Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM047 Fiber Optic Cable Assembly

The Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1NNM047 is a pre-terminated duplex fiber optic cable assembly engineered for high-density data center and enterprise network installations where reliable multi-mode connectivity is mission-critical. This factory-terminated assembly eliminates field splicing labor and testing overhead while delivering consistent insertion loss performance across your fiber infrastructure. Built to Panduit's commercial-grade standards, the assembly uses precision-polished connectors and bend-insensitive fiber that maintains signal integrity through tight routing paths in high-density rack environments and overhead cable trays.

Key Features

Factory-terminated duplex fiber assembly with pre-tested insertion loss and return loss specifications

Multi-mode fiber construction optimized for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE backbone applications up to 300 meters

Precision-polished connectors ensure repeatable sub-0.3dB insertion loss for link budget predictability

Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket meets plenum and riser fire code requirements for in-building distribution

Pull-proof strain relief boots protect fiber at termination points during installation and maintenance access

47-foot reach supports cross-aisle connections in deep data centers and campus backbone tie-ins between IDFs

Panduit's factory termination process uses automated polishing and inspection equipment that delivers tighter tolerance control than field-terminated connectors—critical when you're provisioning 40GbE or 100GbE links where a single high-loss connector can drop your link below error-free threshold. The assembly ships with individual test reports documenting insertion loss at 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths, so you can validate compliance with TIA-568 Channel loss budgets before the first packet flows. The duplex configuration maintains polarity through color-coded connectors and boots, reducing cross-connection errors during MACs in live production environments.

The cable's bend-insensitive fiber design tolerates routing through congested pathways without the macrobend attenuation spikes that plague standard G.651 fiber when bent below minimum radius. This matters in modern deployments where you're threading cables through vertical cable managers, around sharp cabinet edges, or through densely packed overhead J-hooks where maintaining a 1.5-inch bend radius isn't always practical. The LSZH jacket passes UL 1666 riser and NFPA 262 plenum tests, qualifying the assembly for unrestricted use in return-air spaces without conduit—saving installation labor on vertical riser runs and eliminating the cost and accessibility problems of metallic raceway systems.

This assembly is purpose-built for integrators deploying high-speed Ethernet fabrics in enterprise data centers, surveillance NVR aggregation layers, and AV-over-IP distribution backbones where multi-mode fiber's 300-meter OM3/OM4 reach provides the distance you need without the transceiver cost premium of single-mode optics. The 47-foot length bridges typical cross-row distances in co-location facilities and supports backbone connections between access layer switches and core aggregation points in multi-floor installations. Panduit's commercial warranty and Chicago-based technical support provide the accountability your RFP compliance matrix demands when you're specifying infrastructure that must stay in service for a 15-year depreciation cycle.
