Panduit FZ2RLU1U1NNM014 Opti-Core OM4 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1NNM014 is a 14-meter (46 ft) OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density data center environments. It features LC Uniboot connectors with a pull-boot design, simplifying cable management and reducing connector tangling. The aqua LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures compliance with flammability standards for indoor installations where smoke and halogen emissions are a concern. This cable provides ultra-low insertion loss, critical for maintaining signal integrity in demanding network applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for use with standard LC duplex fiber optic interfaces found in network switches, servers, patch panels, and media converters. It is compatible with OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure, supporting 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications. The Uniboot design is beneficial for high-density patching where cable management is paramount, commonly seen in enterprise data centers and telecommunication rooms.

Installation Notes

The LC Uniboot connectors facilitate easier handling and strain relief management compared to traditional duplex LC connectors. The 2.0mm cable diameter offers a balance between flexibility and durability. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The LSZH jacket requires consideration for ventilation and fire safety codes specific to your installation environment.
