Panduit F923LANSNSNM044 OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT F923LANSNSNM044 is a single-mode OS2 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for low-loss optical connections in structured cabling installations. Built with a 3mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, this cable is suited for environments where fire safety and low toxic emissions are code requirements. It terminates with an SC APC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, delivering precise physical contact alignment for minimal return loss. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cable to connect fiber distribution frames, switches, and active equipment in backbone and horizontal runs.

This patch cable is appropriate for commercial and enterprise network environments where OS2 single-mode fiber infrastructure is in place. The LSZH jacket material makes it a practical choice for plenum-adjacent spaces, data centers, and European or code-restricted installations that prohibit PVC jacketing. The duplex 2-fiber configuration supports full-duplex optical transmission, commonly used with standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers in structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation optical transmission
• Duplex 2-fiber configuration supports full-duplex data links
• 3mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire
• SC APC to SC termination for precise physical contact and low return loss
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on SC end minimizes back-reflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or installation-grade patch cable for OS2 single-mode fiber networks utilizing SC APC and SC connector interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or structured cabling contractor familiar with fiber optic termination practices. Ensure all active equipment is powered down before disconnecting live fiber links to prevent exposure to laser light sources. Clean all connectors prior to mating using approved fiber optic cleaning tools to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for cable routing, bend radius, and jacket type requirements.
