Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM042 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM042 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM042 is a 42-meter (137.8 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments. It features pre-terminated LC Duplex connectors, enabling rapid deployment and reducing installation time compared to field-terminated solutions. This cable is suitable for applications requiring high bandwidth and efficient connectivity within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with Panduit's QuickNet™ system components. The OM5 fiber type supports 40GbE and 100GbE applications and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure. The LC Duplex connectors ensure compatibility with standard LC-based transceivers and patch panels commonly found in enterprise and carrier networks. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad system interoperability.

Installation Notes

The Riser (OFNR) flammability rating makes this cable suitable for use within building risers and general-purpose horizontal pathways, but not for plenum spaces. The 1.6mm cable jacket diameter offers a balance between flexibility and durability. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation; while OM5 fiber supports higher bandwidth, excessive bending can still degrade performance.
