Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM018 OM5 2-Fiber LC Uniboot LSZH Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM018 is an 18-meter (59.1 ft) pre-terminated fiber optic patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet™ line, built around OM5 Wideband Multimode 50/125µm fiber with LC Uniboot connectors on both ends. OM5's wideband specification supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) — letting a single 2-fiber strand carry what older multimode runs needed multiple fibers to handle, which directly reduces conduit fill and port count in high-density data center lanes. The LC Uniboot form factor consolidates both fibers into a single jacket and connector body: that halves the bend-radius footprint at patch panels and switches compared to duplex LC pairs, a real advantage when you're dressing hundreds of runs in a structured cabling build.

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket means this cable meets the fire safety requirements for enclosed plenum and raised-floor spaces common in telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas — without the toxic gas emission risk of PVC under heat. Pre-terminated from the factory, the FW2RLU1U1NNM018 installs without field polishing or splicing, cutting deployment time on structured cabling projects where speed matters.

Compatibility

Designed for deployment across structured cabling infrastructure in data centers, telecom rooms, and entrance facilities. Compatible with any LC Duplex port — including switches, transceivers, patch panels, and active equipment accepting standard LC connectors. OM5 glass is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 transceivers; you won't be forced to swap active gear when migrating incrementally. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, so it integrates directly into standards-compliant data center designs without requiring variance documentation. Works with Panduit's QuickNet™ cassette and patch panel ecosystem, as well as third-party LC-ported equipment.

Installation Notes

The LC Uniboot design supports polarity reversal in the field without tools — a useful feature when managing A-to-B port assignments across a large patch field. Route with attention to minimum bend radius for OM5 glass; do not exceed the cable's rated bend radius during dressing or tie-down. LSZH jacket is rated for the environmental conditions typical of indoor structured cabling spaces; confirm plenum vs. riser rating requirements against your local building code before installation in air-handling spaces.
