Panduit FS2EPKBKBNBM005 OM4+ Duplex Lc Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKBKBNBM005 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord built to OM4+ performance standards. It features a 1.6mm diameter cable with LC keyed connectors and an OFNP-rated jacket, making it suitable for plenum-space installations where fire and smoke ratings are required by code. The physical contact (PC) polish on the connector end faces ensures low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission. Designed for structured cabling environments, this patch cord is installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and data center infrastructure teams.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone fiber runs within commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise LAN installations. The OFNP plenum rating qualifies it for use in air-handling spaces without conduit, per NEC Article 770. The OM4+ multimode rating supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over short to medium distances. The keyed LC connector design helps prevent mismating in high-density panels where connector polarity management is critical.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber rating supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling spaces
• Keyed LC connectors reduce mismating risk in high-density fiber panels
• Physical contact (PC) polish provides low insertion loss at mated end faces
• 1.6mm duplex cable construction for flexible routing in tight spaces
• 2-fiber (duplex) configuration supports standard bidirectional transceiver links

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install duplex fiber patch cord for OM4+ multimode LC-keyed fiber infrastructure in plenum-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician familiar with fiber handling and NEC Article 770 plenum requirements. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius, and do not cinch cable ties tightly around fiber. Inspect and clean LC connector end faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating. Deactivate connected transceivers or ports before plugging or unplugging the patch cord to protect both the fiber end faces and active equipment.
