Panduit FW2U1U1ONM047 OM5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable - FW2RPU1U1ONM047

Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM047 OM5 LC Duplex Plenum Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM047 is a QuickNet™ pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable designed for pre-planned, rapid-deployment fiber infrastructure in data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. At 47 meters (154.2 ft), this cable covers inter-rack and zone-to-zone backbone distances that standard short-run patch cords cannot reach. OM5 wideband multimode (50/125µm) extends usable bandwidth beyond OM4 by supporting short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) — meaning you can push 40G and 100G over longer distances with fewer fiber strands, a real advantage when planning high-density spine-leaf or top-of-rack architectures. The LC Uniboot connector on one end consolidates the duplex pair into a single compact housing, cutting panel port density loss in half compared to standard duplex LC — worth considering in high-density 1U patch panels. The OFNP plenum flammability rating satisfies fire code requirements for cables routed through air-handling spaces without requiring conduit, reducing installation overhead in commercial buildings.

Compatibility

Designed to terminate in any standard LC duplex port — compatible with OM5/OM4/OM3-rated SFP+ and QSFP transceivers from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, HPE, and Dell that accept LC connectors. Matches Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated cassette systems and standard 1U/2U fiber patch panels with LC duplex or LC uniboot ports. Meets fiber optic cable interoperability requirements under TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B — all three of the primary structured cabling standards governing data center networking and enterprise horizontal/backbone runs. Backward-compatible with OM3 and OM4 infrastructure; OM5's lime-green jacket color (per TIA-568.3-D) distinguishes it visually from legacy OM3 (aqua) in the rack. For shorter intra-rack runs or non-plenum environments, consider a standard fiber optic patch cable from the same Panduit fiber optic QuickNet™ line to match your specific length and rating requirements.

Installation Notes

Uniboot LC connectors require a uniboot-compatible adapter or panel port on the receiving end — verify panel compatibility before ordering at this length. The 47m run places this cable firmly in backbone or inter-closet territory; confirm available slack and bend radius management in the tray before pulling. OFNP rating applies to the cable jacket — connector boots are not separately rated; all terminations must remain within code-compliant enclosures. Factory pre-terminated — no field polishing or splicing required, preserving insertion loss specifications at both ends.
