Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM039 OM5 2-Fiber LC Uniboot Plenum Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM039 is a 39-meter (128 ft), 2-fiber OM5 wideband multimode patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet pre-terminated fiber line. It ships factory-terminated with LC Uniboot connectors on both ends — one connector houses both fibers in a single housing, cutting port density requirements in half at the patch panel face. This cable is sized for longer in-building horizontal runs: 39m reaches across most data center rows or between adjacent telecommunications rooms without a splice. The OFNP plenum jacket satisfies the fire-rating requirement for fiber optic cables routed through air-handling ceiling and raised-floor plenums, eliminating the need for conduit in most enterprise builds. Compliance with TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B means it meets the structural cabling standards audited in data center and enterprise network certifications.

Compatibility

OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm, lime-green jacket per TIA-568.3-D) is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 infrastructure — you can connect this cable into existing OM4 patch panels and transceivers without signal failure, though you will operate at OM4 performance levels on that segment. Full OM5 performance is realized when paired with SWDM4 (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transceivers designed for 40G or 100G over 2 fibers. LC Uniboot connectors mate with any standard LC duplex adapter or transceiver port; the uniboot housing is polarity-reversible without tools on most implementations, which matters when aligning Tx/Rx pairs across a run. This cable targets structured network infrastructure deployments in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas per its rated application scope.

Installation Notes

At 39m, verify the total channel loss budget before deployment — OM5 multimode supports distances well beyond this length for most 10G/25G applications, but every mated connector pair adds insertion loss. The OFNP rating applies to open-air plenum routing; if the run passes through non-plenum spaces, confirm the full path rating meets local code. LC Uniboot connectors typically require a uniboot-specific extraction tool for removal from high-density panels — confirm tooling availability before installation in populated 1U patch fields. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during routing, particularly at cable managers and pathway entry points.
