Panduit F62ELLNLNSNM048 OM1 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F62ELLNLNSNM048 is an OM1 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling and data network installations. Built with a 1.6mm diameter cable jacket and LC duplex connectors on both ends, it carries two fibers in a single assembly with a physical contact (PC) polish on the ferrules. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for plenum-adjacent or enclosed-space installations where smoke and halogen off-gassing is a concern. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this cable to interconnect switches, patch panels, transceivers, and fiber distribution frames.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and backbone fiber runs within commercial and enterprise network environments. It suits applications running 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, and similar legacy OM1 multimode protocols. The duplex LC configuration handles simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. At 48 inches, it is sized for short equipment-room or rack-to-rack connections, making it a practical choice for high-density patching in telecommunications rooms and data centers.

Key Features

• OM1 62.5 micron multimode fiber supports standard legacy multimode network protocols
• Duplex LC connectors on both ends for simultaneous bidirectional transmission
• 1.6mm diameter jacket provides flexibility in tight cable management spaces
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish minimizes back-reflection at connection points
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas output in enclosed or low-ventilation spaces
• 48-inch length suited for short patch runs inside equipment racks and frames

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard interconnect patch cable for OM1 multimode fiber installations using LC duplex port equipment such as switches, media converters, and fiber patch panels.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians and licensed data communications installers typically handle fiber patch cable termination and patching. Before routing or connecting this cable, confirm all active equipment transceivers are powered down or ports are disabled to avoid exposure to infrared laser light. Inspect LC ferrule end-faces with a fiber inspection scope prior to insertion and clean with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for LSZH jacket use in specific plenum or riser-rated pathways.
