Panduit F91ER1NB1SNM025 OS2 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit F91ER1NB1SNM025 is an OS2 single-mode, simplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. Measuring 25 meters (82 feet), this cord features a 1.6mm yellow riser-rated (OFNR) jacket, suitable for vertical runs within building infrastructure where plenum-rated cables are not required. It connects two LC simplex ports, with one end terminating in an LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector to minimize back reflection, crucial for high-bandwidth applications and sensitive network equipment.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any equipment utilizing LC Simplex connectors. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, media converters, and optical transceivers that accept standard LC Simplex single-mode connections. The specific LC/APC connector on one end is ideal for applications requiring low optical return loss, such as FTTx deployments, GPON networks, and high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbps and beyond. Ensure your connected equipment supports LC/APC termination for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The 1.6mm cable diameter with its yellow OFNR jacket allows for flexible routing within cable management systems. The LC/APC connector requires careful handling to avoid dust and scratches on the polished end-face, which can degrade signal quality. Standard practice dictates cleaning the connector end-face before each connection. The patch cord's 25-meter length provides ample reach for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel runs in data centers and telecommunications rooms.
