Panduit F92RPU1U1ONM002 Opti-Core OS2 LC Duplex Uniboot Fiber Patch Cord

The Panduit F92RPU1U1ONM002 delivers single-mode OS2 fiber interconnect in a space-efficient uniboot design, purpose-built for high-density data center and telecommunications room deployments where rack real estate and cable management matter. This 2-meter (6.5-foot) plenum-rated patch cord terminates with duplex LC uniboot connectors at both ends, providing a pull-boot removal mechanism and maintaining factory polarity in a form factor that consumes half the space of traditional dual-boot LC cords. Yellow jacketing ensures instant visual identification in polarity-sensitive installations. Data center architects, telecom installers, and enterprise network teams deploy Opti-Core patch cords to interconnect pre-terminated cassettes, connect equipment in main and horizontal distribution areas, and provide cross-connects in entrance facilities where TIA-568 compliance and optimized insertion loss are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber with optimized insertion loss for 10G/40G/100G applications
• LC Duplex uniboot connectors reduce cable management footprint by 50% vs. traditional dual-boot LC
• 2-meter length suits rack-to-rack and intra-cabinet connections in equipment distribution areas
• Plenum (OFNP) rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• Yellow cable color matches TIA-598-C polarity designation for OS2 single-mode fiber
• Pull-boot design enables tool-free connector removal even in congested patch panels
• Factory-terminated and tested to TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) for guaranteed performance
• RoHS compliant; meets ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.3 transmission standards

The uniboot architecture consolidates both fibers into a single molded connector body, eliminating the dual-boot cable separation that complicates high-density patching. Each uniboot connector features a pull-tab mechanism that releases the latch without tools—critical when patching behind populated equipment racks or in cable-dense telecom closets where finger access is limited. Panduit's optimized insertion loss specification ensures that each cord meets the tight loss budgets required for 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 links; this matters when your link budget allows for only 2-3 dB total channel loss and you're chaining multiple interconnects across a structured cabling system. The 9-micron core OS2 fiber supports transmission distances up to 10 km at 10 Gb/s and 40 km at 1 Gb/s, making it the correct choice for campus backbone links, storage area network extensions, and any application where future bandwidth scaling beyond 10G is anticipated.

Panduit specifies this cord for interconnect and cross-connect applications in entrance facilities (where carrier hand-offs terminate), telecommunications rooms (horizontal cross-connects), equipment distribution areas (top-of-rack to aggregation switch), and at-the-desk applications where fiber-to-the-desk is deployed. The plenum (OFNP) jacket rating is required by NEC Article 770 when cables are installed in ducts, plenums, or other spaces used for environmental air without being enclosed in metal conduit; this typically applies to above-ceiling pathways in commercial office buildings and data centers with raised-floor or overhead cable tray systems. The 2-meter length is a common choice for intra-rack patching (server NIC to top-of-rack switch) and adjacent-rack connections in hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. For longer runs, consider the 5 m, 10 m, or 15 m variants in the same Opti-Core family to maintain consistent performance and uniboot space savings across the installation.

This patch cord ships in single units, with a carton quantity of 10 for bulk deployments. It meets TIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) and TIA-604-10 (FOCIS-10) interface standards for LC connectors, ISO/IEC 11801 for balanced and optical cabling, and TIA/EIA-568-C.3 for optical fiber cabling components. RoHS compliance per Directive 2002/95/EC ensures it can be deployed in EU and globally regulated installations without material restrictions. For projects requiring uniboot polarity management, Panduit Opti-Core cords work seamlessly with Opti-Core cassettes and panels, allowing Method-B (straight-through) or Method-C (array) polarity schemes without field re-termination.
