Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM026 OM5 26m Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM026 OM5 26m Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2LU1U1ONM026 is a 26-meter (85.3 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments. Its uniboot construction consolidates two fibers into a single jacket with a push-pull tab for LC duplex connections, simplifying cable management and reducing bulk. This cable is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated, making it suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern. It supports rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber infrastructure, crucial for modern network builds.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors and OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber, compatible with network equipment and patch panels featuring standard LC duplex ports. OM5 fiber supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40GbE and 100GbE, over short distances, and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability within compliant network architectures.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design features a push-pull tab for easy insertion and removal of LC duplex connectors, simplifying termination in dense racks. The LSZH jacket offers reduced smoke and halogen emissions during a fire, aligning with safety regulations for enclosed spaces like data centers and telecommunications rooms. Ensure proper bend radius management to maintain signal integrity, especially given the high-bandwidth applications supported by OM5 fiber.
