Panduit FS2EPKALNNAM004 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKALNNAM004 is a 2-fiber OM4+ duplex fiber optic patch cord with a 1.6mm zipcord jacket rated OFNP (plenum-rated, Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) and terminated with keyed LC connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-density structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. The physical contact (PC) polished ferrules support low insertion loss connections. Installation is performed by network cabling technicians and low-voltage data comm installers working on backbone or horizontal fiber runs.

This patch cord is suited for use in plenum-rated air-handling spaces where NEC Article 770 requires OFNP-rated cable. The 1.6mm duplex construction keeps bend radius tight and supports organized, high-density patch panel environments. The keyed LC interface helps prevent mismatched connector insertion in installations that use keyed port systems to enforce polarity or port segregation. Typical applications include switch-to-patch-panel connections, fiber distribution frames, and structured cabling cross-connects in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40G and 100G Ethernet over appropriate distances
• OFNP plenum rating meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling plenum spaces
• Keyed LC connectors help enforce polarity and prevent incorrect port insertion in keyed-port systems
• Physical Contact (PC) polish on ferrules reduces back-reflection and insertion loss
• 1.6mm duplex zipcord jacket provides a compact, manageable form factor for high-density patching
• 2-fiber configuration supports standard duplex transmit/receive channel arrangements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with LC keyed-port fiber equipment in OM4+ multimode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by low-voltage or data communications cabling technicians. No tools are required for connector insertion, but ensure LC ferrules and ports are clean before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the 1.6mm jacket, and avoid over-tensioning the cord when routing through cable managers. Verify that both the port and the connector are keyed compatibly before insertion to prevent damage.
