Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM002 2m OM4 LC Uniboot Fiber Cable

Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM002 Opti-Core OM4 LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cable

The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM002 is a 2-meter OM4 multimode duplex fiber patch cable engineered for high-density datacenter and telecom installations. Built on Panduit's Opti-Core platform, this cable features LC Uniboot connectors on both ends, reducing footprint by 50% compared to traditional duplex LC designs while maintaining full polarity-reversal capability. The 2mm LSZH jacket meets fire-safety requirements for enclosed pathways and provides flexibility for tight-radius routing in congested racks. With optimized insertion loss and aqua color-coding per TIA-568-C.3 OM4 standards, this cable supports 10/40/100GBASE-SR applications up to 150 meters and provides field-proven reliability for switch-to-switch, patch-panel, or cassette-module interconnects.

Key Features

• OM4 50/125μm multimode fiber supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet
• LC Uniboot duplex connectors save 50% panel space vs. traditional LC
• 2mm LSZH cable jacket for fire-code compliance and flexible routing
• Optimized insertion loss for consistent link budgets
• Pull-boot strain relief on both connectors
• Aqua jacket per TIA-568 OM4 color standard
• 2-meter length for rack-to-rack or intra-rack patching
• Polarity-reversible in the field without re-termination

OM4 laser-optimized multimode fiber delivers 4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850nm, enabling 100GBASE-SR4 transmission over 100 meters or 10GBASE-SR over 550 meters—twice the reach of OM3. The LC Uniboot connector consolidates two fibers into a single 6.25mm-width plug, cutting panel density requirements in half and allowing 50% more ports per RU in MTP/LC breakout applications. Panduit's optimized insertion-loss specification ensures each connector remains below 0.35dB typical, leaving margin for multiple interconnect points in structured-cabling hierarchies. The 2mm outer diameter provides 35% smaller bend radius than 3mm cables, critical when dressing cables through vertical managers or routing around obstacles in 1U switch environments.

Use this cable for connecting preterminated fiber cassettes in main, horizontal, or equipment distribution areas, or for direct switch-to-switch links in leaf-spine datacenter fabrics. The LSZH jacket eliminates halogen emissions during combustion, satisfying NFPA 70 and IBC fire-safety mandates for air-handling spaces and European CPR requirements. Pull-boots protect the duplex fiber from kink damage during moves-adds-changes and color-code to aqua for instant OM4 identification in mixed-mode environments. Field polarity reversal is tool-free: depress the release tab, rotate the connector body 180°, and re-latch—no need for A-to-B cable swaps or adapter modules. The 2-meter length bridges typical top-of-rack switch deployments to mid-rack patch panels or adjacent equipment rows without excessive service loops.

This cable meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3), and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) performance standards and is RoHS compliant per Directive 2002/95/EC. Panduit's Opti-Core system ensures mechanical and optical compatibility with any TIA-compliant LC infrastructure, including modules from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and other OEM transceivers. For installations requiring verified end-to-end performance and supplier accountability across multi-vendor environments, this cable provides factory-terminated precision and a consistent baseline for structured cabling documentation and link certification.
