Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM029 OM5 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM029 is a 2-fiber OM5 multimode fiber optic patch cord. It features a 1.6mm diameter cable with PC (Physical Contact) polish on its connectors, designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating indicates it is suitable for vertical runs within a building's riser path, ensuring compliance with safety standards for in-building installations. This cable assembly is critical for connecting network devices like switches, servers, and transceivers where high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer is required, such as in data centers or enterprise networks.

Compatibility

This Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM029 cable assembly is designed for use with any network equipment utilizing LC-type fiber optic connectors. It is compatible with OM5-rated transceivers and network interface cards, supporting applications requiring high bandwidth and short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM). It functions across various network architectures, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand, provided the endpoints support OM5 performance characteristics.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter with a riser (OFNR) rating dictates its installation path. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or cable damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal optical performance. The PC polish on the connectors is standard for multimode applications, providing a good balance between performance and ease of termination.
