Panduit FW2uit FW2ERLNSNSNM015 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit Opti-Core® FW2ERLNSNSNM015 is a 15-meter (49.21 ft) duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. Featuring OM5 multi-mode fiber with lime green jacketing for easy identification, this cord connects LC Duplex ports to SC Duplex ports. Its Riser (OFNR) flammability rating makes it suitable for in-wall installations within commercial buildings, including data centers and surveillance infrastructure where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical.
Compatibility
This patch cord is engineered for use with standard LC Duplex and SC Duplex fiber optic interfaces found in network switches, servers, transceivers, and patch panels. It is compatible with any equipment utilizing OM5 multi-mode fiber specifications, ensuring broad interoperability within structured cabling systems. Specifically, it supports high-bandwidth applications such as 40GbE and 100GbE over short to medium distances, common in enterprise networks and high-density data center deployments.
Installation Notes
The 1.6mm diameter cable offers a balance of flexibility and durability. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, especially with OM5 fiber which supports WDM applications. The OFNR rating dictates its use in vertical pathways or between floors, but not in plenum spaces. Adherence to IEC 60332-1-2 standards ensures flame retardancy for safety compliance.
