Panduit FW2U1U1ONM032 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable - FW2RPU1U1ONM032

Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM032 OM5 LC Duplex Plenum Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM032 is a 32-meter (105 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet pre-terminated infrastructure line. It uses LC uniboot connectors on both ends — the uniboot form factor consolidates both fibers into a single, smaller-diameter boot, cutting bend radius and easing cable management in high-density trays and patch panels. At 105 feet, this reach suits horizontal runs between wiring closets and equipment rooms, or longer backbone segments within a floor. The OFNP plenum jacket rating means it can be installed in air-handling ceiling spaces and raised-floor plenums without requiring conduit — a direct code requirement in most commercial builds.

Compatibility

Designed for OM5 (50/125µm wideband multimode) infrastructure, FW2RPU1U1ONM032 is backward-compatible with OM3 and OM4 multimode equipment — useful in mixed-generation installations where not every switch or transceiver has been refreshed. LC duplex connectivity is the dominant interface on 10G, 25G, and 40G SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Panduit, and most other data center switching platforms. The OM5 fiber grade specifically supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and parallel single-mode emulation strategies used in 40G/100G BiDi transceivers, extending usable wavelength range from 850nm to 953nm. Compliant with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — the three standards most referenced in data center and enterprise structured cabling specifications and third-party audits. Pairs naturally with Panduit QuickNet fiber patch panels and cassette modules for end-to-end pre-terminated channel builds. For shorter horizontal runs or top-of-rack connections, shorter OM5 patch cable variants in the same QuickNet family offer the same compliance and connector profile.

Installation Notes

The OFNP plenum jacket satisfies NEC Article 770 requirements for plenum-rated optical fiber nonconductive cables — confirm your local AHJ accepts OFNP before substituting riser (OFNR) alternatives. Uniboot LC connectors maintain polarity reversal capability in the field; verify polarity scheme (TIA-568 Method A/B or MPO-based) against your installed base before terminating. Keep bend radius above the minimum specified for 50/125µm cable to avoid attenuation increases on long runs.
