Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM8.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1NNM8.5 is a factory-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-density network infrastructure. It utilizes LC duplex connectors on both ends, enabling rapid deployment and simplifying installation in environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas where pre-terminated solutions are critical for efficiency. The cable’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures compliance with stringent safety regulations in plenum spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to interface with standard LC duplex ports on network switches, servers, transceivers, and patch panels. It is suitable for use with any OM5-compatible equipment, ensuring backward compatibility with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure while providing the enhanced performance characteristics of OM5 for applications requiring higher bandwidth and shorter wavelength transmission.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot design simplifies cable management by consolidating the two fibers into a single duplex connector housing, reducing cable bulk and improving airflow. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The LSZH jacket is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, but avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity and prevent fiber damage.
