Panduit FS2EPKHLNNHM004 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKHLNNHM004 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord built to OM4+ performance standards. It features a 1.6mm diameter low-smoke zero-halogen OFNP-rated jacket, making it suitable for plenum-rated installations where fire and smoke codes apply. The cord is terminated with keyed LC connectors on both ends and supports 2-fiber duplex operation. Network technicians and data center installers use this patch cord to make structured cabling connections between active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware. The polished PC (Physical Contact) ferrule finish provides reliable insertion loss performance in standard multimode fiber runs.

This patch cord is designed for use in high-density multimode fiber optic networks, particularly in data centers, enterprise backbone cabling, and telecommunications rooms. OM4+ multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40G and 100G Ethernet over short to medium distances. The OFNP jacket rating qualifies it for installation in air-handling plenums without conduit under NEC guidelines. Keyed LC connectors help prevent incorrect mating in environments where multiple fiber types are deployed side by side.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth 40G and 100G network applications
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation
• 1.6mm duplex zipcord construction for flexible routing in tight cable management
• Keyed LC connectors prevent mismatched mating in mixed-fiber environments
• PC-polished ferrules deliver consistent physical contact and low insertion loss
• 2-fiber duplex configuration supports full-duplex transceiver connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use with LC-keyed duplex ports on multimode fiber optic equipment and patch panels in plenum-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This patch cord is typically installed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians following TIA-568 and NEC Article 770 guidelines. Before installation, verify that the destination ports accept keyed LC duplex connectors and are rated for OM4 or OM4+ multimode fiber. Clean all ferrule end faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the 1.6mm jacket during routing to avoid signal degradation.
