Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM027 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM027 is a 27-meter (88.6 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density, rapid deployment scenarios. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends and a 1.6mm diameter cable with an OFNR (Riser) flammability rating, making it suitable for vertical installations within data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where structured cabling infrastructure is paramount.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to connect active network equipment, patch panels, and other fiber optic infrastructure components. Its OM5 fiber type supports up to 400G Ethernet applications and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4, ensuring flexibility with existing infrastructure. The LC Duplex connectors are standard for many network switches, servers, and optical transceivers used in enterprise and carrier environments. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter with its Riser (OFNR) rating is intended for use within building pathways but not for plenum spaces. The push-pull latching mechanism on the LC connectors provides a secure connection and facilitates quick installation and removal. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 10mm for 1.6mm cable) to maintain signal integrity.
