Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM028 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM028 is a 28-meter (91.9 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth applications in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. Its pre-terminated configuration with LC Duplex connectors and OFNR riser-rated jacket facilitates rapid deployment and simplifies network infrastructure builds where quick fiber connectivity is essential.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use in environments requiring TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B compliant fiber optic infrastructure. It is suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and other active equipment utilizing LC Duplex interfaces within these standards. The OM5 fiber type supports 40GbE and 100GbE applications over short to medium distances, making it compatible with modern high-speed networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm jacket diameter and is rated OFNR (Riser), suitable for vertical runs within a single building but not for use in air-handling spaces. The PushPull LC connectors ensure a secure and simple connection, reducing installation time and the risk of accidental disconnections. Ensure proper bend radius management to maintain signal integrity, especially in dense rack environments.
