Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM8.5 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit FW2RPU1U1ONM8.5 is a factory-terminated OM5 Wideband Multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments. It utilizes a UNIBOOT connector style, minimizing cable congestion, and features LC Duplex connectors on both ends. The OM5 fiber supports higher bandwidth applications and future-proofing of network infrastructure. This cable is suitable for environments requiring plenum-rated (OFNP) construction for fire safety compliance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to connect to any LC Duplex fiber optic port. It is compatible with Panduit's QuickNet™ system infrastructure and other network equipment utilizing standard LC Duplex connectors, including switches, transceivers (SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and patch panels. Its OM5 fiber type ensures compatibility with 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps Ethernet standards, as well as future higher-speed protocols.

Installation Notes

The UNIBOOT design allows for easy polarity reversal without needing to re-terminate connectors, simplifying installation and management in high-density racks. The plenum (OFNP) rating mandates installation within air-handling spaces, adhering to building codes. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation.
