Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM042 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM042 is a 42-meter (137.8 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for rapid deployment in high-density data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. Its uniboot construction simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single duplex connector, reducing bulk and installation time. The OM5 fiber supports higher bandwidth applications and future-proofing network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, and transceivers featuring standard LC Duplex ports. It is suitable for use with OM5-specified equipment and infrastructure requiring 50/125µm wideband multimode fiber. The cable meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within compliant network environments.

Installation Notes

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is critical for installations where fire safety regulations mandate reduced smoke and halogen emissions. The uniboot design allows for easy polarity reversal without re-terminating the cable, simplifying moves, adds, and changes. Ensure proper bend radius is maintained during installation to avoid signal degradation.
