Panduit FW2U1ONM035 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable - FW2RPU1U1ONM035

Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM035 OM5 LC Duplex Uniboot Plenum Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM035 is a 35-meter (114.8 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic patch cable from Panduit's QuickNet™ line, built for pre-terminated structured cabling deployments in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. The LC uniboot-to-LC duplex configuration means a single compact housing at one end routes two fibers — reducing bend radius congestion in high-density patch panels where space is at a premium. OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) fiber supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and is backward-compatible with OM4/OM3 equipment, so it integrates without stranding legacy infrastructure. At 35m, this cable suits inter-rack or cross-zone runs typical in structured network infrastructure deployments. The OFNP plenum rating satisfies NEC requirements for air-handling spaces — no conduit required in plenum ceilings, which simplifies routing in occupied commercial facilities.

Compatibility

Mates directly with any LC duplex interface: standard SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers (10GbE, 25GbE), LC-terminated patch panels, fiber distribution units, and active equipment using LC receptacles. OM5 fiber is fully backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 transceivers and switch ports — deploy in existing Cisco, Arista, Juniper, or HPE switching environments without protocol changes. Compliant with data center cabling standards TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, so it satisfies structured cabling certification requirements across Tier I–IV data center designs. The uniboot LC end is compatible with standard LC panels and adapter plates; verify your patch panel accepts uniboot plug geometry if polarity reversal capability is a requirement.

Installation Notes

OFNP plenum rating qualifies this cable for installation in air-handling plenums per NEC Article 770 without additional conduit — confirm the specific AHJ interpretation before installation. The uniboot LC connector consolidates two fibers into a single-boot profile; plan for the slightly wider footprint versus standard duplex LC when calculating panel port density. At 114.8 ft, verify slack management and bend radius compliance (minimum bend radius per TIA-568.3-D) in overhead trays before pulling. Pre-terminated from the factory — no field termination, no polishing, ready to deploy on arrival.
