Panduit FW2LU1U1NNM7.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable - FW2RLU1U1NNM7.5

Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM7.5 OM5 LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM7.5 is a factory-terminated, 7.5-meter OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet™ fiber cable line. Built on 50/125µm glass with LC Uniboot duplex connectors, it targets structured cabling installations in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated infrastructure cuts deployment time versus field-terminated solutions. The Uniboot design consolidates both fibers into a single LC connector housing — halving the connector footprint at the patch panel versus a standard duplex LC assembly, which directly improves port density in high-density fiber enclosures. OM5 wideband multimode glass supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), making this cable forward-compatible with 40G and 100G parallel optic applications over a single pair of fibers — useful in infrastructure refresh projects where the active equipment will be upgraded before the cabling layer is replaced.

Compatibility

Connects any LC-duplex SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 transceiver port to LC-equipped fiber patch panels and enclosures. Compatible with Panduit QuickNet™ high-density fiber cassettes, MPO/LC breakout modules, and fiber distribution enclosures accepting LC Uniboot connectors. Works with OM5-capable transceivers from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and other vendors specifying 50/125µm multimode fiber for 10G, 25G, 40G, or 100G SWDM links. Verify Uniboot polarity method (Method A/B/C per TIA-568.3-D) against the opposite end patch panel or cassette before installation — polarity mismatch is the most common cause of link failure in Uniboot deployments. Meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards for structured network cabling in commercial and enterprise facilities.

Installation Notes

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is required by code in plenum and enclosed-space runs where toxic fume emission must be minimized — verify local fire code requirements before substituting a riser or plenum-rated alternative. The Uniboot connector allows polarity reversal in the field without tools on most Panduit Uniboot designs; confirm this feature is present on the specific connector revision before counting on it in a high-count installation. Minimum bend radius must be respected during cable routing — exceeding it on multimode glass increases insertion loss and can cause intermittent link errors that are difficult to trace after the cable is dressed. Pre-terminated factory connectors are tested at the factory; re-termination in the field voids that tested performance.
