Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM017 Opti-Core OS2 LC Uniboot Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM017 delivers single-mode fiber connectivity for enterprise datacenters, telecom rooms, and structured cabling deployments. This 17-meter duplex patch cord features LC Uniboot connectors on both ends, OS2 9/125µm fiber, and optimized insertion loss for low-latency, high-bandwidth links. The 2.0 mm LSZH jacket meets strict fire-safety requirements while the Uniboot design reduces cable congestion in dense patch panels. Part of Panduit's Opti-Core line, this cord is factory-terminated and tested to meet ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568-C.3, and FOCIS standards—providing pull-and-go reliability for 10G, 40G, and 100G network infrastructures.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125µm) for long-distance, high-bandwidth runs up to 10 km at 10 Gbps
• LC Uniboot duplex connectors save 50% panel space vs. standard LC duplex boots
• Optimized insertion loss delivers consistent performance across all wavelengths (1310 nm, 1550 nm)
• 2.0 mm LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in fire scenarios
• 17-meter (55.77 ft) length ideal for cross-connect and horizontal distribution applications
• Yellow jacket for OS2 single-mode identification per TIA-598-D color coding
• Factory-terminated and tested to FOCIS-3 and FOCIS-10 specifications
• RoHS compliant and meets TIA/EIA-568-C.3 performance requirements

Single-mode OS2 fiber provides 9µm core diameter and supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers at 10 Gbps, making this patch cord suitable for campus backbone, enterprise datacenter, and inter-building links. The LC Uniboot connector consolidates the traditional duplex LC footprint into a single, narrow boot—reducing the connector width by half and allowing up to twice the port density on patch panels and switches. Panduit's optimized insertion loss specification ensures that each fiber consistently achieves low attenuation across 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, critical for 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 applications. The push-pull boot design enables one-handed insertion and removal, and the polarity can be reversed in the field by rotating the connector body 180 degrees—simplifying A-to-B or transmit-receive swaps during troubleshooting or reconfiguration. The 2.0 mm cable diameter strikes a balance between flexibility and durability, allowing tight-radius bends in crowded cable trays while maintaining the minimum bend radius required by TIA-568-C.3 (10× cable diameter dynamic, 15× static).

This 17-meter length is commonly deployed in telecom rooms for horizontal cross-connects between floor switches and backbone fiber panels, in equipment rooms linking patch panels to SAN switches or storage arrays, and in datacenters connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation-layer uplinks. The LSZH jacket is essential in enclosed spaces—data centers, raised-floor environments, and above-ceiling pathways—where PVC smoke and hydrogen chloride gas pose life-safety and equipment-corrosion risks. Yellow jacket coloring immediately identifies OS2 single-mode fiber in mixed-mode environments, reducing the chance of accidentally connecting multimode transceivers to single-mode infrastructure. The LC Uniboot form factor is particularly valuable in 1U and 2U switches with high port counts (24-port, 48-port SFP/SFP+ arrays), where traditional LC duplex boots create cable management congestion and block airflow. Installers can pre-label the boot with a Brother P-touch or Brady label for circuit identification, and the factory-terminated connectors eliminate the time and risk associated with field termination—no epoxy, no polishing, no end-face inspection failures.

Panduit's Opti-Core patch cords are manufactured in ISO 9001-certified facilities and ship with test reports documenting insertion loss and return loss per connector. The F92RLU1U1ONM017 meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 Category OF-300 and TIA-568-C.3 single-mode performance requirements, and all materials comply with EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC for restricted substances. Every cord is individually bagged with a hang tag listing length, connector type, and fiber grade—simplifying inventory management and ensuring the right cable is pulled for each link. For integrators installing Cisco, Arista, Juniper, or HPE switching fabrics, this patch cord provides the physical-layer reliability that keeps SFP+ and QSFP+ optics operating within their insertion-loss budgets.
