Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM3.5 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM3.5 is a 2-fiber OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable, terminated with LC Duplex connectors on both ends. Its Riser (OFNR) flammability rating makes it suitable for vertical runs within buildings. This cable is designed for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for efficient network build-outs and upgrades.
Compatibility
This OM5 cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing LC Duplex connectors and supporting OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber specifications. It is designed to meet TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with standard-compliant network switches, transceivers, and other fiber optic infrastructure components. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40GbE and 100GbE, over shorter distances compared to OM3/OM4.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 1.6mm jacket diameter, offering a balance between durability and flexibility for installation. As a Riser (OFNR) rated cable, it is intended for use within a single building or floor, but not for use in plenums or air-handling spaces where plenum-rated (CMP) cable is required. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, especially when connecting to patch panels and equipment ports.
