Panduit FW2U1U1ONM013 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable - FW2RPU1U1ONM013

Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM013 OM5 LC Duplex Plenum Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM013 is a 13-meter (42.7 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable from the QuickNet™ pre-terminated system — built for structured cabling deployments where rapid, field-splice-free installation matters. OM5 50/125µm wideband multimode fiber supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), making this cable forward-compatible with 40G and 100G transceivers that leverage multiple wavelengths over duplex fiber — a practical advantage when today's 10G runs need a clear upgrade path. The OFNP plenum jacket meets NEC requirements for installation in air-handling spaces, so you can run it through raised floors, above drop ceilings, and through HVAC plenums without conduit or additional fire-stopping. LC duplex connectors on both ends terminate into standard LC ports with the density expected in modern patch panels and switch faceplates.

Compatibility

Connects to any standard LC duplex port on fiber optic patch panels, switches, media converters, SFP transceivers, and fiber-capable network equipment. Specifically suited for Panduit QuickNet modular patching systems using LC adapter panels, but works with any vendor's LC-terminated infrastructure — Corning, Leviton, Belden, Legrand, CommScope, and others. OM5 is backward-compatible with OM3 and OM4 equipment at those standards' rated distances; pairing with OM3/OM4 links degrades the link to the lower fiber class. Compliant with structured cabling standards TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — meaning it qualifies for data center cabling documentation under all three frameworks without additional testing. At 13 meters, this length fits intra-rack and short inter-rack horizontal runs in data center and telecom room environments.

Installation Notes

OFNP plenum rating applies to the jacket only — confirm the full link path meets local AHJ requirements if mixing riser and plenum segments. Pre-terminated QuickNet assemblies are factory-tested; field termination or re-termination voids the assembly's insertion loss specification. Store on a spool or in a slack loop to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius. LC duplex connectors are keyed — confirm port polarity (Type A vs. Type B) before insertion to avoid a crossed-pair fault on duplex links.
