Panduit FZ2RLU1U1NNM048 OM4 48M LC Duplex LSZH Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1NNM048 is a 48-meter (157.5 ft) OM4 multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments. Its uniboot design and LSZH jacket facilitate rapid deployment and support structured cabling for network infrastructure requiring pre-terminated solutions. This cable is intended for applications demanding reliable, high-speed data transmission up to 100 Gbps over short to medium distances.

Compatibility

This cable features LC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with standard LC ports found on network switches, servers, transceivers, and patch panels. The OM4 fiber type supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, aligning with modern data center network architectures. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within compliant systems.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design consolidates two fibers into a single cable jacket with a reversible polarity mechanism, simplifying cable management and reducing the number of cables. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) construction is critical for installations in plenum spaces or areas with stringent fire safety regulations, as it emits less smoke and toxic fumes during combustion compared to traditional PVC jackets. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation.
