Panduit FS2RPU1U1NNM005 5m OM4+ LC Uniboot Fiber Cord

Panduit FS2RPU1U1NNM005 Signature Core OM4+ LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit FS2RPU1U1NNM005 delivers OM4+ multimode performance in a space-efficient uniboot form factor, engineered for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 deployments where cabinet density and field serviceability matter. This 5-meter (16.4 ft) duplex LC patch cord features Panduit's Signature Core ultra-low insertion loss fiber, plenum-rated OFNP jacketing for air-handling spaces, and pull-boot connectors that simplify polarity reversal without re-termination. Built for data center spine-leaf architectures, telecommunications room cross-connects, and cassette-based structured cabling systems, the FS2RPU1U1NNM005 meets TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards while supporting link distances up to 150 meters at 40G and 100 meters at 100G over OM4+ fiber.

• Factory-terminated and tested for guaranteed performance out of the box

Panduit's Signature Core OM4+ fiber in the FS2RPU1U1NNM005 exceeds the 3.5 dB/km attenuation ceiling defined in TIA-568-C.3 for standard OM4, delivering tighter loss budgets critical to 40G and 100G parallel optics links. The ultra-low insertion loss specification—typically under 0.15 dB per mated pair—preserves link margin in multi-tier data center fabrics where every tenth of a dB counts against your channel loss budget. The duplex LC uniboot connector consolidates two fibers into a single compact boot roughly half the width of traditional duplex LC designs, increasing usable port density in crowded 1U switch faceplates and MPO-to-LC breakout cassettes. The pull-boot mechanism enables A-to-B polarity reversal by releasing the connector body from the boot, rotating the fiber pair 180°, and re-seating—eliminating the need for Type-B or crossover patch cords in bi-directional transceiver applications. This field-serviceability reduces sparing requirements and accelerates MACs (moves, adds, changes) during rack reconfigurations. The plenum OFNP jacket compounds meet NFPA 262 flame propagation limits, qualifying the cable for unrestricted deployment in ceiling return-air plenums, raised-floor plenums, and vertical risers under NEC Article 770 without metallic conduit or J-hooks rated for non-plenum cable.

The 5-meter length addresses common data center use cases: top-of-rack switch to server NIC connections in 42U cabinets (typically 3–6 meters), middle-of-row patch panel cross-connects, and short-haul links between adjacent enclosures in hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. In cassette-based architectures—where MPO trunk cables feed LC breakout modules in main distribution areas (MDA) or horizontal distribution areas (HDA)—the FS2RPU1U1NNM005 provides the LC-to-LC interconnect between cassette ports and active equipment. The aqua jacket color conforms to TIA-598-D color-coding standards for OM4 (and by extension OM4+) fiber, ensuring instant visual identification during troubleshooting and preventing accidental cross-patching with incompatible fiber types. For 40GBASE-SR4 links using MPO/MTP parallel optics, four of these duplex LC patch cords (or an equivalent 8-fiber MPO trunk with breakout cassette) deliver the eight fibers required for bi-directional transmission, supporting link distances up to 150 meters—enough to span typical enterprise campus building-to-building runs or intra-data-center east-west traffic paths. At 100GBASE-SR4, the same configuration supports 100-meter links, covering most intra-building horizontal and equipment distribution requirements without the cost premium of singlemode optics.

TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2 compliance ensures interoperability with all standards-compliant transceivers, media converters, and structured cabling components, while TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) dimensional compliance guarantees mechanical fit and optical alignment in duplex LC interfaces from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Dell, HPE, and other enterprise networking vendors. The factory-terminated connectors undergo 100% end-face inspection and insertion-loss testing before shipment, eliminating the variability and labor cost of field terminations and providing a known-good baseline for acceptance testing during commissioning. For integrators deploying multi-building campuses under LEED or BREEAM green-building certifications, the RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental credit documentation by restricting lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous substances. The 10-pack carton quantity (per the Carton Quantity spec) supports bulk purchasing for large-scale rollouts while maintaining per-unit traceability for asset management and warranty claims—each patch cord ships with individual labeling tied to Panduit's manufacturing lot records for full supply-chain transparency in mission-critical environments where post-installation failures trigger root-cause investigations.
