Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM8.5 OM4 2-Fiber LC Uniboot Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit FZ2RLU1U1ONM8.5 is an 8.5-meter duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications. It utilizes OM4 multimode fiber, offering enhanced bandwidth for 10/40/100 GbE and beyond, with a 2.0mm diameter LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for reduced fire load in plenum spaces. The LC Uniboot connectors simplify cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single connector body with a pull-tab, reducing port count and improving airflow. This cable is suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and patch panels where reliable, high-speed optical transmission is critical.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing standard LC duplex connectors, including but not limited to: Cisco Nexus switches, Arista Networks switches, Juniper Networks switches, Dell EMC networking equipment, HPE Aruba networking, and standard rack-mount patch panels. Its OM4 fiber rating ensures compatibility with 40GbE (QSFP+) and 100GbE (QSFP28) transceivers and infrastructure requiring multimode fiber connectivity.
Installation Notes
The LC Uniboot connector features a pull-tab mechanism for easy insertion and removal, minimizing the need for specialized tools. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 7.5mm for OM4 fiber) to maintain signal integrity. The LSZH jacket requires adherence to local building codes regarding plenum cable usage.
