Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM2.5 OM4 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM2.5 is an 8.2 ft (2.5m) OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord featuring LC uniboot connectors on both ends. Its plenum-rated (OFNP) Aqua jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces within data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network environments where fire safety codes mandate plenum-rated cabling. This cord provides essential interconnectivity for pre-terminated cassette systems, supporting high-bandwidth applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use within Panduit's Opti-Core® fiber optic systems and general data center infrastructure. It is compatible with any standard LC duplex ports on network switches, servers, patch panels, and fiber optic cassettes that support OM4 multi-mode fiber specifications. The uniboot design simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single cable jacket with a pull-boot connector, reducing port density requirements.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design allows for easy polarity reversal without re-termination. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to maintain optimal insertion loss. The plenum rating (OFNP) is critical for installations requiring compliance with building codes for air-handling spaces. The Aqua color clearly identifies it as OM4 fiber, preventing accidental use with single-mode or lower-grade multi-mode fiber types.
