Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM019 OM5 Fiber Cable

Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM019 OM5 Fiber Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM019 is a 19-meter (62.3 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends, facilitating rapid pre-terminated infrastructure for efficient network build-outs. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40GbE and 100GbE, over shorter distances compared to OM3/OM4, making it suitable for modern network backbones.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with 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 network switches, servers, and other active equipment from vendors supporting these specifications. The OM5 fiber is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 infrastructure, though performance benefits are realized with OM5-compatible transceivers.

Installation Notes

The cable features a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for vertical runs within buildings but not for plenum spaces. With a 1.6mm jacket diameter, it offers a balance between durability and flexibility for cable management within racks and cabinets. Proper bend radius management is critical for OM5 fiber to maintain signal integrity; avoid sharp bends exceeding 10x the cable diameter (approx. 16mm or 0.63 inches).
