Panduit FW2ERLNLNNNM004 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit FW2ERLNLNNNM004 is a duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-bandwidth, short-reach applications within data centers and enterprise network closets. It utilizes OM5 multimode fiber, enabling support for emerging applications like SWDM (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and future higher-speed Ethernet standards. The 1.6mm jacket diameter offers a balance of flexibility and durability for structured cabling deployments. This cord is rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive, Riser), suitable for vertical runs within buildings.
Compatibility
This Panduit FW2ERLNLNNNM004 patch cord is engineered for use with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex connectors, including switches, servers, transceivers (like SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and patch panels. It is compatible with OM5, OM4, and OM3 fiber optic infrastructure, providing backward compatibility for existing deployments while enabling future upgrades to higher speeds and wavelengths.
Installation Notes
When installing the FW2ERLNLNNNM004, maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.6 inches (40mm) for the 1.6mm jacketed cable to prevent signal loss or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid performance degradation. The LC duplex connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
