Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM007 Duplex LC-LC Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable

The Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM007 is a 7-meter duplex LC to LC singlemode fiber optic patch cable engineered for high-bandwidth backbone connections in security installations, data centers, and enterprise network infrastructure. Built on OS2-grade 9/125μm singlemode fiber with precision-polished LC connectors on both ends, this cable delivers sub-0.3dB insertion loss across the 1310nm and 1550nm transmission windows — critical for maintaining signal integrity over long fiber runs between NVR/server racks, switch uplinks, and building-to-building interconnects. The 3.0mm yellow OFNR-rated jacket provides immediate visual identification in mixed-mode fiber plants while meeting plenum-equivalent fire safety requirements for in-wall and above-ceiling pathway deployment.

Key Features

Duplex LC-to-LC connectors with ceramic ferrules and pre-polished UPC endfaces for repeatable low-loss connections

OS2 singlemode 9/125μm fiber supports 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 10km+ per link

Factory-tested insertion loss ≤0.30dB typical, return loss ≥50dB per TIA-568 Category OS2 standards

3.0mm round OFNR yellow jacket — flame-retardant, crush-resistant, and color-coded for instant singlemode identification

7-meter (23-foot) length ideal for intra-rack connections, cross-aisle patching, or equipment-room-to-MDF links

Panduit fiber patch cables are built to tighter manufacturing tolerances than generic cordage — each connector ferrule is inspected under 400× magnification to verify endface geometry (radius of curvature, apex offset, fiber height) falls within the upper quartile of IEC 61300-3-35 limits, ensuring consistent performance even after hundreds of mate/demate cycles. The aramid-yarn strength member terminates directly to the LC connector boot, preventing fiber pistoning under tensile load and maintaining the 1.5mm boot-to-ferrule offset that protects the fragile glass core during handling. Security integrators use this cable to interconnect PoE fiber switches (like Axis T8504-E) with edge aggregation switches in equipment closets, or to backhaul IP camera traffic from remote buildings where copper distance limits would force additional active electronics — the 7-meter length fits typical rack-to-rack and rack-to-wall-mount scenarios without excess slack that invites kinking or improper bend radius.

The OS2 fiber specification guarantees <0.4dB/km attenuation at 1310nm and <0.3dB/km at 1550nm, making this cable fully compatible with BiDi SFP transceivers (10GBase-BX, 25GBase-BX) that transmit and receive on different wavelengths over a single fiber strand — critical for doubling port density in SFP-constrained surveillance switches. The yellow jacket follows TIA-598-C color coding (yellow = singlemode), preventing accidental cross-patching with multimode OM3/OM4 infrastructure that would cause catastrophic link loss. OFNR flame rating meets NEC Article 770 for general-purpose indoor use including risers; while not plenum-rated, the jacket's limited-smoke formulation is acceptable in most security-equipment spaces and telecom rooms where HVAC pathways are isolated.

This cable ships with removable dust caps on all four connector endfaces and passes Panduit's pull-test protocol (10 lbf for 10 seconds with zero performance degradation) — install confidence for permanent backbone links that won't be re-terminated in the field. For integrators running Axis, Hanwha, or Bosch fiber-capable cameras in campus deployments, or connecting distributed NVRs across multi-building sites, the FW2ELQ1Q1NNM007 eliminates the signal-integrity guesswork that comes with no-name patch cords pulled from bulk spools.
