Panduit F91EL3NB1SNM005 OS2 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit F91EL3NB1SNM005 is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) OS2 single-mode simplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure. It features LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing, meeting EN 60332-1-2 flammability standards, making it suitable for installations where safety and minimal smoke emission are critical. This cable utilizes standard polarity and standard insertion loss, ensuring consistent performance for connecting network devices.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for use within fiber optic systems and is compatible with standard SC simplex connectors on one end and LC simplex APC connectors on the other. It is suitable for connecting active network equipment like switches, routers, and transceivers that utilize these specific connector types. The OS2 single-mode fiber type is ideal for longer distances and higher bandwidth applications typical in enterprise and carrier networks.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 1.6mm diameter jacket, offering a balance between flexibility and durability. The LSZH jacketing requires proper ventilation considerations during installation, as it is designed to emit less smoke and fewer toxic gases in the event of a fire. Ensure connectors are kept clean prior to termination to prevent signal degradation. The SC connector is keyed for correct orientation, while the LC connector's APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish minimizes back reflection, crucial for high-speed data links.
