Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM028 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM028 is a 2-fiber, OM5, 1.6mm patch cord designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications requiring reliable optical connectivity. Its OM5 rating supports extended wavelength capabilities, enabling higher bandwidth and improved spectral efficiency for modern network infrastructure. This specific assembly is built with push-pull connectors for secure, tool-less termination in environments where rapid deployment and dependable connections are critical. The FW2ERQ1Q1NNM028 model is engineered for performance and ease of use in structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This Panduit OM5 patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, and fiber optic transceivers that utilize LC-style push-pull connectors and support OM5 fiber specifications. It is suitable for use with 40GbE and 100GbE applications, including QSFP+ and QSFP28 interfaces, as well as future higher-speed Ethernet standards utilizing Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). Ensure your equipment ports and transceivers are rated for LC connectors and OM5 fiber performance to achieve optimal results.

Installation Notes

The push-pull connector design simplifies installation and removal, requiring no specialized tools for connection. Ensure the connector end-faces are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation or damage. The 1.6mm cable diameter offers a balance between flexibility and durability for typical rack and cabinet installations. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by Panduit's general fiber optic cabling guidelines.
