Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM017 17-Meter Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable

The Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM017 is a factory-terminated LC-to-LC single-mode fiber patch cable engineered for OS2 9/125 μm fiber applications requiring precision optical performance over 17-meter spans. Built for security system backbones, IDF-to-IDF links, and high-speed IP camera networks, this simplex assembly delivers insertion loss under 0.35 dB and return loss exceeding 50 dB when installed within bend-radius limits. Integrators running fiber between patch panels, media converters, or PoE++ switches in multi-floor installations rely on this cable to maintain link budgets on 1G/10G Ethernet and 4K/8K video transport.

Key Features

LC duplex connectors with ceramic ferrules, factory-polished to <0.35 dB insertion loss per TIA-568.3-D

OS2 single-mode fiber rated for 10/40/100GBASE transmission, 9 μm core diameter

17-meter engineered length eliminates field termination and polarity errors on intermediate runs

Yellow LSZH jacket (3.0 mm diameter) meets IEC 60332-1 flame rating for plenum-equivalent airspace routing

Duplex zipcord construction maintains polarity through cable trays and vertical pathways

Pull-proof strain relief boots protect connector-to-cable transition during installation pulls up to 100N

Each connector is factory-terminated using Panduit's FOCIS-compliant LC interface, which seats into standard LC duplex adapters with audible click confirmation and 500-cycle mating durability. The ceramic ferrule is polished to physical-contact (PC) geometry, ensuring fiber end-faces make metal-free contact for back-reflection under -50 dB — critical when driving long-haul links to remote IP cameras or fiber-fed access switches in warehouses and campuses. The 9/125 μm fiber core supports wavelengths from 1310 nm to 1550 nm with <0.4 dB/km attenuation, allowing integrators to provision 10GBASE-LR links across the full 17-meter span without optical budget concerns. Bend-insensitive fiber construction tolerates 7.5 mm bend radius (10× cable diameter) without macrobend loss spikes, so the cable routes cleanly through crowded D-rings and 1U horizontal managers without signal degradation.

The 17-meter factory length is cut for precision fit in raised-floor data centers, ceiling-grid pathways between IDFs, and riser conduit runs where off-the-shelf 15 m or 20 m lengths leave slack loops or fall short. Security integrators use this cable to interconnect SFP+ transceivers in managed PoE switches and fiber media converters at IP camera head-ends, maintaining duplex polarity from patch panel A-position to switch port 1 without field flips. The yellow LSZH jacket is color-coded to TIA-598-C single-mode standards, preventing accidental cross-connection with OM3/OM4 multimode links during MAC (move/add/change) events. Pulling grip is engineered for 22 lbf (100N) tensile load, so the cable survives J-hook installation and vertical drops through fire-rated sleeves without connector pull-off. Deploy this cable in environments requiring TIA-568.3-D channel compliance, UL 60950-1 safety certification, or Telcordia GR-326-CORE mechanical qualification — the assembly is batch-tested and serialized for full traceability on mission-critical security and AV backbone installations.
