Panduit FS2EPKEKENEM005 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cable Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKEKENEM005 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable built to OM4+ performance standards. It features a 1.6mm cordage diameter, LC keyed connectors on both ends, and an OFNP-rated plenum jacket suitable for air-handling spaces. The physical contact (PC) polish on the ferrules delivers low insertion loss and reliable return loss performance. This cable is designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms where high-bandwidth multimode transmission is required. Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or datacom cabling technician.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and backbone runs in commercial and enterprise environments where plenum fire ratings are required by code. The keyed LC connectors help prevent mismatched connections in high-density panels and switches. It is commonly used to connect fiber optic switches, patch panels, transceivers, and active equipment in OM4+ multimode cabling systems running 10G, 40G, or 100G applications.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber rating supports high-bandwidth data transmission
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling spaces
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish for low insertion loss
• Duplex 2-fiber construction in a 1.6mm diameter cordage
• Keyed LC connectors reduce the risk of incorrect mating in dense fiber environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for OM4+ multimode fiber optic systems using LC keyed duplex connections in plenum-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. De-energize or power down active equipment before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius and inspect ferrule end-faces for contamination before mating. OFNP plenum-rated cables must be used in air-handling spaces per NEC Article 770 requirements.
