Panduit FZ23LSNSNSNM3.5 OM4 2F 3MM PC LSZH SC Duplex/SC Duplex 10 Meter Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ23LSNSNSNM3.5 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode QuickNet™ fiber optic cable assembly terminated with SC Duplex connectors on both ends. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety and minimal smoke emission are critical, such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. This pre-terminated cable simplifies deployment, reducing installation time and the need for on-site termination expertise.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use in standard fiber optic network infrastructure. The SC Duplex connectors are compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, and media converters featuring SC Duplex ports. Its OM4 fiber type supports higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to OM3 for 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet applications. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant systems.

Installation Notes

The 3mm jacket diameter and LSZH rating are key considerations for installation planning. While OM4 supports higher speeds, ensure your transceivers and network switches are configured to match the cable's capabilities. The LSZH rating is mandatory in certain building codes and environments. The cable is 10 meters in length, which should be factored into cable management and pathway design to avoid excessive slack or strain.
