Panduit FS2EPKKLNNKM020 OM4+ Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FS2EPKKLNNKM020 is a 2-fiber duplex OM4+ optical fiber patch cable with a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen-rated OFNP jacket and LC keyed connectors on both ends. Designed for high-density data center and enterprise network installations, this cable supports multimode OM4+ performance, delivering the bandwidth needed for 40G and 100G applications over short structured cabling runs. The polished PC (physical contact) end-face finish minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of patch cable to connect switches, servers, patch panels, and active equipment in backbone and horizontal distribution segments.

This patch cable is suited for use in plenum-rated spaces such as raised-floor data centers, above-ceiling cable trays, and air-handling areas where OFNP jacket ratings are required by code. The keyed LC connector format helps prevent mismatched connector insertion in installations where connector polarity or port segregation must be maintained. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for structured cabling projects governed by TIA-568 and ISO-11801 standards.

Key Features

• OM4+ multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G transmission over standard short-reach distances
• OFNP-rated jacket meets plenum installation requirements per NEC Article 770
• 1.6mm duplex zipcord construction provides flexibility in tight cable management environments
• Keyed LC connectors help enforce port polarity and prevent unintended mating
• PC polished end-face finish reduces insertion loss and back-reflection
• 2-fiber duplex configuration supports full-duplex transceiver links in a single cable assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with standard LC-duplex multimode ports in data center switching, server, and structured cabling patch panel applications requiring OM4+ rated multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure professional. Deactivate or disable the associated optical transceivers before handling fiber connectors to avoid exposure to active laser sources. Observe minimum bend radius requirements for the 1.6mm cable diameter to prevent attenuation or fiber damage. Follow TIA-568 and applicable NEC Article 770 guidelines for plenum pathway fill and cable support spacing.
