Panduit FW2ERLNSNSNM004 OM5 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FW2ERLNSNSNM004 is an OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial buildings. Built with a 1.6mm duplex jacketed design and LC duplex connectors on both ends, this 2-fiber assembly supports high-bandwidth multimode applications. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) jacket rating makes it suitable for installation in riser pathways between floors. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this type of assembly.

This patch cable is used in multimode fiber backbone and horizontal cabling runs where OM5 wideband multimode fiber is specified. OM5 glass supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 transceivers, making it well suited for 40G, 100G, and emerging higher-speed applications. Typical install scenarios include patch panel to switch connections, cross-connect links, and equipment-side jumpers in structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports SWDM4 and high-speed data transmission
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for compatibility with common active equipment ports
• 1.6mm duplex jacket provides flexible routing in tight cable management environments
• OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire rating requirements for between-floor installations
• 2-fiber construction supports full-duplex transmit and receive on a single cable assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber jumper for use in OM5 multimode structured cabling systems terminated with LC duplex ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling contractors and network technicians typically install fiber patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Avoid sharp bend radii below the cable minimum bend radius rating to prevent signal loss or fiber damage. Do not over-tighten cable ties or fasteners around the jacket. Inspect LC ferrules for contamination before mating and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools prior to insertion.
