Panduit F91EL1NANSNM001 OS2 Lc Simplex Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT F91EL1NANSNM001 is a single-mode OS2 fiber optic patch cord terminated with LC simplex connectors on each end. Built with a 1.6mm diameter LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, this cord is designed for structured cabling installations where fire safety and low toxic emissions are required by code. The polished PC (Physical Contact) end-face on each connector minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss, making it suitable for high-density data center and enterprise network runs. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and data center cabling crews are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is intended for use in single-mode fiber optic networks operating over OS2 glass fiber. Typical applications include backbone and horizontal runs between patch panels, switches, routers, and media converters in enterprise data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. The LSZH jacket makes it a preferred choice for plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where local fire codes restrict PVC jacketing. The LC simplex form factor is common in high-density panels and compact SFP-based network equipment.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation transmission
• LC simplex connectors on both ends for compatibility with high-density equipment
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas output in fire conditions
• PC polished end-face finish minimizes insertion loss and back-reflection
• Single-fiber construction supports simplex (one-way) optical signal paths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cord for single-mode LC simplex fiber optic systems and equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Always inspect connector end-faces with a fiber optic inspection scope before mating, and clean end-faces using approved fiber cleaning tools. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cord during routing. Power down active transceivers or laser sources before handling or connecting fiber to prevent eye injury from invisible infrared emissions.
