Panduit OM5 2F 2MM PC Ofnp LC Uniboot/lc Unibea - FW2RPU1U1ONM049

Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM049 OM5 Plenum LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM049 is a 49-meter (160.8 ft), 2-fiber OM5 wideband multimode patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet™ line built for pre-terminated structured cabling in data centers, telecom rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas. It ships factory-terminated with LC duplex uniboot connectors on both ends — a single-boot housing that cuts cable tray fill roughly in half compared to standard duplex boots, directly addressing congestion in high-density fiber optic cable runs. The OFNP plenum rating makes it code-compliant for air-handling spaces without conduit, eliminating an installation step in most commercial builds. OM5 wideband multimode fiber (50/125µm) supports SWDM4 (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing), enabling 40G and 100G transmission over a single cable pair — a significant cost advantage over deploying parallel OM4 runs in bandwidth-constrained pathways.

Compatibility

Designed to terminate in any LC duplex port on switches, transceivers, patch panels, or active equipment. Compatible with OM5, OM4, OM3, and OM2 multimode infrastructure — OM5 fiber is backward-compatible with installed multimode plant, though SWDM4 speed benefits require OM5 throughout the link. Meets structured cabling requirements under TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B, making it directly applicable to Tier III/IV data center builds governed by TIA-942-B. Integrates into Panduit QuickNet™ pre-terminated cassette and trunk systems but is also compatible with third-party LC-port panels and enclosures. For high-density network switch front-panel cabling, the uniboot LC form factor reduces bend radius stress and simplifies slack management in shallow-depth patch fields.

Installation Notes

49 meters is a long patch — confirm the run length against your floor plan before ordering; this cable is not field-trimable without retermination. OFNP plenum rating applies to open air-handling spaces; OFNR riser or LSZH variants are required where local code mandates them instead. The uniboot connector's polarity is factory-set; verify key orientation matches your panel's polarity scheme (Method A, B, or C per TIA-568.3-D) before pulling the cable. Handle LC ferrules with care during routing — no tools are required for connection, but connector end-face cleanliness is critical at 40G+ link speeds.
