Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM009 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit Opti-Core® FW2RPU1U1ONM009 is a 9-meter (29.5 ft) OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features LC Duplex Uniboot connectors on both ends, simplifying cable management with its push-pull tab and integrated strain relief. The OM5 multimode fiber supports a wider range of wavelengths, enabling higher bandwidth and future-proofing network infrastructure for applications like 40/100 GbE and beyond. Its Lime Green jacket signifies OM5 fiber, and the OFNP plenum rating ensures compliance for installation in air-handling spaces.

Compatibility

This Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM009 patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, or patch panels utilizing standard LC Duplex connectors. Its OM5 fiber type is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 systems but is optimized for applications requiring higher bandwidth and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) capabilities. It is suitable for use in enterprise backbone, data center interconnects, and high-density server rack deployments.

Installation Notes

The Uniboot design allows for easy polarity reversal without re-termination, and the integrated push-pull tab facilitates insertion and removal in dense environments. The 2mm jacket diameter provides a balance between flexibility and durability. Ensure the connectors are clean before installation to maintain optimal signal integrity. The OFNP rating makes it suitable for plenum spaces, but always verify local building codes and installation standards.
