. dual LC boots
• Integrated Pull-Boots – Tool-free polarity reversal in seconds — just pull the tab, rotate the connector 180°, and snap back in place for A-to-B or crossover applications
• LSZH 2.0mm Jacket – Low-smoke, zero-halogen outer jacket meets IEC 60332-3-24 flammability and is required for installation in occupied spaces, risers, and air-handling plenums under most building codes
• Aqua Jacket Color – Industry-standard OM4+ identification color simplifies documentation and prevents cross-patching with OM3 or single-mode infrastructure
• 50-Micron Core – Optimized for 850nm VCSEL optics in 10G/40G/100G SR applications; balances modal bandwidth with alignment tolerance
• 14-Meter Pre-Terminated Length – Factory-terminated and tested, eliminating field-polish labor and delivering guaranteed insertion loss and return loss out of the box
• TIA-568-C.3 & ISO/IEC 11801 Compliant – Meets or exceeds structured cabling standards for OM4 multimode fiber; validated against TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) ferrule geometry and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) mechanical interface requirements
• RoHS Compliant – All materials meet EU 2002/95/EC restrictions on hazardous substances for sustainable procurement and cross-border equipment sales

OM4+ Signature Core represents Panduit's tightest-tolerance multimode fiber, with core geometry and refractive-index profile held to narrower bands than the OM4 spec floor. In practice, this translates to 5–10% lower insertion loss on factory-terminated assemblies and measurably higher effective modal bandwidth — the difference between hitting 150 meters at 40GBASE-SR4 vs. falling back to 100 meters with commodity OM4 on marginal optics. The LC Uniboot form factor is purpose-built for leaf-spine fabrics and dense edge-of-row aggregation: each duplex pair occupies the panel space of a single LC connector, doubling usable port density in 1U patch panels and eliminating the duplex-clip hassle that plagues legacy LC designs. The pull-boot mechanism is fully compliant with TIA-604-10-D polarity Method B (key-up to key-down reversal), so you can field-correct A-to-B vs. A-to-A patching errors without re-terminating or carrying crossover inventory. Insertion loss is factory-tested and serialized; expect ≤0.25 dB typical on this grade of assembly, well under the 0.75 dB TIA channel budget allocation for two mated connectors.

Deploy this patch cord in main distribution area (MDA) to horizontal distribution area (HDA) backbone trunks, equipment distribution area (EDA) top-of-rack interconnects, or building entrance facility (EF) demarcation extensions where you need a known-good 14-meter span with zero field labor. The LSZH jacket is mandated in many municipal and international building codes for cables installed above drop ceilings, in air-return plenums, or in occupied vertical risers — it self-extinguishes and produces minimal smoke and no corrosive halogen gas under fire conditions, protecting both evacuation routes and sensitive electronics. The aqua jacket matches the OM4/OM4+ industry color convention, so your team can visually verify fiber type during MAC work without pulling documentation. Panduit ships these cords in individually bagged units, 10 per carton, with each connector tip protected by a dust cap and each assembly labeled with length, fiber type, and serial number for audit trails and warranty claims.

Standards compliance spans TIA-568-C.3 (commercial building telecommunications cabling for optical fiber), ISO/IEC 11801 (generic cabling for customer premises), TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3 SC/LC ferrule endface geometry), and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10 LC mechanical interface and polarity). RoHS compliance under EU Directive 2002/95/EC ensures you can ship integrated systems into European Union markets without hazardous-substance declarations. For mission-critical datacenter and telecom room fiber backbones where downtime costs are measured in five figures per hour and you need insertion-loss margin for future optics upgrades, Panduit OM4+ Signature Core delivers the geometry consistency and test data that no-name patch cords simply cannot match — your per-link cost delta is trivial compared to the truck-roll expense of troubleshooting a marginal commodity assembly under production load.
