Panduit FS2EPKAKANAM002 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKAKANAM002 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord built to OM4+ performance standards with a 1.6mm jacketed cable and LC keyed connectors on both ends. Rated OFNP (plenum-rated), this patch cord is designed for structured cabling installations where fire code requires plenum-rated cabling in air-handling spaces. The physical contact (PC) polish on the ferrules ensures low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cord to connect active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units in high-density data environments.

This patch cord is suited for backbone and horizontal fiber runs in commercial and enterprise network installations. The OM4+ rating supports high-bandwidth applications including 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber at extended reach. The keyed LC connector design prevents mismatched port connections, making it appropriate for installations where polarity control and port security are required. It is a direct-connect solution between switches, servers, transceivers, and patch panels in data centers, telecom rooms, and wiring closets.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber rating supports 40GbE and 100GbE transmission
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets fire code requirements for air-handling spaces
• LC keyed connectors prevent incorrect port insertion and aid polarity management
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish provides low insertion loss
• 1.6mm duplex zip-cord jacket for flexible routing in tight spaces
• 2-fiber duplex construction for standard bidirectional transceiver connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for LC-duplex multimode fiber ports on switches, transceivers, patch panels, and fiber distribution units in OM4+ structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians familiar with TIA-568 fiber cabling standards. Always power down or disable the associated transceiver port before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords to avoid eye hazard from active laser sources. Inspect ferrule end-faces for contamination and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before insertion. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid signal degradation.
