Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM046 OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM046 is a 46-meter (150.9 ft) OM5 wideband multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It features LC duplex connectors on both ends, utilizing a uniboot design to consolidate two fibers into a single cable jacket, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter. The OFNP plenum rating ensures compliance for in-ceiling installations where fire safety is critical. This cable facilitates rapid deployment of pre-terminated fiber infrastructure, supporting applications requiring high bandwidth and reliable connectivity.

Compatibility

This Panduit QuickNet™ cable is designed to connect equipment with standard LC duplex fiber optic ports. It is compatible with any network switch, server, or optical transceiver utilizing LC duplex connectors, including those found in enterprise data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment distribution areas. The OM5 fiber type supports higher bandwidth applications, including 40GbE and 100GbE, over shorter distances compared to OM3/OM4, making it suitable for demanding network backbones and storage area networks.

Installation Notes

The uniboot design consolidates two fibers into a single cable, requiring careful management to avoid kinks or excessive bending, which could impact performance. Ensure the LC duplex connectors are properly seated into their respective ports. The OFNP rating signifies that the cable jacket material is suitable for air-handling spaces, meeting strict flammability and smoke-emission standards required in many commercial installations.

Standards

This cable meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, ensuring interoperability and performance within compliant network infrastructures.
