Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM5.5 OS2 Duplex LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92RLU1U1ONM5.5 is a 5.5-meter duplex single-mode fiber patch cord engineered for high-density datacenter and enterprise network installations. Built on OS2 9/125µm fiber with LC Uniboot connectors at both ends, this cable delivers the space efficiency and polarity management that matters when you're filling edge racks or cross-connecting distribution frames. The 2.0mm LSZH jacket meets plenum fire-code requirements while keeping bundle diameter tight enough for congested pathways, and Panduit's factory-optimized insertion loss ensures you're not wasting optical budget on a patch cord.

Key Features

OS2 single-mode fiber rated for 10G/40G/100G transmission over distances up to 10km+

LC Uniboot connectors with integrated pull-boot design — half the footprint of duplex LC, toolless polarity reversal

2.0mm cable diameter enables higher port density in cable managers and tight bend-radius runs

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket complies with IEC 60332-1 and meets NEC plenum requirements for enclosed spaces

Factory-optimized insertion loss specification ensures consistent link budget across every cord

5.5m (18 ft) length bridges cross-connect gaps in mid-size server rooms or row-to-row runs in datacenters

Duplex configuration supports bidirectional 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 optics

OS2 single-mode fiber is the workhorse for any link longer than 300 meters or carrying 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. The 9/125µm core supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers at 10G and 40 kilometers at 1G when paired with appropriate optics, making this patch cord suitable for campus backbone links, inter-building fiber runs, and datacenter spine-to-leaf topologies. LC Uniboot connectors reduce panel congestion by 50% compared to traditional duplex LC — instead of two separate 1.25mm ferrules side-by-side, the Uniboot housing integrates both fibers into a single compact body with a shared pull-boot. Polarity reversal is toolless: press the tab, rotate the connector 180°, and you've swapped A/B without re-terminating. Panduit's factory insertion-loss optimization process tests every cord under controlled conditions and ships only units meeting the target IL spec, so you're not gambling on whether a given cord will pass your link budget.

The 2.0mm cable diameter is purpose-built for high-density installations. Standard duplex fiber cords run 3.0mm; at 2.0mm you gain 33% more space in vertical cable managers, horizontal troughs, and patch-panel slack loops. LSZH jacketing is mandatory in European datacenters under CPR (Construction Products Regulation) and increasingly specified in North American builds for any enclosed space — server rooms, riser shafts, plenum ceilings — where PVC combustion byproducts would concentrate during a fire. This cord meets IEC 60332-1 flame propagation limits and produces minimal smoke and zero halogenated acid gases under burn conditions. The 5.5-meter length handles typical cross-connect distances in enterprise telecom rooms (wall-mount patch panel to rack-mount switch), row-to-row runs in datacenter hot-aisle layouts, and equipment-to-distribution-point links in co-location cages. It's long enough to route cleanly through overhead cable trays and down vertical managers, short enough to avoid excessive slack coiling.

Panduit fiber patch cords ship with individually serialized test reports traceable to factory QA records, and every LC Uniboot connector is inspected under 200× magnification for endface geometry before leaving the facility. When you're building a 100GBASE-LR4 link across a campus or stitching together a 400G QSFP-DD breakout in a spine switch, the last place you want to burn insertion-loss budget is on a patch cord — this cable puts that budget back into your system margin.
