Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM7.5 OM5 2-Fiber LC Uniboot Plenum Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM7.5 is a pre-terminated OM5 wideband multimode fiber patch cable from the Panduit QuickNet™ product line, built for data centers, telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment distribution areas where rapid deployment of fiber optic cabling is a priority. The 2-fiber, 50/125µm OM5 construction supports wideband multimode transmission — meaning it is optimized for shortwave division multiplexing (SWDM) applications that demand higher bandwidth density over multimode runs, not just legacy LED-based links. The LC Uniboot connector format combines both fibers into a single, compact housing, cutting port-to-port density issues in half compared to standard duplex LC boots — a direct benefit in high-density patch panels and switch faceplates where space is measured in rack units. The plenum (OFNP) jacket rating makes it code-compliant for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, removing a common obstruction in ceiling plenum cable runs. This cable meets TIA-568.3-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI/TIA-942-B standards, covering both enterprise and data center structured cabling requirements.

Compatibility

Designed for use with LC-port network infrastructure including high-density fiber switches, patch panels, and transceivers that accept LC duplex connectors. The OM5 fiber type is backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3 equipment — existing LC-port switches and transceivers accepting standard 50/125µm multimode fiber will accept this cable, though OM5's SWDM bandwidth advantage is only realized with SWDM4-capable transceivers. The LC Uniboot form factor is specifically suited for high-density fiber patch panels and modular cassette systems, including Panduit QuickNet™ cassette-based infrastructure, where pull-tab uniboot connectors simplify polarity management and cable extraction in congested environments. OFNP plenum rating satisfies NEC Article 770 requirements for plenum-rated cable without conduit in air-handling spaces.

Installation Notes

The LC Uniboot connector's polarity is field-reversible on most uniboot designs — confirm polarity orientation (Type A, B, or C per TIA-568.3-D) before patching into a cassette system to avoid cross-connect errors. OM5 is lime-green jacketed per TIA-598 color coding standards; verify your facility's color management policy before deploying alongside OM3 (aqua) or OM4 (erika violet) runs to prevent misidentification. OFNP rating applies only to the cable jacket — ensure patch panel and outlet hardware also carries the required plenum ratings for full code compliance in air-handling installations.
