Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM3.5 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM3.5 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM3.5 is a 2-fiber OM5 Wideband Multimode duplex patch cable featuring LC connectors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. This cable is engineered for rapid deployment in high-bandwidth environments, specifically within data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for efficient network build-outs. Its OM5 rating supports advanced applications like short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for increased bandwidth over existing infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with any network equipment featuring LC duplex fiber optic ports. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad compatibility with industry-standard patch panels, transceivers (like SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and network switches. The 50/125µm fiber core is optimized for SWDM transceivers, enabling higher data rates over shorter distances.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket provides reduced smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for plenum spaces where required by code. The UNIBOOT design simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single jacketed cable with a single connector tab mechanism, reducing tangling and improving airflow in dense rack environments. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 25mm for static, 50mm for dynamic) to maintain signal integrity.
