Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM037 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM037 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM037 is a 37-meter (121.4 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center environments. This pre-terminated cable simplifies deployment, reducing installation time and potential errors in critical infrastructure areas like telecommunications rooms and equipment distribution areas. Its OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), enabling future-proofing for higher data rates.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors, a standard for high-density fiber patching. It is compatible with any equipment or patch panels featuring LC Duplex ports. The OM5 fiber type is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure but is optimized for SWDM applications, making it suitable for use with transceivers like 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 where SWDM is leveraged. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within compliant network architectures.

Installation Notes

The cable features a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for use within the general building environment but not for plenum spaces. The 1.6mm cable jacket diameter is robust for standard patching. Ensure proper bend radius management (typically 10x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity, especially within high-density racks. The LC Duplex connectors provide a secure, keyed connection.
