Panduit FZ23RSNSNSNM8.5 OM4 2-Fiber SC Duplex Riser Cable

Overview

The Panduit FZ23RSNSNSNM8.5 is a factory-terminated OM4 multimode fiber optic cable assembly designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. It utilizes SC Duplex connectors on both ends, providing a plug-and-play solution for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. This cable simplifies infrastructure setup, reducing installation time and the risk of termination errors common with field-terminated fiber.

Compatibility

This FZ23RSNSNSNM8.5 cable is engineered for use with standard SC Duplex connectors found on network switches, servers, and other fiber optic equipment. Its OM4 fiber type supports 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 150 meters and is backward compatible with OM3 infrastructure. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad interoperability within compliant network architectures.

Installation Notes

The cable features a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for vertical runs within buildings but not for air-handling spaces. The 3mm jacket diameter offers a balance of flexibility and durability for intra-rack and inter-rack connections. Ensure proper bend radius management (typically 10x cable diameter) to avoid signal degradation and maintain performance integrity.
