Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM049 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM049

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM049 OM5 LC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The FW2RLU1U1NNM049 is a Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber assembly built for structured cabling in data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. It ships ready to plug in — no field termination, no polarity guesswork — which is the point of the QuickNet system: cut installation time in environments where downtime has a dollar value. The cable runs 49 meters (160.8 ft), making it appropriate for inter-rack or cross-floor runs in mid-to-large data center footprints. OM5 (50/125µm wideband multimode) extends the useful life of multimode infrastructure by supporting short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), so this cable is a viable path for 40G and 100G applications over duplex LC — not just legacy 10G. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket meets plenum-adjacent fire safety requirements without the toxic fume signature of PVC: required in occupied buildings and European installations, and increasingly specified in U.S. enterprise projects regardless of code mandate. Compliance is confirmed against TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, covering North American and international structured cabling frameworks.

Compatibility

The LC Duplex connectors terminate standard LC SFP+ and SFP28 ports found across enterprise and data center switching and routing platforms — including Cisco Nexus, Arista 7000-series, Juniper QFX, and HPE FlexFabric switches — as well as LC-based fiber patch panels from Panduit, CommScope, Legrand, and Corning. OM5 is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 equipment: connecting into an OM4 switch port or patch panel works, though the wideband performance advantage applies only when both endpoints support SWDM. This assembly is part of the Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber system and mates directly with QuickNet fiber enclosures, adapter panels, and cassettes using standard LC Duplex interfaces.

Installation Notes

At 49 meters, verify actual cable route length before ordering — rated length is the straight-line manufactured length, not a flexible field measurement. LSZH jackets are less pliable than PVC at low ambient temperatures; avoid tight bends below the cable's minimum bend radius, particularly in congested trays. LC Duplex connectors are keyed and polarity-fixed at the factory; confirm polarity convention (Type A/B/C) matches your panel layout before installation. No field termination tools are required — this is a factory-finished assembly intended for fiber optic cable infrastructure where patch-and-go deployment is the design intent.
