Panduit FZ2RPU1U1NNM2.5 OM4 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RPU1U1NNM2.5 is a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord featuring LC Uniboot connectors on both ends. Its plenum-rated (OFNP) construction makes it suitable for installation in air handling spaces within data centers and telecommunications rooms, providing essential interconnectivity for network applications and pre-terminated cassette systems.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use within Panduit's Opti-Core® fiber optic systems and is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 standards. It connects standard LC duplex ports found in most enterprise networking equipment, including switches, servers, and patch panels from major vendors. The Uniboot design simplifies cable management by allowing two fibers to share a single cable jacket with a pull-boot connector.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot connector design requires careful management to ensure proper polarity is maintained. The pull-boot mechanism aids in insertion and removal from high-density patch panels. The plenum rating (OFNP) mandates installation in accordance with local building codes for air handling spaces. Ensure connectors are clean prior to mating to prevent signal degradation and maintain ultra-low insertion loss.
