Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM1.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM1.5

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM1.5 OM5 LC Duplex LSZH Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM1.5 is a QuickNet™ pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable in a uniboot LC duplex configuration, cut to 1.5 meters. OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) supports both legacy OM3/OM4 applications and emerging shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) links — meaning this cable doesn't lock you out of 40G/100G upgrades that use multiple wavelengths over a single fiber pair. The 2-fiber, 2mm polished-ceramic (PC) construction provides the clean physical contact needed for low insertion loss in structured cabling runs. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is a non-negotiable requirement in data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where plenum or riser ratings alone don't satisfy local fire and safety codes — LSZH eliminates the toxic, corrosive gas release that standard PVC jackets produce under combustion, protecting personnel and sensitive equipment. The uniboot design collapses the two fibers into a single jacket with a reversible LC connector, which cuts port-face congestion roughly in half compared to standard duplex boots — a practical gain in high-density patch panels where 48 ports per 1U is the norm.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated fiber infrastructure systems including QuickNet fiber cassettes, fiber patch panels, and trunk cable assemblies deployed in fiber optic cabling structured environments. The LC duplex interface is the dominant connector in modern data center and telecom room gear — compatible with SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers on switches, routers, NVRs, and storage arrays from virtually every major vendor. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, making it suitable for network switch uplink connections and inter-rack fiber runs in structured network infrastructure builds. The OM5 lime-green jacket is visually distinct from OM3 (aqua) and OM4 (violet/aqua), reducing mis-patching risk in dense environments.

Installation Notes

The uniboot LC connector uses a push-pull tab for extraction in tight spaces — no latch-release tool required, which matters when working inside fully populated patch panels. The reversible polarity feature (A-to-A or A-to-B) is set at the connector body without re-terminating; confirm polarity scheme matches your cassette or panel before deployment. LSZH jacket requires standard fiber routing guides — avoid bend radii below the cable's minimum specification to maintain insertion loss performance. Minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this SKU is 10 units (LPK1MOQ10).
