Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM041 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM041 is a 41-meter (134.5 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic cable assembly. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends and utilizes a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for deployments where fire safety and minimal smoke emission are critical. This pre-terminated cable is designed for rapid deployment in high-density environments such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas, reducing installation time and complexity compared to field-terminated fiber.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with any equipment featuring standard LC Duplex fiber optic ports. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking gear, including switches, routers, and transceivers that support OM5 multimode fiber. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for 40GbE and 100GbE links over multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket requires careful handling during installation to avoid damage, but offers improved safety in plenum spaces. The uniboot/unibea design facilitates easier cable management by allowing the two fibers within a single jacket to be reversed or managed efficiently. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation and maintain optimal performance. The 41-meter length is suitable for inter-rack connections or runs within a data hall where precise cable length is required.
