Panduit FS2EPKGKGNGM020 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKGKGNGM020 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord rated for OM4+ performance. It features a 1.6mm diameter cable, LC keyed connectors on both ends, and a physical contact (PC) polished termination. The OFNP plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke codes apply. This patch cord is designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-bandwidth horizontal or backbone runs. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers.

This patch cord is used in OM4+ multimode fiber cabling systems operating at wavelengths up to 850 nanometers, supporting high-speed protocols such as 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over short distances. The LC keyed connector design helps prevent cross-connection errors in dense patching environments. It is well suited for equipment rooms, telecommunications rooms, and data center interconnects where plenum-rated cabling is required by local fire codes.

Key Features

• OM4+ rated multimode fiber for high-bandwidth, short-distance applications
• Duplex configuration with two fibers in a single 1.6mm jacketed cable
• LC keyed connectors help prevent incorrect port connections in dense patch fields
• Physical contact (PC) polish reduces insertion loss and back reflection
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Sold as a single assembly (quantity 1 per unit)

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or registered communications distribution designer familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or log out active connections at the switch or transceiver before patching to avoid signal disruption. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the fiber cable during routing and do not cinch cable ties tightly against the jacket. Inspect LC connector ferrules for contamination before insertion and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if needed.
