Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM018 OS2 Single-Mode LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord - 18m

The Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM018 is an 18-meter (59-foot) duplex single-mode fiber patch cord engineered for high-performance datacenter and enterprise network interconnects. Built on OS2 9/125μm single-mode fiber with a 2mm LSZH jacket, this Opti-Core™ patch cord delivers optimized insertion loss for low-latency, long-reach links between switches, servers, and fiber distribution systems. LC Uniboot duplex connectors on both ends provide high port density and simplified polarity management in crowded patch panels, while the pull-boot design accelerates moves, adds, and changes without risking connector damage.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125μm) supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet over distances up to 10+ kilometers
• LC Uniboot duplex connectors with pull-boot design for high-density racks and simplified cable management
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets plenum and indoor fire safety codes
• Optimized insertion loss delivers consistent, low-loss performance across the link
• 2mm cable diameter balances flexibility and durability for patch panel and rack routing
• 18-meter (59-foot) length ideal for intra-rack, cross-rack, and telecom room interconnects
• Yellow jacket color follows TIA-598-C color coding for single-mode fiber
• Complies with TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3), TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10), and RoHS

Single-mode OS2 fiber is the backbone of modern datacenter and campus networks, supporting 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 transmission over multi-kilometer distances. Unlike multimode fiber, which is limited to 300-550 meters for 10G applications, OS2 enables link spans up to 10 kilometers or more, making it the standard choice for building-to-building interconnects, datacenter core switches, and long-haul storage networks. The F92RLU1U1ONM018's optimized insertion loss—factory-tested and certified—ensures you maintain link budget headroom even on longer runs or after multiple connector matings.

The LC Uniboot duplex connector design is a critical advantage in high-density environments. Unlike traditional duplex LC patch cords with two separate 1.6mm or 2mm legs, the Uniboot form factor combines both transmit and receive fibers into a single, narrow boot. This cuts the cable footprint in half at the patch panel, allowing twice as many connections in the same rack space. The integrated pull-boot tab lets you disengage the connector with one hand, reducing the risk of fiber endface contamination or physical damage during repatching. For installers managing 48-port or 96-port fiber panels in cramped racks, this translates to faster MAC work and fewer service calls for dirty connectors.

LSZH jacket construction is non-negotiable for indoor datacenter and telecom room installations. In the event of fire, PVC-jacketed cables release hydrochloric acid and dense smoke, which can destroy sensitive electronics and obscure egress routes. LSZH jackets emit minimal smoke and zero halogenated acids, meeting IEC 60332-1 and IEC 61034 flame and smoke density requirements. Many building codes—especially in Europe and increasingly in North American datacenters—mandate LSZH cabling in occupied spaces and under raised floors. The F92RLU1U1ONM018's LSZH compliance ensures you pass inspection without costly rework, while the 2mm jacket diameter provides the mechanical protection needed for horizontal cable trays and vertical riser pathways.

This 18-meter length is purpose-built for intra-datacenter and telecom room applications—long enough to span adjacent rows or reach a distant MDF/IDF panel, yet short enough to avoid excess coil buildup in cable managers. Panduit Opti-Core fiber patch cords ship with protective dust caps on all connectors and are individually tested for insertion loss and return loss. Each cord includes a serialized test report, giving you traceability for warranty claims and performance audits. The product meets or exceeds TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 Category OS2 specifications, and all materials comply with RoHS and REACH restrictions on hazardous substances, ensuring compatibility with green building certifications and extended manufacturer warranty coverage.
