Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM032 32m OM4 LC Uniboot Plenum Cable

Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM032 OM4 Multimode Fiber Patch Cable

The Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM032 is a 32-meter (105-foot) OM4 multimode fiber patch cable with LC duplex uniboot connectors and plenum-rated OFNP jacket. Part of Panduit's QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber system, this 2-fiber cable supports 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications up to 150 meters, making it suitable for high-speed backbone links in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network infrastructure. The uniboot design consolidates both fibers into a single, compact boot that reduces patch panel congestion by 50% compared to standard duplex LC cables. Plenum rating meets NEC Article 770 for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit. Factory-terminated with precision-polished LC connectors tested to <0.3 dB insertion loss.

Key Features

• OM4 50/125µm multimode fiber supports 40/100 Gbps Ethernet up to 150m, 10 Gbps up to 550m
• Uniboot LC duplex connector saves 50% patch panel space vs. standard duplex cables
• Plenum OFNP jacket rated for air-handling spaces per NEC 770.179(A)
• Pre-terminated QuickNet assembly with factory polishing and insertion loss testing
• 32-meter (105 ft) length for cross-floor, building riser, or remote equipment room links
• Aqua jacket color per TIA-598-D OM4 identification standard
• Pull-tab uniboot design allows field polarity reversal without re-termination
• TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 compliant for structured cabling systems

OM4 laser-optimized 50/125µm multimode fiber delivers 4700 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth at 850nm, enabling 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 transmission up to 150 meters over parallel optics and 10GBASE-SR up to 550 meters—critical for spine-leaf data center architectures where top-of-rack switches connect to core aggregation layers. The uniboot connector design merges transmit and receive fibers into a single, narrow-profile boot measuring approximately 6.5mm wide, cutting patch panel footprint in half and improving airflow around densely populated fiber panels. The integrated pull-tab mechanism allows polarity reversal in the field by rotating the ferrule within the connector housing, eliminating the need for crossover adapters when connecting like equipment (switch-to-switch, transceiver-to-transceiver). The 2.0mm round cable jacket provides flexibility for tight-radius routing through cable managers and overhead ladder rack while maintaining the 7.5mm minimum bend radius required to prevent fiber attenuation.

The 32-meter length addresses common horizontal cabling scenarios in multi-story buildings: vertical riser runs between stacked telecommunications rooms, cross-building links through campus pathways, or connections from entrance facilities to main distribution areas where standard 1-3 meter patch cables fall short. Plenum OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) rating certifies the jacket passes UL 910 Steiner Tunnel flame and smoke tests, making it code-compliant for installation in return-air plenums, dropped ceilings, and raised floors without metal conduit—reducing material cost and simplifying cable path design in commercial build-outs. Factory termination through Panduit's QuickNet program ensures each LC connector is cleaved, polished to sub-0.3 dB insertion loss, and individually tested for return loss >20 dB, eliminating the field-termination variability that causes 40/100G link failures when connector endface geometry falls outside the 50µm core alignment tolerance.

Compliant with TIA-568.3-D structured cabling standards, ISO/IEC 11801 international cabling specifications, and ANSI/TIA-942-B data center infrastructure requirements. Panduit QuickNet assemblies ship with serialized test reports traceable to NIST-certified reference standards. The aqua-colored jacket provides instant visual identification of OM4 fiber per TIA-598-D color coding, preventing accidental cross-connection with OM3 (aqua) or single-mode (yellow) infrastructure. For integrators deploying 40/100 Gbps Ethernet backbones, virtualized server clusters, or SAN storage fabrics where fiber infrastructure must support 10+ year service life and multiple transceiver technology migrations, factory-terminated OM4 plenum assemblies eliminate the two most common failure points: improper field polishing and non-compliant jacket materials in air-handling spaces.
