Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM027 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2erlNLNSNM027 is a 27-meter (88.6 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic cable, featuring LC Duplex connectors on both ends. This pre-terminated cable is designed for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where high-speed, reliable fiber infrastructure is critical. The OM5 fiber type supports a wider range of wavelengths, enabling higher bandwidth and future-proofing network upgrades for applications like 40GbE and 100GbE.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with standard LC Duplex fiber optic ports found in network switches, servers, transceivers (e.g., SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and patch panels designed for OM5 or OM4/OM3 multimode fiber. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with equipment from various manufacturers that meet these specifications.

Installation Notes

The cable features a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for use in vertical pathways within commercial buildings but not in plenums. Each fiber is 1.6mm in diameter. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage; avoid bends tighter than 10 times the cable diameter (approximately 16mm for this cable).
