Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM013 OM5 2-Fiber LC Uniboot LSZH Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM013 is a 13-meter (42.7 ft), 2-fiber OM5 wideband multimode patch cable from the QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber system. It uses LC Uniboot connectors on both ends — a single-jacket, dual-fiber push-pull design that cuts cable diameter roughly in half compared to standard duplex cordage. In high-density fiber optic environments like core switching rows or hyperconverged compute racks, that space savings translates directly to improved airflow and less congested pathways. The LSZH jacket meets Low Smoke Zero Halogen requirements — a hard requirement in plenum and enclosed-space data center builds where toxic fume generation during a fire is a compliance issue, not an option. At 13m, this cable suits inter-rack and cross-row runs where short patch lengths fall short but structured backbone runs are overkill. The OM5 fiber (50/125µm wideband multimode) supports SWDM4 and parallel optic applications — meaning you can run 40G and 100G over this cable using wideband transceivers, preserving infrastructure investment as bandwidth demands grow.

Compatibility

Designed for use with LC-compatible patch panels, fiber enclosures, and active equipment across Panduit QuickNet™ fiber infrastructure and third-party systems accepting standard LC Duplex interfaces. Compatible with any SFP+ or QSFP transceiver using LC connectors and rated for OM5 or backward-compatible OM3/OM4 multimode fiber. Suitable for network switches, servers, and storage arrays in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — the principal standards for structured cabling infrastructure in commercial and enterprise data center design. Confirm your patch panel accepts LC Uniboot connectors specifically — standard LC duplex adapters will not accept the uniboot push-pull housing without a uniboot-compatible adapter or adapter plate.

Installation Notes

The LC Uniboot push-pull tab enables tool-free insertion and extraction in dense panels — pull the tab forward to disengage the latch without a clip tool, which matters when cables are packed tightly enough that finger access is restricted. Route with a minimum bend radius appropriate for 2mm cordage (typically 10x the cable OD under load, 20x unloaded — verify against the applicable TIA-568.3-D installation guidelines for the final run). The LSZH jacket is rated for use in plenum-adjacent and enclosed spaces per the applicable fire code requirements of the installation jurisdiction; confirm local code compliance before specifying in riser or plenum pathways where CMP or CMR-rated cables may be explicitly required instead.
