Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM048 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM048

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM048 OM5 LC Duplex 2-Fiber 48m LSZH Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM048 is a QuickNet™ pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable purpose-built for structured cabling infrastructure in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. The 48-meter (157.5 ft) run — with LC duplex connectors on both ends in a uniboot configuration — eliminates field termination entirely, cutting installation time and removing the risk of installer-introduced insertion loss. OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) supports parallel optics and shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), giving this cable a forward migration path to 40G and 100G applications that standard OM3/OM4 cannot match without infrastructure replacement.

Compatibility

LC duplex connectivity is the dominant interface on enterprise-class switches, fiber optic transceivers, and patch panels from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, HPE/Aruba, and Dell — this cable mates directly with any LC-duplex SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 port without adapters. The uniboot jacket keeps both fibers in a single round sheath, which pairs naturally with high-density LC adapter panels and fiber patch panels in 1U and 2U enclosures where conventional duplex zipcord would add unwanted bulk. OM5 is backward-compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure, so this cable integrates into mixed-generation fiber plants without requiring a fork-lift upgrade. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, satisfying compliance requirements for Tier 1–4 data center cabling designs.

Installation Notes

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is mandatory — not optional — in enclosed spaces, plenum corridors, and European-standard installations where halogen off-gassing during fire events is a code concern. LSZH does not substitute for a plenum (CMP) rating in North American air-handling spaces governed by NEC Article 800; confirm local code requirements before routing. At 48 meters this cable is pre-measured for inter-rack or MDA-to-HDA runs; verify actual measured path length (including slack loops and vertical managers) before ordering, as Panduit fiber cables in this QuickNet™ family are available in discrete factory lengths and field re-termination voids the pre-terminated performance guarantee.
