Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM007 Opti-Core OM4 LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord
The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM007 delivers 40/100GBASE-SR4 reach in a space-saving LC Uniboot form factor. This 7-meter OM4 duplex patch cord uses 50/125μm laser-optimized multimode fiber with optimized insertion loss, LC pull-boot Uniboot connectors, and a 2mm LSZH jacket. Designed for high-density datacenter and telecommunications room deployments, it meets TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards while occupying half the panel footprint of traditional duplex LC cables. Part of Panduit's Opti-Core fiber system, this cable supports 10G links to 550m and 40G/100G links to 150m over OM4 infrastructure.
Key Features
- OM4 50/125μm laser-optimized multimode fiber rated for 40/100G applications
- LC Uniboot duplex connector design reduces panel port density by 50% vs. standard LC
- Pull-boot strain relief enables tool-free connector removal in tight spaces
- 2.0mm cable diameter provides flexible routing and reduced bend stress
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets IEC 60332-1 and 60754 for datacenter fire codes
- Optimized insertion loss specification improves link budget margin
- 7-meter (23 ft) length suits rack-to-rack connections within same row
- Aqua jacket follows TIA-598-D color coding for OM4 identification
- A-B polarity configuration for standard duplex transceiver connections
- RoHS compliant, meets TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) LC connector geometry
The LC Uniboot connector design consolidates both fibers into a single push-pull boot, cutting the panel real estate required per link in half compared to conventional duplex LC patch cords. The integrated pull-boot provides strain relief and a grip point for single-hand disconnect in densely populated panels — critical when you're working on the 47th port in a 1U cassette. The 2mm jacket diameter is thin enough to route through tight bend radii without exceeding the 30mm minimum bend radius under load, yet durable enough for repeated moves/adds/changes. This cable uses Panduit's optimized insertion loss manufacturing process, typically delivering <0.25dB IL compared to the 0.3dB channel limit, which translates to additional link margin on long campus backbone runs or when using lower-grade transceivers.
OM4 fiber supports 10GBASE-SR to 400m (1,312 ft) and 40GBASE-SR4/100GBASE-SR4 to 150m (492 ft), making this cable suitable for intra-row datacenter connections, top-of-rack to end-of-row aggregation switches, or short building backbone links. The LSZH jacket is required in Europe under CPR (Construction Products Regulation) Euroclass ratings and specified in many North American datacenters to reduce toxic smoke generation during fire events. The aqua jacket color follows the TIA-598 standard for OM4 identification, preventing accidental cross-connection with OM3 (aqua) or OS2 (yellow) infrastructure. This cable ships with protective dust caps on both connectors and includes a polarity marking label.
Panduit's Opti-Core fiber system is tested as an end-to-end channel — trunk cables, cassettes, patch cords, and connectors — to guarantee compliance with TIA and ISO permanent link and channel insertion loss specs. This patch cord integrates into MTP-to-LC cassette deployments, preterminated trunk installations, and field-terminated fiber enclosures. The 7-meter length is the longest practical option for single-row rack-to-rack links before cable management becomes unwieldy; for cross-row or cross-aisle connections, consider 10m, 15m, or 20m variants. Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss and return loss at 850nm and 1300nm, with test results traceable to the manufacturing batch. Backed by Panduit's limited lifetime warranty when installed per manufacturer guidelines.
