Panduit FW2LU1U1ONM038 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1ONM038

Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM038 OM5 LC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM038 is part of the QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber system — a 38-meter (124.7 ft), 2-fiber OM5 Wideband Multimode (50/125µm) patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. At that run length, OM5's wideband capability supports wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM4) applications — giving data centers a forward path to 40G and 100G over existing infrastructure without recabling. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket eliminates the toxic gas and smoke hazard that PVC jackets present in plenum and enclosed equipment spaces, making this the compliant choice for telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where fire codes or safety requirements preclude PVC.

Compatibility

FW2RLU1U1ONM038 is engineered for Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber systems, including QuickNet fiber cassettes, MPO-to-LC modules, and patch panels designed for LC duplex connectivity. The LC duplex connector mates with standard LC ports on switches, transceivers, SFP modules, and active equipment from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, HPE, and other vendors following the TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards. OM5 (lime-green jacket) is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 equipment — you can connect it to existing OM3/OM4 LC ports, though throughput will be limited by the lower-grade fiber at the far end. Designed for horizontal or backbone runs within structured cabling infrastructure meeting ANSI/TIA-942-B data center standards.

Installation Notes

At 38 meters, this cable exceeds typical patch-bay-to-patch-bay runs and is suited for structured cross-connect segments or longer horizontal runs within a data center floor. The LSZH jacket is required for compliance in many European and international installations, and is increasingly specified in North American high-density equipment areas. Route with appropriate bend radius protection — LC connectors are susceptible to signal degradation if cables are kinked or over-bent near the termination. Pre-terminated from the factory under controlled conditions, so field polishing is not required; inspect ferrule end-faces before installation using a fiber inspection scope to confirm no transit damage.
