Panduit F92ERANLNSNM007 OS2 SC APC/LC Fiber Cord 7m

Panduit F92ERANLNSNM007 OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92ERANLNSNM007 Opti-Core fiber patch cord bridges SC APC and duplex LC connections across 7 meters with OS2 single-mode fiber rated for vertical riser installations. Single-mode OS2 (9/125µm) supports distances beyond 10 km at 10G and scales to 40G/100G over shorter runs, making this cord suitable for datacenter spine-leaf architectures, telecom central-office jumpers, and campus fiber backbones where you need reach and future bandwidth headroom. The SC APC connector uses an 8-degree angled polish that steers back-reflection below -60 dB—critical when feeding analog video transmission systems, DWDM optical transport, or any link budget constrained by cumulative return loss. Duplex LC on the opposite end delivers twice the port density of SC in the same footprint, a practical advantage in crowded patch panels and SFP+ cages.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125µm) rated for 10G+ transmission over multi-kilometer spans
• SC APC connector with angled physical contact for -60 dB+ return loss suppression
• Duplex LC connector provides high-density termination for SFP/SFP+/QSFP transceivers
• OFNR (vertical riser) flame rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for riser pathways
• 1.6 mm cable diameter allows tighter bend radius and higher conduit fill in congested runs
• Yellow jacketing follows TIA-598-C single-mode color convention for field identification
• Standard polarity (Type A) eliminates the need for crossover adapters in point-to-point links
• 7 meter (23 ft) length handles typical rack-to-rack and intra-row datacenter jumpers
• Factory-terminated and tested for guaranteed insertion loss performance out of the carton

Single-mode OS2 fiber offers 9µm core diameter and zero-dispersion wavelength near 1310 nm, enabling multi-kilometer reach at 1G/10G/40G/100G without modal dispersion penalties that plague multimode links beyond 300 meters. You'll deploy OS2 when connecting floors in a high-rise, linking buildings on a campus, or feeding long-haul telecom circuits where regeneration costs outweigh the incremental price of single-mode transceivers. The SC APC connector's angled endface prevents Fresnel reflection from coupling back into the fiber core—your analog CATV headend, PON OLT, or DWDM mux will maintain carrier-to-noise ratio and bit-error-rate targets that flat PC polish cannot guarantee. Duplex LC occupies half the panel space of duplex SC while maintaining sub-0.3 dB insertion loss, a geometry win when you're filling a 1U panel with 24 or 48 ports and every millimeter counts.

OFNR jacketing meets NEC 770.154(A) for vertical risers—the pathway between floors in commercial buildings—where flame propagation must self-extinguish within the cable bundle. This rating sits between plenum (OFNP) and general-purpose (OFN), appropriate when the cable runs in conduit or cable tray outside the air-handling space but still traverses fire-stop penetrations. The 1.6 mm outer diameter allows tighter minimum bend radius (typically 10× diameter = 16 mm) compared to 3 mm distribution cable, reducing stress at patch-panel egress points and SFP cage entries where space is constrained. Yellow jacketing follows TIA-598-C Annex A convention for OS2 single-mode identification, preventing accidental cross-connection with orange OM1/OM2 or aqua OM3/OM4 multimode circuits during adds-moves-changes. Standard polarity (transmit A-side pin 1 to receive B-side pin 1) aligns with IEEE 802.3 and TIA-568 duplex wiring, so you can patch straight through without flipping strands or inserting polarity modules.

Factory termination eliminates field fusion-splicing labor and the consumable cost of mechanical splice kits; Panduit's controlled pull-through process and automated inspection deliver repeatable insertion loss below 0.3 dB typical and return loss exceeding 50 dB for UPC, 60 dB for APC. The 7 meter length bridges typical top-of-rack to end-of-row distances in 42U datacenter racks or connects distribution frames in telecom central offices where cross-connects exceed 5 meters but stay under 10 meters. Carton quantity of 10 cords simplifies project procurement when you're building out a new row or refreshing legacy SC infrastructure to LC-based 10G optics—order one carton per two racks and carry spares for day-two MACs. This Opti-Core patch cord fits installations demanding low back-reflection (analog video transport, long-haul DWDM), extended reach (campus backbone, inter-building), or high-density termination (packed SFP arrays), where field-terminated connectors and multimode alternatives introduce unacceptable insertion-loss variability or modal bandwidth limits.
