Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNF004 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNF004 is a 2-fiber, OM5 multimode fiber optic patch cord assembly. It is designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications where reliable, high-speed data transmission is critical. The 1.6mm cable diameter with OFNR riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs within racks and conduits, ensuring clean cable management and efficient use of space. This specific model facilitates direct connections between network equipment, such as switches, servers, and patch panels, within a structured cabling system.

Compatibility

This Panduit OM5 patch cord is compatible with all standard LC-style fiber optic connectors and transceivers operating within the OM5 specification. It is suitable for use with 40GbE (40GBASE-SR4) and 100GbE (100GBASE-SR4) applications utilizing short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) technology, as well as legacy 10GbE (10GBASE-SR) and 1GbE (1GBASE-SR) networks. It integrates seamlessly into existing Panduit cabling infrastructure and is interoperable with equipment from major network hardware vendors.

Installation Notes

The minimum bend radius for this 1.6mm cable is 25mm (1 inch) when not under tension, and 30mm (1.2 inches) when under tension. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation to prevent signal loss or cable damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal optical performance. The OFNR rating indicates suitability for use in riser pathways but not in plenum spaces.
