Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM047 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM047 is a 47-meter (154.2 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic cable assembly. It utilizes LC duplex connectors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for environments requiring reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire. This pre-terminated cable is designed for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where high-speed, reliable fiber connectivity is critical.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard LC duplex fiber optic interfaces found in network switches, servers, transceivers, and patch panels. The OM5 fiber type supports applications requiring higher bandwidth and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) capabilities, such as 40GbE and 100GbE, over shorter distances. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design allows for a single cable jacket to house two fibers, simplifying cable management and reducing bundle size compared to traditional duplex cables. The LSZH jacket is suitable for plenum spaces where fire safety codes mandate reduced smoke and halogen content. Ensure proper bend radius management (refer to Panduit guidelines) to maintain signal integrity, especially when routing the 47-meter length.
