Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM017 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM017 is a 17-meter (55.8 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density network backbones. Its uniboot construction reduces cable bulk, simplifying management in critical infrastructure environments like data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities where rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber is essential for efficiency.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes LC Duplex connectors, making it compatible with standard LC ports found on network switches, servers, and optical transceivers. The OM5 fiber type supports 40GbE and 100GbE applications over shorter distances and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure. It meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant network equipment.

Installation Notes

The OFNP (Plenum) flammability rating is critical for installations within air-handling spaces, meeting building codes for safety. The uniboot design allows for easy polarity reversal without needing to re-terminate the cable, streamlining installation and maintenance in tight spaces. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation.
