Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM005 OM5 Fiber Patch Cord
The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM005 is a 5-meter OM5 multimode fiber patch cord with LC duplex uniboot connectors, engineered for 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet applications in datacenters and enterprise backbones. OM5 fiber extends the reach of 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 to 150 meters and supports short-wave wavelength-division multiplexing (SWDM) for future 400G upgrades over existing 50-micron infrastructure. The lime green OFNP-rated jacket meets TIA-598 color coding standards and fire code requirements for plenum spaces, while the 2mm duplex uniboot design cuts cable-management footprint in half compared to traditional dual-LC assemblies.
Key Features
- OM5 50-micron multimode fiber supports 40/100G to 150m, 400G-ready via SWDM
- LC duplex uniboot connectors with tool-free polarity reversal reduce panel congestion
- Plenum-rated OFNP jacket for air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770
- Lime green jacket per TIA-598 OM5 identification standard
- 5-meter length for rack-to-rack or intra-row datacenter links
- Panduit Opti-Core quality with UPC polish for <0.35 dB insertion loss
OM5 multimode fiber (ISO/IEC 11801 designation) adds 953nm wavelength optimization to OM4's existing performance envelope, enabling short-wave wavelength-division multiplexing without replacing backbone cabling. For security integrators running 10/25G NVR uplinks today, OM5 preserves a migration path to 40/100G aggregation switches as camera counts and resolutions climb. The 50-micron core maintains backward compatibility with OM3/OM4 active equipment while future-proofing the physical layer for IEEE 400GBASE-SR4.2 and beyond. In spine-leaf datacenter fabrics, OM5's extended reach lets you collapse aggregation tiers without exceeding the 150-meter OM4 limit that forces costly parallel optics or singlemode conversions.
The LC duplex uniboot connector consolidates two fibers into a single 2mm round boot, cutting the width of duplex LC assemblies by 50 percent at high-density panels. Polarity reversal happens in seconds without re-termination—rotate the internal key 180 degrees to swap transmit and receive fibers when rolling from A-to-B to A-to-A patching schemes. Uniboot designs eliminate the duplex clip that snags on adjacent cables during moves/adds/changes, and the round form factor routes cleanly through vertical cable managers and tight bend-radius trays. Each connector is factory-terminated with ultra-physical-contact (UPC) polish to minimize return loss below -50 dB, critical for 40/100G optics that penalize back-reflection with bit errors and link flaps.
The plenum-rated OFNP jacket meets NFPA 262 flame-propagation limits and NEC 770.113(B) requirements for installation above suspended ceilings and in HVAC return plenums without conduit. Lime green color coding per TIA-598 instantly distinguishes OM5 from aqua OM3, magenta OM4, and yellow singlemode cables during audits and troubleshooting, reducing the risk of plugging 100G optics into OM3 links that can't sustain the distance. Panduit's Opti-Core manufacturing process ensures <0.35 dB insertion loss per mated pair and <-50 dB return loss across the 850–953nm SWDM window, backed by manufacturer warranty that covers both the cable assembly and the termination quality.
