Panduit F91ER3NB1SNM030 OS2 1-Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit F91ER3NB1SNM030 is a 30-meter OS2 single-mode, simplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It features a 1.6mm diameter cable with a Riser (OFNR) flammability rating, suitable for vertical runs within commercial buildings where fire safety codes are a concern. This cord terminates with a SC simplex connector on one end and an LC simplex APC connector on the other, providing a standard interface for connecting network equipment.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, patch panels, or fiber optic transceivers utilizing SC simplex and LC simplex APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors. The OS2 single-mode fiber type ensures high bandwidth and low signal loss for data rates up to 10 Gbps over extended distances, making it suitable for connecting switches, routers, and servers in enterprise and data center environments. The APC connector finish minimizes back reflection, critical for high-speed optical networking.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated Riser (OFNR), meaning it is intended for use in vertical pathways within a building and must be installed according to local building codes and fire safety regulations. The 1.6mm cable diameter allows for manageable bend radii, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends which can exceed the minimum bend radius of 25mm for OS2 fiber to prevent signal degradation. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent performance issues.
