Panduit F92ERB1SNSNM002 2F OS2 LC/APC-SC 2m Patch Cord

Panduit F92ERB1SNSNM002 Opti-Core OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERB1SNSNM002 is a 2-meter OS2 single-mode fiber patch cord with LC/APC and SC terminations, engineered for low-loss interconnects in data center, enterprise backbone, and riser applications. Part of Panduit's Opti-Core™ platform, this 2-fiber duplex jumper combines 1.6mm zipcord construction with OFNR (riser) flame rating, delivering the tight bend radius and code compliance you need for vertical cable routing in commercial buildings. The LC/APC connector's 8° angle polish reduces return loss to -60 dB or better—critical for high-speed coherent optics and 100G+ links sensitive to back reflection. Standard-polarity pinout and yellow jacketing follow TIA-598-C conventions, so installers can deploy these jumpers into any structured cabling system without custom labeling or adapter plates.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber supports 10G/40G/100G over distances up to 10 km (multimode-limited networks) or 40+ km with compatible transceiver optics
• LC/APC (angled physical contact) connector on one end minimizes back reflection for DWDM, coherent detection, and analog RF-over-fiber links
• SC connector (push-pull latching) on opposite end for legacy ODF panels, media converters, and first-generation 1G/10G switch uplinks
• 1.6mm duplex zipcord cable fits crowded patch panel dress and tight-radius routing (15mm bend radius under load)
• OFNR riser rating (UL 1666) allows installation in vertical shafts and non-plenum riser spaces without conduit
• Yellow PVC jacket color-codes single-mode fiber per industry standard, preventing cross-connection with multimode (orange/aqua) infrastructure
• 2-meter (6.5 ft) length suits rack-to-rack interconnects, equipment-to-patch-panel jumpers, and short inter-building links
• Factory-terminated and tested to standard insertion loss specifications—no field polishing or cleaving required

Single-mode OS2 fiber delivers 9 µm core diameter and 125 µm cladding, yielding modal bandwidth effectively unlimited for enterprise reach—10GBASE-LR transceivers commonly achieve 10 km over OS2, while 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules reach 10 km and ER4 variants extend to 40 km. The LC/APC connector's angled endface (8° polish) directs reflected light into the cladding rather than back toward the source laser, dropping return loss from the -14 dB typical of PC (physical contact) polish to -60 dB or lower. This matters for coherent 100G/400G optics, DWDM mux/demux modules, and any RF-over-fiber system where reflected signal creates beat interference. The SC connector on the opposite end uses a push-pull latching mechanism—easier to release in high-density panels than LC's tab latch—and remains the dominant interface on older switches, media converters, and telecom ODF frames installed before 2010. Duplex LC-to-SC topology lets you bridge modern small-form-factor switches (LC) to legacy infrastructure (SC) without adapter panels that add loss and failure points.

The 1.6mm zipcord construction pairs two 900 µm tight-buffered fibers in a flat parallel jacket, yielding a cable you can route through 19-inch panel finger ducts, zip-tie to vertical J-hooks, and dress around tight corners without exceeding the 15 mm bend radius limit. OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) flame rating meets UL 1666 vertical flame test and NEC Article 770 requirements for riser spaces—install these cords in telecom closet-to-equipment room vertical shafts, IDF-to-MDF risers, and floor-to-floor pathways without EMT conduit. Yellow jacket color follows TIA-598-C single-mode convention, so field techs immediately distinguish these OS2 jumpers from orange OM1/OM2 or aqua OM3/OM4 multimode cables. The 2-meter length is the sweet spot for rack-adjacent connections: patch panel to switch uplink, storage array to SAN fabric, or media converter to edge router. Standard polarity (fiber A transmit on LC pin 1 matches SC receive) eliminates the need for crossover jumpers or polarity-flipping adapters in point-to-point links. Factory cleave and epoxy cure ensure insertion loss meets or beats 0.3 dB typical—no field re-termination labor, and no risk of contamination from job-site polishing.

Ships in single-unit packaging; carton quantity 10 for volume orders. Meets EN 60332-1-2 vertical flame propagation standard for European installations. UPC 61305681282. For LC/APC to LC/APC jumpers (both ends angled), see Panduit's F92 series with AA-suffix models. For OM3/OM4 multimode equivalents (data center 40G/100G SR optics), specify Panduit's FX2 or FX7 product lines with identical connector and length configurations—orange jacket for OM1/OM2, aqua for OM3/OM4.
