Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM021 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM021 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM021 is a 21-meter (68.9 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC Duplex connectors on one end and SC Duplex connectors on the other, with a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating. This cable is designed for rapid deployment in high-density environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, providing a pre-terminated solution to simplify installation and ensure reliable backbone connectivity.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment utilizing LC Duplex and SC Duplex interfaces. Its OM5 fiber type supports 100Gbps Ethernet applications over short distances, making it suitable for inter-rack connections and switch-to-patch panel links in modern data center architectures.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in vertical pathways within a building but not in plenums. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, especially given the 1.6mm jacket diameter. The pre-terminated connectors simplify field termination, reducing installation time and potential for error.
