Panduit FZ2RPU1ZNONM8.5 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
The Panduit FZ2RPU1ZNONM8.5 is a pre-terminated OM4 multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise network backbones. Its uniboot construction consolidates two fibers into a single jacket with push-pull mating LC duplex connectors, simplifying cable management and reducing congestion in dense environments like data centers and telecommunications rooms. This specific configuration is crucial for rapid deployment where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is paramount.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for LC duplex fiber optic connectivity, supporting OM4 multimode fiber specifications (50/125µm). It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network equipment, patch panels, and transceivers that utilize LC duplex connectors and require OM4 performance. The QuickNet™ sub-brand signifies compatibility within Panduit's structured cabling solutions.
Installation Notes
The Plenum (OFNP) flammability rating makes this cable suitable for use in air-handling spaces, meeting stringent building codes for plenum-rated installations. The uniboot design with push-pull mating LC connectors simplifies insertion and removal, reducing the need for specialized tools and minimizing installation time. Ensure proper bend radius management (typically a minimum of 20mm for OM4) to maintain signal integrity.
