Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM0.5 OM5 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM0.5 is a 2-fiber OM5 wideband multimode patch cord designed for high-density network infrastructure. It utilizes 1.6mm jacketed cable with Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for deployment in commercial buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. This pre-terminated fiber optic solution facilitates rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, minimizing installation time and complexity.

Compatibility

This Panduit QuickNet™ cable is engineered to meet TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with industry-standard fiber optic equipment and patch panels. The OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth applications and future-proofing for 40/100 Gbps Ethernet and beyond, making it suitable for use with compatible transceivers and network devices in enterprise and data center environments.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter is optimized for high-density patching, reducing pathway fill. The OFNR rating indicates suitability for riser pathways, but not for air-handling plenums. Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to maintain signal integrity, particularly with the 50/125µm core and cladding structure.
