Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM005 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM005 is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) Opti-Core® fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and commercial environments. It features OM5 multimode fiber, providing enhanced performance for applications requiring higher bandwidth and future-proofing network infrastructure. The lime green, plenum-rated (OFNP) jacket ensures compliance with building codes for installation in air-handling spaces. This cord utilizes LC Duplex Uniboot connectors, which simplify cable management by allowing both fibers to run within a single jacket and connector housing, reducing port density and improving airflow. This specific model is suitable for interconnecting network devices, patch panels, and equipment where reliable, high-performance fiber connectivity is critical.

Compatibility

This Panduit Opti-Core® patch cord is designed for use within fiber-optic-systems infrastructure. It is compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, or fiber optic transceivers that utilize standard LC Duplex connectors. The OM5 fiber type ensures compatibility with 40GbE and 100GbE applications over short distances, as well as legacy 10GbE and 1GbE systems. Its plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and office buildings where OFNP-rated cabling is mandated.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot design simplifies installation by consolidating two fibers into a single cable and connector. The reversible polarity feature allows for easy switching between T568A and T568B configurations without re-terminating the cable. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The IEC 60332-1-2 standard compliance indicates its resistance to flame propagation. The 2mm cable diameter provides a balance between flexibility and durability for typical rack and cabinet installations.
