Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM046 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM046 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM046 is a 46-meter OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It utilizes a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for safety compliance in plenum spaces and features a Uniboot/Unibea design for simplified cable management. This cable provides a pre-terminated infrastructure solution for rapid deployment, ensuring consistent performance and reducing installation time in critical network environments.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use in any application requiring OM5 fiber connectivity with LC Duplex connectors. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment and infrastructure from various manufacturers that support these specifications. The OM5 fiber type is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 but offers enhanced performance for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications, supporting higher bandwidths and future-proofing network upgrades.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket meets flammability requirements for use in air-handling spaces, but verify local building codes for specific installation restrictions. The Uniboot/Unibea connector design simplifies polarity management and reduces the number of cables required in high-density racks. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 10x cable diameter) to prevent signal degradation or damage to the fiber core, especially when routing the 46-meter length.
