Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM048 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM048 is a 48-meter (157.5 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for environments where flame retardancy and low smoke emission are critical. This cable is engineered for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas requiring pre-terminated fiber infrastructure for high-speed network links.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with any network equipment featuring LC Duplex ports. The OM5 fiber type supports a broad range of wavelengths, making it compatible with short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) transceivers for 40GbE and 100GbE applications, as well as legacy 10GbE links. It adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network hardware.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design of the LC connectors simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single cable jacket. This reduces clutter and improves airflow in high-density racks. Ensure proper bend radius is maintained during installation to prevent signal degradation; OM5 fiber typically requires a minimum bend radius of 20mm (0.79 inches) for loaded cables.
