Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM041 OM5 LC Uniboot LSZH Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM041 is a pre-terminated 2-fiber OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) patch cord in Panduit's QuickNet™ fiber infrastructure line, cut to 41 meters (134.5 ft) with LC Uniboot connectors on each end. OM5 wideband multimode supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) alongside standard 850nm transceivers — meaning this same cable works today with conventional 10G/25G LC optics and tomorrow with SWDM4 transceivers for 40G or 100G over a single duplex run. That forward compatibility is the core reason to specify OM5 in a new data center build rather than pulling more OM4. The 2-fiber duplex count suits standard LC SFP+ and SFP28 connections. At 41m, this cord reaches across mid-size equipment rooms and between adjacent rows in a data hall without a splice point.

Compatibility

LC Duplex connectors are the dominant interface on enterprise fiber optic infrastructure — compatible with any SFP+ (10GbE), SFP28 (25GbE), or SFP56 (50GbE) transceiver using LC receptacles, including those from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, and Dell. Works directly with Panduit QuickNet pre-terminated trunk systems, high-density cassette modules, and LC patch panels in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas as called out in the application spec. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — required compliance benchmarks for structured cabling in data center environments conforming to TIA-942 Tier ratings. The LSZH jacket satisfies flammability and toxic-gas-emission requirements for enclosed plenum and riser spaces where halogen-based PVC jackets are restricted by local code, common in European installations and increasingly in US data halls.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot design consolidates the two fibers into a single round jacket rather than a duplex zipcord, cutting pathway fill by roughly half in crowded cable trays and minimizing bend-radius violations in tight ladder rack runs. Polarity on Uniboot assemblies is field-reversible by flipping the connector key — confirm polarity scheme (Method A, B, or C per TIA-568) against your cassette and switch port map before routing. PC (physical contact) polish delivers a typical return loss of ≥ 20 dB and insertion loss ≤ 0.5 dB per mated pair, suitable for all OM5-rated transceiver classes. At 41m, verify total channel insertion loss budget against your transceiver's receiver sensitivity — most 10GBASE-SR links allow up to 1.9 dB channel loss at 850nm, and a single factory-terminated cord of this length sits well within that ceiling.
