Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM009 OM5 Multimode LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord - 9m Plenum
The Panduit FW2RPU1U1NNM009 delivers wideband multimode OM5 fiber in a space-efficient LC Duplex Uniboot form factor for datacenter and enterprise backbones demanding 100G/400G headroom. This 9-meter plenum-rated jumper combines 50-micron OM5 fiber with UPC-polished uniboot connectors and a lime-green OFNP jacket, meeting short-wave wavelength-division multiplexing requirements for current 40G/100G links and future 200G/400G migrations without re-cabling overhead. Designed for high-density patch panels and structured cabling systems where every rack unit counts.
Key Features
- OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports SWDM (short-wavelength division multiplexing) for 100G/400G over existing MMF infrastructure
- LC Duplex Uniboot connector design cuts patch-panel footprint in half versus standard duplex LC while simplifying polarity management
- 50-micron core diameter optimized for VCSEL transceivers in 40G/100G SR4 and 200G/400G SR8 applications
- Plenum-rated OFNP jacket (IEC 60332-1-2 compliant) for air-handling space installation without conduit
- Lime-green jacket provides instant visual OM5 identification in mixed-fiber environments
- 9-meter (29.5 ft) length suits intra-rack, adjacent-rack, and cross-aisle datacenter runs
- UPC polish on both connectors delivers <0.35 dB insertion loss for high link budget
- Panduit Opti-Core construction with reinforced pull-tab boot for field serviceability
OM5 fiber extends the bandwidth-distance envelope of traditional OM4 multimode by adding short-wavelength division multiplexing capability across 850–953 nm, letting four or eight wavelengths share a single duplex pair. This matters when your 100G-SR4 links today need to scale to 200G-SR4 or 400G-SR8 tomorrow without forklift upgrades—OM5 supports 400GBASE-SR8 to 100 meters and 100GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters, versus OM4's 100-meter ceiling for both rates. For security integrators running 10G/25G storage or NVR backhaul today, OM5 future-proofs against the shift to 100G aggregation switches and 40G uplinks without re-pulling fiber through plenum spaces. The 50-micron core maintains full backward compatibility with existing OM3/OM4 VCSEL optics, so you can deploy OM5 as backbone insurance and activate SWDM transceivers only when needed.
The LC Duplex Uniboot connector consolidates both fibers into a single-body termination roughly the width of one standard LC duplex, effectively doubling usable port density on high-count panels. A fingerlift tab on the retention clip enables one-hand insertion and release even in fully populated 144-port cassettes, and the integrated polarity-flip mechanism (slide the boot, rotate the connector body 180°) eliminates the need for Type-A/Type-B cable inventories—field techs can correct polarity at the patch panel without re-terminating. UPC polish keeps insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss above 50 dB, preserving link margin for transceivers operating at the edge of their power budget. The 2 mm round cable jacket routes cleanly through vertical cable managers and horizontal troughs, maintaining the 20× bend-radius minimum (40 mm) under load without kinking.
Plenum rating (OFNP per NEC Article 770) allows direct installation in ceiling return-air spaces, elevator shafts, and HVAC plenums without metal conduit or fire-stop putty, cutting labor and material cost on vertical campus risers and horizontals spanning multiple fire zones. The lime-green jacket color-codes OM5 per TIA-598-D Annex H, preventing accidental cross-patching with OM3 (aqua) or OM4 (violet) fibers during moves-adds-changes and simplifying as-built documentation for AHJs during occupancy inspections. Panduit's Opti-Core cable construction uses aramid-yarn strength members and a crush-resistant boot with pull-tab strain relief, so the cable survives the 50 N pulling tension and 20-cycle flex testing required by TIA-568.3-D without fiber-core damage or connector loosening. This patch cord is factory-terminated and 100% insertion-loss tested, eliminating the variability and rework overhead of field terminations on uniboot connectors.
