Panduit FS2EPKFKFNFM006 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKFKFNFM006 is a 2-fiber OM4+ duplex fiber optic patch cord built with a 1.6mm jacketed cable and LC keyed connectors on both ends. Rated OFNP (plenum), it meets fire and smoke requirements for installation inside air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. The keyed LC connector design prevents accidental mismating with standard LC ports, making it well suited for high-density or color-coded fiber management systems. This patch cord is installed by network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals in data centers, enterprise LAN infrastructure, and commercial structured cabling projects.

This patch cord is designed for high-bandwidth multimode fiber applications where OM4+ performance is required. The OFNP plenum rating makes it appropriate for above-ceiling and air-plenum pathway installations where standard riser-rated cables are not permitted by code. Physical contact (PC) polishing on the connectors provides consistent insertion loss performance across connections. Typical deployment includes inter-rack patching, switch-to-patch-panel links, and backbone cross-connect applications in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40G and 100G over supported distances
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling space installations
• Keyed LC connectors prevent accidental mating with standard LC ports for controlled fiber management
• Physical contact (PC) polish on ferrules delivers consistent, low insertion loss performance
• 1.6mm duplex zipcord construction provides flexibility and ease of routing in tight pathways
• 2-fiber duplex configuration supports full-duplex transceiver links

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with keyed LC-compatible fiber optic equipment in OM4+ multimode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Inspect ferrule end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating connectors, and clean as needed per manufacturer guidelines. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp bends or kinking that can degrade optical performance. Verify that all active equipment is powered down or ports are properly covered before disconnecting live fiber links.
