Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM004 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM004 is a 4-meter (13.12 ft) OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features LC Push-Pull connectors on both ends, facilitating secure and reliable connections for structured cabling systems where quick, tool-less termination is required. The OM5 multimode fiber supports a wider range of wavelengths, enabling higher bandwidth and future-proofing network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, and patch panels utilizing standard LC Duplex connectors. It is suitable for use within Panduit's Opti-Core® fiber optic systems and general-purpose data center interconnects requiring OM5 performance. Specific compatibility extends to network switches, routers, servers, and media converters that accept LC Duplex connections for multimode fiber, including those supporting 40GbE, 100GbE, and higher speeds over short to medium distances.

Installation Notes

The LC Push-Pull connectors offer a secure latching mechanism, preventing accidental disconnections. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal signal integrity. The OFNR (Riser) rated jacket is suitable for vertical pathway installations within commercial buildings, adhering to safety standards like IEC 60332-1-2 for flame retardancy. Cable management practices should ensure the bend radius of 2mm fiber is not violated to prevent signal loss.
