Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM011 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM011 is an 11-meter (36.1 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its uniboot construction simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single duplex connector, reducing bundle size and installation complexity. This cable is engineered for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where infrastructure needs to be installed quickly and efficiently. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures compliance with safety regulations in environments where fire performance is critical.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors on both ends, making it compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, and fiber optic transceivers that accept standard LC duplex interfaces. The OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber type is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 but offers enhanced performance for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications, supporting higher bandwidth over existing infrastructure. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant networking gear.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design requires careful handling to ensure the correct polarity is maintained during connection. Each connector has a switchable polarity mechanism, allowing for Type A or Type B configurations without re-terminating the fiber. The 50/125µm core/cladding diameter of OM5 fiber is standard for multimode applications. The LSZH jacket is suitable for installation within conduits, cable trays, and plenum spaces where fire retardancy is mandated. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation.
