Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM014 OM4 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM014 is a 14-meter (46 ft) OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. Its uniboot design with pull-boot LC duplex connectors simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single 2.0 mm jacket, reducing bulk and easing installation in densely populated racks. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire codes. This cord is engineered for optimized insertion loss, ensuring signal integrity for critical network links.

Compatibility

This Panduit Opti-Core™ patch cord is compatible with standard LC duplex fiber optic interfaces found in network equipment such as switches, routers, servers, and fiber optic cassettes. It is suitable for interconnecting pre-terminated cassettes in main distribution, horizontal, and equipment distribution areas within data centers, telecommunication rooms, and enterprise network closets. It meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.3 standards, ensuring broad interoperability with compliant networking hardware.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design requires careful handling to ensure proper polarity (A-to-B configuration) for duplex communication. The pull-boot connectors facilitate easier insertion and removal from patch panels and equipment ports. The 2.0 mm LSZH cable is flexible yet durable for rack installations. Ensure the connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal performance and prevent signal degradation. This cord is rated for indoor use in controlled environments.
