Panduit F92ERANLNSNM002 2m OS2 SC APC/LC Patch Cord

Panduit F92ERANLNSNM002 OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERANLNSNM002 Opti-Core patch cord delivers reliable single-mode connectivity for datacenter backbone runs, surveillance NVR uplinks, and high-density fiber distribution where SC APC to duplex LC is the termination standard. This 2-meter OS2 jumper features 1.6mm cable construction with OFNR riser rating, making it suitable for vertical pathways in commercial builds. Standard polarity and factory-terminated connectors eliminate field splicing on short interconnects between patch panels, media converters, and PoE fiber switches in access-control or IP camera installations.

Key Features

• OS2 9/125µm single-mode fiber for long-reach, low-attenuation runs
• SC APC (angled physical contact) connector on one end minimizes back reflection to less than -60 dB
• Duplex LC connector on opposite end fits standard SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules
• 1.6mm cable diameter balances flexibility with durability in high-density rack environments
• OFNR (riser) flammability rating meets vertical-run requirements per NEC Article 770
• Yellow jacket indicates single-mode fiber per TIA-598-C color coding
• 2-meter (6.5 ft) length suits patch-panel-to-switch or switch-to-media-converter spans
• Standard polarity (key-up to key-up on duplex LC) works with TIA-568 A/B infrastructure
• Factory-terminated connectors ship with protective caps and documented insertion loss

The SC APC connector uses an 8-degree end-face angle that directs reflected light into the cladding rather than back toward the source—critical for passive optical networks, CWDM/DWDM systems, and RF-over-fiber links where return loss below -60 dB is required. Unlike flat-polished SC/UPC or SC/PC connectors, APC terminations prevent signal degradation from Fresnel reflection in high-bitrate or analog video applications. The duplex LC end is keyed for standard polarity (transmit on position A, receive on position B), matching the port layout on Cisco, Juniper, and Ubiquiti SFP+ modules used in surveillance-network aggregation switches. This asymmetric connector pairing is common in access-layer designs: SC APC at the patch panel (where angled connectors reduce dirt accumulation and back-reflection) and LC at the active equipment (where the small-form-factor duplex footprint maximizes port density on 1U switches). The 1.6mm cable uses a tight-buffered construction with aramid-yarn strength members and a low-smoke PVC jacket rated OFNR per UL 1666—you can run this cord vertically in riser spaces without conduit, provided the pathway is not a plenum return-air zone. For ceiling or above-tile runs, specify OFNP-rated cordage instead.

At 2 meters, this jumper fits the typical distance from a wall-mounted fiber enclosure to a PoE+ switch in an IDF closet, or from a rack-mounted patch panel to media converters feeding copper-based PTZ camera controllers. Datacenter technicians use 1–3 meter OS2 cords for top-of-rack switch uplinks to spine switches, or for storage-area-network connections where 10GBase-LR or 25GBase-LR transceivers require single-mode fiber. In surveillance integrations, the F92ERANLNSNM002 works as the final-hop link between a fiber backbone (terminated in SC connectors at the wall box) and an NVR or PoE switch with SFP+ LC cages. The yellow jacket follows TIA-598-C single-mode color convention, preventing accidental cross-connection with OM3/OM4 multimode jumpers during rack rewiring. Panduit Opti-Core line ships each cord in a protective sleeve with end caps and a serialized test report documenting insertion loss at 1310 nm and 1550 nm—retain that documentation for warranty claims or customer handoff records. If you are pulling cables through congested pathways, the 1.6mm diameter (versus 2.0mm or 3.0mm) reduces bundle cross-section and eases routing in horizontal cable managers, though it offers less abrasion resistance than ruggedized cordage.

Compliance with EN 60332-1-2 (IEC 60332-1) single-cable vertical flame test ensures the jacket self-extinguishes and limits flame spread in the event of ignition—a requirement for installations in European Union jurisdictions or projects referencing IEC standards. The OFNR rating satisfies NEC 770.154(A) for general-purpose fiber in non-plenum vertical shafts, making this cord code-compliant for riser conduits, elevator shafts, and IDF-to-IDF vertical stacks in mid-rise commercial buildings. For integrators deploying SC-to-LC conversion at aggregation points in hospitality, healthcare, or multi-tenant office builds, the F92ERANLNSNM002 eliminates the labor and failure risk of field termination while delivering factory-certified insertion loss within ±0.3 dB of published specification.
