Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM028 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM028 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM028 is a 28-meter (91.9 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC Duplex connectors on both ends and carries a Plenum (OFNP) flammability rating, making it suitable for environments requiring stringent fire safety standards. This cable is engineered for rapid deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where efficient pre-terminated fiber infrastructure is critical for network build-outs.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to interface with standard LC Duplex ports found on network switches, transceivers (SFPs, QSFPs), patch panels, and other fiber optic equipment. Its OM5 fiber type is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 but optimized for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications, supporting higher bandwidth and future-proofing network infrastructure for 40GbE and 100GbE links over MPO/MTP trunk infrastructure when used with appropriate SWDM transceivers.

Installation Notes

The uniboot/unibea design facilitates easier handling and management in dense rack environments by consolidating two fibers into a single cable jacket with push-pull tab connectors. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The Plenum rating indicates it can be run in air-handling spaces. Adherence to TIA-568.3-D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards ensures interoperability with compliant equipment.
