Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM035 Duplex LC-LC OM3 Multimode Fiber Patch Cable, 35 Meters
The Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM035 is a 35-meter duplex LC-to-LC multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth 10G/40G/100G network infrastructure in surveillance control rooms, datacenters, and enterprise security installations. Built to OM3 specifications with laser-optimized 50/125μm fiber and aqua OFNR-rated jacket, this assembly delivers consistent 10GBASE-SR transmission over distances up to 300 meters at 850nm, making it the standard backbone for IP camera aggregation switches, NVR uplinks, and fiber-to-desktop runs in modern access control and video management systems.
Key Features
- Duplex LC-to-LC connectors with ceramic ferrules, factory-polished to ≤0.35dB insertion loss
- OM3 laser-optimized 50/125μm multimode fiber rated for 10GBASE-SR/40GBASE-SR4/100GBASE-SR10
- 35-meter (114.8 ft) length ideal for inter-rack connections, raised-floor datacenter runs, or security ops center switch-to-patch-panel links
- Aqua OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) PVC jacket meets NEC Article 770 for vertical riser applications without conduit
- 2.0mm duplex zipcord construction with strain-relief boots for field deployment and frequent reseating
- RoHS compliant, TAA-compliant components for federal/GSA security installations
Panduit's factory-terminated fiber assemblies eliminate the variability and labor cost of field terminations. Each FW2ELQ1Q1NNM035 cable ships with test reports documenting insertion loss, return loss, and fiber geometry per TIA-568.3-D standards. The LC duplex interface is the de facto standard for modern SFP/SFP+ transceivers used in enterprise switching—Cisco 10GBASE-SR modules, Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G optics, and Aruba 10G SFP+ all mate directly to this connector form factor. OM3 fiber's 2000 MHz·km modal bandwidth at 850nm supports 10Gb/s transmission to 300 meters and 40Gb/s to 100 meters, making this 35-meter run well within performance margins for loss-budget headroom when connecting PoE+ aggregation switches in IDF closets to fiber distribution panels in MDFs or security operation center equipment racks. The aqua jacket color-code immediately identifies OM3 grade during moves/adds/changes, preventing costly cross-patching errors with OM1/OM2 legacy fiber that would limit link speed.
This 35-meter length fits the 90-meter horizontal-channel allocation in TIA-568 structured cabling when used as backbone between floors in 3–5 story facilities, or as the primary run in raised-floor datacenters where cabinet rows are spaced 25–30 meters apart. Security integrators deploying centralized video management servers in climate-controlled MDF spaces rely on these assemblies to extend 10GBASE-SR uplinks from edge PoE switches mounted in IDF rooms across multiple floors—each camera subnet aggregates to a dedicated fiber pair, isolating broadcast domains and preserving deterministic latency for real-time recording. The OFNR riser rating permits installation in vertical shafts and plenum-adjacent pathways without metallic conduit, reducing material cost and simplifying compliance with NEC 770.154 fire停 propagation limits. For retrofit projects in existing buildings, the 2.0mm zipcord jacket threads easily through congested cable trays and tight-radius J-hooks without kinking, and the pull-tab strain boots protect the LC connector during installation and prevent fiber bend-radius violations at the 7.5mm minimum bend spec under tension.
Panduit's fiber assemblies are manufactured in ISO 9001 facilities with automated polishing to eliminate hand-work variability, and each duplex pair is continuity-tested and insertion-loss verified before shipment. The LC connector's push-pull latch mechanism provides audible-click mating confirmation and withstands 500+ insertion cycles per TIA-604-10-D endface durability testing, critical for installations where patch cords are moved seasonally during security system upgrades or switch replacements. OM3 fiber remains the balanced choice for surveillance installations requiring 10G performance today with a migration path to 40G in the future—significantly lower cost than OM4/OM5 singlemode, with bandwidth sufficient for the 2–5 year refresh cycles typical in enterprise security infrastructure. Integrators can cross-reference this cable against Panduit's modular cassette systems, fiber enclosures, and cable management accessories to build fully Panduit-certified channels eligible for 25-year application assurance warranties when installed per Panduit design guidelines and registered through the Cabling Assurance Program.
