Panduit FW2ERLNLNSNM015 OM5 Duplex Lc Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FW2ERLNLNSNM015 is an OM5 wideband multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC connectors on both ends. Built with a 1.6mm jacketed 2-fiber construction and an OFNR-rated (riser) jacket, this patch cord is suited for structured cabling installations where short-wavelength division multiplexing and high-bandwidth backbone runs are required. The polished PC (Physical Contact) ferrule end-face geometry minimizes back reflection and insertion loss. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this patch cord as a cross-connect or equipment-side jumper in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network closets.

This patch cord is designed for OM5 lime-green wideband multimode fiber infrastructures operating at 850 nm through 953 nm wavelengths, supporting high-speed transmission protocols. The OFNR riser rating satisfies National Electrical Code requirements for installation in vertical runs between floors. The duplex LC connector format is common in switch, router, and transceiver port applications where space-efficient SFP-style ports are standard. It is appropriate for both horizontal and backbone intra-building fiber runs in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications
• Duplex LC connectors on both ends for SFP and SFP+ port compatibility
• 1.6mm jacket diameter provides flexibility in high-density patch panel environments
• OFNR riser-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for vertical intra-building runs
• PC polished ferrules reduce insertion loss and back reflection at mated interfaces
• 2-fiber construction supports full-duplex transmission on a single cord

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for OM5 duplex LC fiber infrastructure, compatible with standard LC-duplex ports on switches, media converters, and fiber patch panels in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and registered communications distribution designers typically install fiber patch cords as part of a structured cabling system. Clean all ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating connectors to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing or dressing. Installations in riser pathways must comply with applicable NEC riser-rated cabling requirements.
