Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM003 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM003 is a 3-meter (9.84 ft) OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord. It features Uniboot connectors on both ends, designed for simplified cable management by allowing both fibers to run within a single cable jacket and utilize a single pull-boot for polarity switching. This specific model is rated Plenum (OFNP) for use in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for data center interconnects, telecommunications rooms, and network applications where cable routing requires compliance with fire safety standards. The Opti-Core® sub-brand signifies optimized insertion loss performance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use with LC duplex connectors found in various network equipment, including switches, servers, and patch panels. It is compatible with OM4 fiber optic systems and suitable for applications requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short to medium distances. The standards compliance (ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3) ensures broad interoperability with compliant network infrastructure components.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot connector design simplifies installation by reducing the number of cables to manage. Polarity can be switched by simply pulling or pushing the connector boot, eliminating the need for complex re-termination or specialized tools for A/B configuration. The plenum rating mandates installation in accordance with building codes for air-handling spaces.
