Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM026 OM5 2F 26M LC Uniboot Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM026 is a 26-meter (85.3 ft) OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC Duplex connectors on one end and an LC Uniboot connector on the other, designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room environments where rapid deployment and efficient cable management are critical. This cable utilizes OM5 fiber, enabling support for emerging applications like 400GbE and beyond, while maintaining backward compatibility with existing 10GbE and 40GbE infrastructure. The plenum (OFNP) rating ensures compliance with building codes for use in air-handling spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with Panduit QuickNet™ fiber infrastructure systems and any equipment requiring standard LC Duplex and LC Uniboot connectors. It is compatible with standard OM5 fiber transceivers and network equipment supporting LC connectivity, including switches, routers, and servers deployed in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities. Its construction adheres to TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring broad interoperability.

Installation Notes

The LC Uniboot connector simplifies deployment by using a single cable jacket for both fibers, reducing cable congestion and improving airflow in high-density racks. Ensure proper bend radius management (minimum 20mm for OM5 fiber) during installation to maintain signal integrity. The plenum (OFNP) rating dictates its use in air-handling spaces; verify local building codes for specific installation requirements. The 26-meter length is suitable for moderate distances between equipment racks or patch panels.
