Panduit F92EPKCLCSCM005 OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord Lc Sc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F92EPKCLCSCM005 is an OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for low-loss, high-bandwidth connectivity in structured cabling installations. Built with a 1.6mm diameter cable jacket rated OFNP (plenum-rated, Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum), it features LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, making it a practical solution for cross-connecting equipment in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network environments. The 2-fiber configuration supports full-duplex transmission. Licensed network installers and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary trades installing this cord.

This patch cord is suited for OS2 single-mode fiber backbone and horizontal runs where plenum-rated cable is required by code. Typical applications include connecting switches, routers, transceivers, and patch panels in commercial and enterprise environments. The LC-to-SC configuration covers common mixed-connector scenarios found in equipment rooms where different vendor hardware must be interconnected. The OFNP jacket rating makes it appropriate for use in air-handling plenum spaces without conduit where permitted by the applicable fire code.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket suitable for air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770
• LC connector on one end, SC connector on the other for mixed-hardware environments
• 1.6mm cable diameter provides flexibility in tight cable management trays
• Duplex 2-fiber construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive paths
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on connectors reduces back reflection at the fiber interface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit patch cord for OS2 single-mode fiber installations using LC and SC interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Always inspect and clean connector end-faces before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as kinking or over-bending a single-mode fiber cord will degrade performance. Reference NEC Article 770 for plenum installation requirements when routing through air-handling spaces.
