Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM018 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM018 is an 18-meter (59.1 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. Its uniboot construction simplifies cable management by consolidating two fibers into a single jacket with push-pull tab connectors, reducing bulk and installation time. This cord is plenum-rated (OFNP) for use in air-handling spaces, meeting stringent safety requirements.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment utilizing LC Duplex connectors and requiring OM5 fiber performance. It supports TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability with compliant switches, transceivers, and patch panels within data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. The OM5 fiber type supports applications like 40GbE and 100GbE, providing future-proofing for high-speed networking needs.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design features a push-pull tab for easy insertion and removal from LC ports, minimizing the need for specialized tools. The 2-fiber, 50/125µm OM5 construction is suitable for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications. Its plenum (OFNP) rating dictates installation in air-return plenums as per building codes. Ensure port compatibility with LC Duplex connectors before installation.
