Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM036 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM036

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM036 OM5 LC Duplex Pre-Terminated Fiber Cable

Overview

The Panduit QuickNet™ FW2RLU1U1NNM036 is a pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic cable delivering 2 fibers over a 36-meter (118.1 ft) run with LC duplex connectors on both ends. Pre-terminated construction eliminates field splicing and reduces installation time — the correct choice for structured cabling builds in data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where you need a plug-and-play fiber link rather than a fusion-splice job. The LSZH jacket keeps the cable code-compliant in plenum-adjacent and enclosed spaces where halogen off-gassing is a life-safety concern.

OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) supports shortwave division multiplexing (SWDM) over a broader wavelength range than OM3/OM4 — meaning this cable is forward-compatible with 100G and beyond over multi-lane transceivers, rather than constraining you to the single-wavelength limits of older multimode grades. Compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, so it fits into standards-documented data center cabling architectures without a certification asterisk.

Compatibility

LC duplex connectors are the dominant interface for SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 transceivers — compatible with switching and routing platforms from Cisco Nexus and Catalyst, Arista 7000-series, Juniper QFX, Brocade ICX, HPE ProCurve/Aruba, and any other vendor whose SFP ports accept LC duplex connectors. Also pairs directly with Panduit QuickNet cassette-based fiber optic patching systems, as well as standard LC-port patch panels from any manufacturer. For fiber optic cable runs requiring different lengths or fiber counts, review the broader Panduit QuickNet lineup for matched options.

Installation Notes

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket requires no special conduit in most code jurisdictions but verify local fire codes before routing in air-handling spaces. Pre-polished factory connectors mean no field termination tools required — inspect ferrule endfaces before install and protect with dust caps until mated. Handle with standard fiber bend-radius precautions; avoid tight bends near connector boots that could induce insertion loss spikes. The 36m fixed length is suited to mid-reach intra-rack and inter-row data center cabling runs; confirm your rack-to-rack or device-to-patch-panel distance before ordering, as pre-terminated assemblies cannot be trimmed in the field.
