Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM030 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM030 is a 30-meter (98.43 ft) OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data center and enterprise network applications. Featuring lime green OFNR riser-rated jacketing, this cord supports multi-mode transmission for demanding environments where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The specific deployment scenario for this cable is between network switches, servers, or patch panels requiring OM5 performance and LC Push-Pull connectors.

Compatibility

This Panduit Opti-Core® patch cord utilizes LC Duplex Push-Pull connectors on both ends, ensuring secure and easy mating with compatible LC duplex ports. It is designed for use with OM5 multi-mode fiber infrastructure, supporting applications such as 100Gbps Ethernet (400GBASE-SR4 and beyond) and other high-speed serial interfaces. Ensure your network equipment and patch panels are equipped with matching LC duplex connectors and support OM5 fiber specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNR (Riser), suitable for vertical runs within building risers but not for use in plenums without additional protection or conduit. The 2mm cable diameter and duplex configuration require standard LC duplex port spacing. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity and prevent fiber damage. The Push-Pull connector design simplifies insertion and removal, but care should be taken to ensure connectors are clean before mating.
