Panduit FZ2RPU1U1NNM037 37m OM4 LC Uniboot Plenum Cable

Panduit FZ2RPU1U1NNM037 37m OM4 LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Trunk Cable

The Panduit FZ2RPU1U1NNM037 is a 37-meter (121.4 ft) pre-terminated OM4 multimode fiber trunk cable designed for high-density data center backbone and horizontal fiber deployments. Featuring LC duplex uniboot connectors with 50/125µm OM4 fiber, this QuickNet™ assembly supports 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet and delivers the low insertion loss and high bandwidth required for modern IP surveillance storage networks, virtualized server infrastructure, and fiber-to-the-edge switching architectures. The plenum-rated (OFNP) 2mm jacket enables code-compliant installation in air-handling spaces without additional conduit, while the factory-terminated connectors eliminate field polishing, reducing deployment time and ensuring consistent link performance across multi-building campus networks or raised-floor data centers.

Key Features

• OM4 50/125µm laser-optimized multimode fiber supports 10GBASE-SR up to 400m, 40GBASE-SR4 up to 150m, and 100GBASE-SR10 up to 125m per TIA-568.3-D
• LC duplex uniboot connector design reduces patch panel footprint by 50% vs. standard duplex LC, critical for high-density 1U fiber enclosures
• Plenum-rated OFNP jacket (UL 910 / NFPA 262) meets NEC Article 770 requirements for installation in environmental air spaces without conduit
• Factory-terminated and 100% insertion loss tested—typical IL <0.3 dB—eliminates field termination errors and speeds MAC/adds/changes
• 2mm diameter cable enables tighter bend radius (15mm minimum) and improved airflow in congested cable trays vs. 3mm distribution cable
• 37-meter length spans typical data center hot aisle to MDA or cross-connect, reducing the need for mid-span splice points
• TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B compliant for structured cabling system integration and Tier III/IV data center design
• QuickNet™ pre-terminated system integrates with Panduit fiber enclosures, patch panels, and cable management hardware for end-to-end deployment

OM4 multimode fiber delivers 4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850nm, enabling 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet over extended distances that OM3 cannot support without mode conditioning or costlier singlemode infrastructure. The 50/125µm core/cladding geometry is optimized for VCSEL laser transceivers common in SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 modules, providing the headroom necessary for link loss budgets in multi-tier spine-leaf topologies or storage area network (SAN) fabrics. Panduit's uniboot LC connector consolidates the duplex pair into a single compact housing with integrated polarity reversal—critical when migrating from A-to-B trunk polarity to Method B or Method C array cable configurations during adds or MAC work. The physical contact (PC) polish on each ferrule ensures sub-0.3 dB insertion loss and >20 dB return loss, reducing reflective events that degrade BER performance in 10G and higher-speed links. The aqua jacket color conforms to TIA-598-D OM4 designation, simplifying visual verification during audits or troubleshooting.

Pre-terminated trunk cables like the FZ2RPU1U1NNM037 eliminate the labor, equipment, and skill variance associated with field termination—a typical fusion splice or epoxy/polish connector termination requires 15–30 minutes per end, plus test time and potential rework if insertion loss exceeds channel budgets. Factory-terminated assemblies arrive tested and serialized, allowing integrators to pull, dress, and cross-connect fiber links in minutes rather than hours, compressing deployment schedules for new surveillance VMS storage clusters, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) nodes, or IP camera aggregation switches. The 37-meter length is engineered for common data center floor plans: end-of-row (EOR) switch to middle-of-row (MOR) aggregation point, or equipment distribution area (EDA) to telecommunications room (TR) in multi-tenant office buildings with fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) requirements. The 2mm cable diameter and uniboot form factor are purpose-built for high-density 1U LC fiber enclosures (144–288 fibers per RU), where every millimeter of panel real estate and every CFM of cooling airflow matters. When installed in Panduit's FMT or FAP series modular cassettes, polarity can be field-reversed without re-termination, supporting both straight-through and crossover patching schemes.

Compliance with TIA-568.3-D structured cabling standards and ANSI/TIA-942-B Tier III/IV data center guidelines ensures this assembly integrates seamlessly into multi-vendor ecosystems and satisfies the documentation, testing, and warranty requirements typical of enterprise installations and government contracts. The plenum rating (OFNP per NEC 770.179) makes it suitable for above-ceiling horizontal runs, underfloor plenums in raised-floor data centers, and vertical riser pathways where flame spread and smoke generation are code-enforcement issues. Panduit's QuickNet™ branding signals membership in a comprehensive pre-terminated fiber system—trunks, harnesses, cassettes, and enclosures—designed for interoperability and backed by factory test reports and application engineering support. For surveillance integrators deploying multi-building IP camera networks with centralized NAS or SAN storage, or IT teams provisioning 10/40/100G uplinks between access and distribution layers, this assembly delivers the performance, compliance, and installation speed that ad-hoc field termination cannot match.
