Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM026 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM026 is a 26-meter (85.3 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications environments. Its pre-terminated construction with Push-Pull LC Duplex connectors enables rapid deployment, reducing installation time and complexity in critical infrastructure areas. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40/100GbE, while the OFNR riser rating ensures compliance for in-building vertical runs.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with network equipment featuring LC Duplex ports, common in enterprise data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network switches, servers, and transceivers. The OM5 fiber specification is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 but offers extended performance for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications.

Installation Notes

The Push-Pull LC Duplex connectors provide a secure, snap-in connection that requires minimal force, simplifying installation in tight spaces. The 1.6mm cable jacket diameter and OFNR rating are suitable for vertical runs within telecommunications racks and pathways. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 10x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity.
