Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM1.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM1.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM1.5 is a 2-fiber, OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-density, rapid deployment scenarios. Its OFNR riser rating makes it suitable for vertical runs within buildings, specifically targeting applications in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated infrastructure is critical for quick setup and reduced installation time. This cable utilizes 50/125µm fiber with push-pull connectors, enabling faster termination and connection compared to traditional field-terminated fiber.

Compatibility

This cable is built to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with compliant network infrastructure components. Its OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth and longer reach for applications utilizing short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) transceivers, making it compatible with modern high-speed Ethernet standards such as 40GbE and 100GbE. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into Panduit's QuickNet™ ecosystem of structured cabling solutions.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm jacket diameter and push-pull connectors, facilitating easy handling and insertion into patch panels and equipment ports. The OFNR (Riser) flammability rating dictates its use in non-plenum spaces, typically for vertical cable runs between floors. Ensure compatibility with the specific connector types and fiber management systems you are deploying to maximize installation efficiency.
