Panduit FS2EPKHKHNHM020 OM4+ 2F Lc Keyed Plenum Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKHKHNHM020 is a 2-fiber OM4+ multimode fiber optic patch cord with a 1.6mm cordage diameter, LC keyed connectors, and an OFNP plenum-rated jacket. Designed for high-density structured cabling environments, this patch cord supports 40G and 100G applications where a plenum-rated cable pathway is required. The LC keyed connector design provides polarity control and mismating protection, reducing the risk of cross-connection errors in complex fiber distribution panels. Suitable for installation by licensed low-voltage contractors, network technicians, and licensed electricians working in commercial data center and enterprise LAN environments.

This patch cord is intended for use in horizontal or backbone plenum cable runs within commercial buildings where air-handling spaces require OFNP-rated cabling per the National Electrical Code. Typical installation scenarios include structured cabling systems in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and open-ceiling office environments. The OM4+ multimode designation ensures compatibility with 850nm VCSEL-based transceivers and supports extended reach versus standard OM4 specifications. The keyed LC interface is especially suited for high-density patch panels and fiber cassette systems where polarity management is critical.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G transmission over extended reach
• OFNP plenum jacket rating meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation
• LC keyed connectors provide polarity locking and mismating prevention
• 1.6mm cordage diameter suits high-density routing and bend-radius management
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for standard full-duplex transceiver connections
• Physical Contact (PC) polish on connector ferrules minimizes insertion loss and back-reflection

Compatibility

Designed for use with LC keyed adapter panels and fiber cassette systems requiring OM4+ multimode duplex patch cords with OFNP plenum-rated jackets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568 and NEC Article 770. Before servicing active fiber links, disable associated optical transceivers and avoid direct exposure to optical output. Maintain minimum bend radius during routing to prevent insertion loss degradation. Do not exceed rated pulling tension when routing through conduit or cable management pathways.
