Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM019 OM5 2-Fiber LC Duplex LSZH Fiber Patch Cable
Overview
The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM019 is a 19-meter (62.3 ft) pre-terminated fiber optic patch cable from Panduit's QuickNet™ infrastructure line, built around OM5 wideband multimode 50/125µm fiber with LC duplex connectors on both ends. Where this cable earns its place: any structured cabling run that needs to support parallel wavelength transmission (SWDM4) — the defining performance advantage of OM5 over OM3/OM4 — without pulling field-terminated assemblies. At 19m, this length suits inter-rack or zone-to-zone runs within a data center floor, or equipment-room-to-distribution-area segments in larger enterprise or telecom facilities. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket means combustion byproducts won't compound evacuation hazards in enclosed or plenum-adjacent spaces — a code compliance requirement in many European and domestic transit or public-access facility installations. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, covering the standards landscape for both North American data center and international structured cabling deployments.
Compatibility
Drop-in compatible with any LC duplex port operating on multimode transceivers — including SFP+ 10G (10GBASE-SR), SFP28 25G (25GBASE-SR), and QSFP28 100G (100GBASE-SR4 with parallel fiber breakout) equipment. OM5 is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 infrastructure; this cable will link into existing LC fiber adapter panels and patch panels without modification. Appropriate for use with switches, NVRs, servers, and storage arrays that use LC-form transceivers in multimode configurations. Pairs naturally with Panduit QuickNet pre-terminated cassettes and trunk assemblies where consistent jacket material (LSZH) and fiber grade (OM5) are needed throughout the channel for standards compliance.
Installation Notes
LSZH jacket compounds are less flexible at low temperatures than standard PVC — route and dress this cable at room temperature before final lock-in in cold data hall environments. The LC duplex connector format is keyed and polarity-locked; verify polarity scheme (A-to-B or A-to-A) against your patch panel and transceiver documentation before bulk installation of multiple assemblies. At 19m, bend radius management matters — maintain a minimum bend radius appropriate for 2mm-diameter duplex fiber throughout the run to avoid insertion loss penalties that undermine OM5's extended-reach advantage.
