Panduit FS2EPKELNNEM006 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKELNNEM006 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord rated for OM4+ performance with a 1.6mm round cable jacket and LC keyed connectors on both ends. The OFNP (plenum-rated) jacket meets fire code requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. This patch cord is designed for high-bandwidth structured cabling environments where density, polarity control, and plenum compliance are all required. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cord to interconnect switches, patch panels, and active equipment in data centers and enterprise LAN deployments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and backbone structured cabling in commercial and enterprise environments. The LC keyed connector design helps enforce polarity and prevents mismating in high-density patch fields. OM4+ glass supports 40G and 100G applications over appropriate link distances. Plenum-rated construction makes it compliant for use in HVAC air-return spaces without conduit, per applicable building codes. Installation scenarios typically include data center rack-to-rack connections, telecommunications rooms, and high-density fiber distribution panels.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth 40G and 100G applications
• LC keyed connectors enforce polarity and prevent accidental mismating
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket approved for use in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 1.6mm duplex cable construction for flexible routing in tight pathways
• 2-fiber configuration for standard duplex transceiver connections
• Polish-contact (PC) end-face finish on both connectors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with standard LC-compatible duplex ports on multimode fiber switches, transceivers, and patch panels in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber to prevent exposure to optical emissions. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid signal degradation. Inspect and clean connector end-faces prior to insertion using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools.
