Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM014 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM014

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM014 OM5 Wideband Multimode LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM014 is a 14-meter (45.9 ft) pre-terminated fiber optic patch cord from the Panduit QuickNet™ catalog — engineered for structured cabling installations in data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where reducing splicing labor and installation time matters. The cable ships factory-terminated with LC Uniboot connectors on both ends, delivering duplex LC connectivity in a single, space-saving ferrule housing that simplifies polarity management and lowers pathway congestion in high-density patching environments. OM5 wideband multimode fiber (50/125µm) supports parallel optic and shortwave division multiplexing (SWDM) wavelengths (850–953nm), making it forward-compatible with 40G, 100G, and emerging 400G applications over multimode infrastructure — a meaningful advantage over standard OM3/OM4 in new builds where bandwidth headroom is a design requirement. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket limits toxic gas emission in the event of fire, satisfying the safety requirements common in European installations and any domestic data center with enclosed plenum or raised-floor air handling. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, covering both North American and international structured cabling compliance for data center network infrastructure.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any LC-duplex-compatible active equipment — including top-of-rack switches, optical transceivers (SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28 breakout configurations), patch panels, and fiber distribution units accepting standard LC connectors. The QuickNet™ pre-terminated format is sized for direct integration with Panduit QuickNet modular cassette systems and standard 1U/2U fiber patch panels using LC-loaded ports. Compatible with any OM5-capable transceiver or legacy OM3/OM4 ports (backward compatible at reduced distance). The 14m length targets mid-cabinet to top-of-rack runs, intra-row equipment connections, and entrance-facility-to-MDA horizontal segments where 10–15m reach is required.

Installation Notes

LC Uniboot connector design consolidates both fibers into a single boot, reducing the cable's bend radius footprint at the patch panel face and freeing up finger access in congested 1U and 2U port rows. Verify polarity before deployment — Uniboot connectors support polarity reversal in the field, but confirm the Method A/B/C scheme matches your cassette or panel layout before patching live links. LSZH jacket requires standard LC ferrule cleaning (IEC 61300-3-35 compliant end-face inspection recommended) prior to insertion. Route away from sharp bend radii; OM5 50/125µm fiber observes the same minimum bend radius guidelines as OM3/OM4 installations.
