Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM013 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM013 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM013 is a 13-meter (42.7 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends and is rated OFNR (Riser) for vertical cable runs. This cable is designed for rapid deployment in environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for efficient network build-outs. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth and a wider range of wavelengths compared to older multimode standards, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with network equipment featuring LC Duplex fiber optic ports. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with industry-standard hardware. Specific applications include connections between network switches, servers, storage devices, and other active equipment within structured cabling systems. The use of OM5 fiber makes it compatible with short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) transceivers for higher speed applications over multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

The OFNR (Riser) rating indicates suitability for vertical pathways within commercial buildings, but it is not suitable for use in plenums. The 1.6mm cable jacket diameter and the robust LC Duplex connectors facilitate easy handling and termination. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, especially given the higher bandwidth capabilities of OM5 fiber. The cable is pre-terminated, eliminating the need for on-site fiber termination equipment.
