Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM050 LC-LC Duplex Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable

The Panduit FW2ELQ1Q1NNM050 delivers 50 meters of OS2 single-mode fiber connectivity in a duplex LC-to-LC configuration built for long-haul IP camera backbones, inter-building links, and fiber-to-the-edge deployments where distance and bandwidth matter. This cable supports 10G, 40G, and 100G transmission over single-mode fiber with insertion loss under 0.25dB, making it the workhorse interconnect for campus surveillance networks, data center cross-connects, and PoE++ switch uplinks that need to span parking structures, perimeter fencing, or multi-story facilities without active components. Yellow low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacketing identifies it instantly as OS2 single-mode in dense patch fields, and the duplex LC connectors snap cleanly into SFP+/QSFP28 modules, media converters, and fiber patch panels without the fumbling that comes from misaligned or overtorqued terminations.

Key Features

50-meter OS2 9/125µm single-mode duplex cable for 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, 100GBASE-LR4 transmission

LC-to-LC duplex connectors with ceramic ferrules, factory-terminated and tested to ≤0.25dB insertion loss

Yellow LSZH jacket for instant single-mode identification and plenum-equivalent low-smoke compliance

Supports transmission distances up to 10km at 10G, 10km at 40G, and 10km at 100G over OS2 fiber

Pull-resistant strain relief boots and bend-radius protection prevent fiber core damage during dress and cable management

Single-mode fiber is the backbone of any multi-building security installation, and Panduit's factory terminations eliminate the field-polish variables that kill link budgets. Each connector is individually tested for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry before it ships, so you're not troubleshooting 0.5dB penalties from dirty or scratched ferrules when a 400-meter camera run won't link. The 50-meter length bridges typical floor-to-floor risers, IDF-to-MDF runs, or building-to-outbuilding spans without mid-span splices, and the duplex LC form factor fits the SFP+ modules in Cisco, HPE, Ubiquiti, and Hikvision managed switches without adapter cassettes. Yellow LSZH jacketing meets IEC 60332-1 and 60754 for low-smoke, low-halogen performance in occupied spaces, and the color-coding prevents the LC-to-SC, LC-to-ST, or multimode-to-single-mode cross-connects that waste half a day of troubleshooting.

The 9/125µm core supports 10GBASE-LR to 10 kilometers, 40GBASE-LR4 to 10 kilometers, and 100GBASE-LR4 to 10 kilometers per IEEE 802.3ae/ba/bm, so a single cable infrastructure handles today's 1G camera uplinks and tomorrow's 10G NVR-to-NVR replication without a forklift upgrade. Ceramic ferrules maintain <0.1µm core concentricity and <50nm surface finish per IEC 61300-3-35, which translates to repeatable sub-0.2dB insertion loss even after 500+ mate/demate cycles in patch panels that get reworked every expansion. Strain-relief boots are sized to prevent kinking below the 20× cable-diameter bend radius that fractures the glass core, and the duplex clip locks both fibers together so you're not chasing loose A/B legs during adds-moves-changes in a 48-port fiber panel.

This cable is built for integrators running fiber to PTZ domes on light poles, linking building MDFs across courtyards, or feeding 10G uplinks from access switches to core distribution—jobs where 50 meters of clean single-mode saves a splice enclosure, a fusion splicer callout, or a middle-of-the-run media converter that adds failure points and power dependencies. Panduit's manufacturing traceability and TIA-568-compliant performance specs make it the drop-in choice for projects with contractual link-budget requirements or warranty coverage that doesn't tolerate field-term variability.
