Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM1.5 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RLU1U1ONM1.5 is a factory-terminated OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic cable assembly designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments. It utilizes LC Duplex connectors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, providing rapid deployment for structured cabling systems that demand performance and safety. This cable is specified for applications requiring pre-terminated infrastructure, minimizing on-site termination time and complexity.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with network equipment and patch panels featuring LC Duplex ports. It is compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with other compliant networking components. The OM5 fiber type supports up to 400Gbps Ethernet speeds over short distances, making it suitable for switch-to-switch or server-to-switch connections within racks or adjacent racks in enterprise and data center deployments.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of toxic smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, a critical consideration for enclosed spaces like data centers and telecom rooms. The Uniboot design allows for a single cable jacket to house both fibers, simplifying cable management by enabling push-pull insertion and removal of the duplex connector. Ensure proper bend radius management (typically 10x cable diameter for OM5) to maintain signal integrity.
