Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM022 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM022

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM022 OM5 LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM022 is a 22-meter (72.2 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable from the QuickNet™ pre-terminated infrastructure line. It ships factory-terminated with LC uniboot connectors on both ends — eliminating field termination and the associated polarity errors that slow structured cabling installations. OM5 50/125µm wideband multimode fiber supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), meaning this cable can carry multi-wavelength parallel optics traffic — a practical advantage in data centers migrating toward 40G, 100G, or higher-density transceivers without a full fiber plant overhaul. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket limits toxic gas and smoke emission in the event of fire — a requirement in plenum, riser, and enclosed equipment rooms where personnel egress and equipment survival are both concerns. Standards compliance with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B means this cable passes structured cabling channel requirements for enterprise and data center environments without additional validation.

Compatibility

Designed for LC duplex SFP and SFP+ ports across data center switches, routers, fiber patch panels, and active equipment from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, Dell, and similar vendors that accept OM5 or OM4 multimode fiber. Compatible with Panduit QuickNet patch panel systems, fiber enclosures, and modular infrastructure designed around LC duplex connectivity. The uniboot form factor reduces cable diameter and bend radius at the connector — useful in high-density patch fields where port spacing is tight and airflow matters. OM5 is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 transceivers; pairing with OM3 or OM4 equipment degrades the link to the lower-grade fiber's spec, but the cable itself will not cause errors.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket rating applies to the cable assembly only — verify that patch panel faceplates, enclosures, and conduit used in the same pathway also carry appropriate fire ratings for the installation environment. The 22-meter length targets cross-patch runs in mid-size equipment rooms or inter-rack runs in larger data halls; measure the routed path (not point-to-point) before ordering, accounting for bend radius allowances and cable management routing.
