Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM043 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM043

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM043 OM5 LC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The FW2RLU1U1NNM043 is a 43-meter (141.1 ft) pre-terminated OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber assembly from Panduit's QuickNet line, built for structured cabling installations where field termination is not an option. Shipping factory-terminated with LC duplex uniboot connectors on both ends, it drops directly into patch panels and transceivers — no splicing, no polarity guesswork in a live rack. The 50/125µm OM5 glass supports current 10/40/100G multimode applications and is rated for the higher-bandwidth demands of emerging SWDM4 parallel-wavelength transmission, making it a durable choice in data centers planning incremental capacity growth. The LSZH jacket keeps installation compliant in plenum-sensitive and enclosed-pathway environments where halogen off-gassing is a life-safety concern. Standards alignment covers TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — the three most commonly cited specs in data center fiber optic cabling bid documents.

Compatibility

Designed for structured cabling infrastructure in data center and enterprise environments. Compatible with any LC duplex SFP/SFP+ transceiver port on multimode-capable switches, NVRs, and servers — including equipment from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Ubiquiti, and HPE that accepts OM3/OM4/OM5 fiber. The LC uniboot connector format is compatible with standard LC duplex patch panel ports and fiber enclosures from Panduit, Corning, and equivalent manufacturers. OM5 is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 ports; you will not gain SWDM4 bandwidth unless both endpoints support it, but existing 10G/40G infrastructure will run without issue. Verify that your patch panel and transceiver module are both rated for multimode LC duplex before ordering — this cable does not work with single-mode (OS1/OS2) ports. For NVR uplink runs or camera network backbones exceeding standard copper distances, this length covers most equipment-room-to-IDF spans.

Installation Notes

At 43 meters, route carefully through cable trays to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified for OM5 fiber — typically 10x the cable OD for dynamic routing and 7.5x for static. The LSZH jacket is suitable for enclosed spaces, air-handling areas, and jurisdictions with strict halogen restrictions, but confirm local fire code requirements before substituting for riser-rated assemblies. The uniboot LC connector simplifies polarity management in high-density panels: a single boot houses both fibers, reducing connector footprint at the patch field. No tools are required for installation — connectors are pre-polished and factory-tested.
