Panduit FW2erlnlnsnm004 OM5 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM004 is a 4-meter (13.12 ft) OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cord. It features standard polarity and standard insertion loss, making it suitable for high-speed data center and enterprise network interconnects where reliable, low-loss connections are critical. The lime green jacket indicates OM5 multimode fiber, optimized for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications like 40GbE and 100GbE over distances up to 400 meters.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use within fiber optic systems requiring LC duplex connectors. It is compatible with network switches, transceivers, and patch panels that utilize LC duplex interfaces. The OM5 fiber type supports a wide range of applications, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand, across various enterprise and data center environments. It is suitable for interconnecting equipment within racks or between adjacent racks.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm diameter and an OFNR (riser) flammability rating, suitable for vertical runs within a building's riser pathway. It meets IEC 60332-1-2 standards for flame retardancy. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation and damage. The standard insertion loss specification means it's suitable for most standard network link budgets.
