Panduit FW2LU1U1ONM045 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1ONM045

Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM045 OM5 LC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM045 is a 45-meter (147.6 ft) pre-terminated OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable from the QuickNet™ family, built for structured cabling deployments that need to go live fast without field termination. The 2-fiber LC Uniboot-to-LC duplex configuration with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes this the right pick for fiber optic cabling runs inside data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where outgassing is a safety concern and polarity management matters. OM5 Wideband Multimode (50/125µm) supports both traditional duplex transmission and short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), giving you a forward path to 40G and 100G applications over the same fiber count that a standard OM3 or OM4 run would use for a single channel — directly relevant if you're planning density upgrades without a full replant.

Compatibility

Designed for LC-compatible patch panels, switches, and transceivers across major network infrastructure platforms. Connects directly to LC Uniboot-ready panels and standard LC duplex ports on equipment from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, Dell, and similar vendors. Compatible with Panduit QuickNet modular cassette systems and high-density patch panel solutions designed around LC-form-factor adapters. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — verified compatible with any infrastructure deployment specifying these standards. The LSZH jacket satisfies NEC plenum-alternative requirements in jurisdictions that accept LSZH in place of riser or plenum-rated jacket compounds; confirm local code before substituting.

Installation Notes

At 45 meters, this cable is sized for inter-rack or cross-row runs inside large data halls rather than short patch applications — verify your horizontal or backbone run distance before ordering. The LC Uniboot connector integrates both fibers in a single push-pull housing, cutting panel port footprint roughly in half compared to conventional duplex boots and simplifying polarity flips without retermination. LSZH jacket requires no special tools but should not be used in air-handling plenums where a listed plenum rating is mandated by code. Handle bend radius per TIA-568.3-D minimum — 30mm under load, 15mm unloaded — particularly on routed paths through cable managers and J-hooks.
