Panduit FS2EPKEKENEM010 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKEKENEM010 is a 2-fiber OM4+ optical patch cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise network installations. It features a 1.6mm duplex cordage construction with LC keyed connectors on both ends and an OFNP plenum-rated jacket, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke ratings are required. The polished (PC) end-face finish supports reliable multimode signal transmission. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this cable in structured cabling applications.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and backbone fiber runs within commercial buildings, data centers, and campus environments where OM4+ multimode performance is required. The keyed LC connector design helps prevent mismatched polarity connections in high-density patch panels and fiber enclosures. Its plenum rating qualifies it for use in dropped ceilings and raised-floor air plenums without the need for conduit in many jurisdictions. Single-unit packaging makes it easy to deploy as a direct-replacement or new-install patch cord.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports extended reach at 40G and 100G transmission speeds
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Keyed LC connectors help prevent polarity errors in high-density fiber panels
• 1.6mm duplex cordage offers a compact, flexible cable body for tight routing
• PC-polished end faces provide low insertion loss for multimode links
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for individual deployment or replacement use

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure contractor. Always inspect connector end faces with a fiber microscope before mating and clean per industry standards to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Follow local building and fire codes, including NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770, when routing plenum-rated fiber cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bend radii below the cable minimum bend radius and do not over-tension the cordage during routing.
