Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM002 OM5 Fiber Patch Cord 2F Ofnr

Product Description

The PANDUIT FW2ERQ1Q1SNM002 is an OM5 multimode fiber optic patch cord rated for 2-fiber construction with a 1.6mm jacketed cable. It is designed for high-density structured cabling environments where space and performance are both critical. The push-pull connector design allows technicians to seat and release connections in tight cable management situations without requiring extra clearance. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating makes it suitable for vertical riser pathways inside commercial buildings. Installation and termination are typically handled by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians working in data center, enterprise, or commercial network infrastructure projects.

This patch cord is suited for use in high-bandwidth multimode fiber runs, including those supporting 40G and 100G applications on wideband OM5 cabling. The riser-rated jacket meets requirements for installation in vertical cable runs between floors in commercial buildings. The 1.6mm cable diameter allows for higher port density in patch panels and fiber enclosures compared to standard 2mm or 3mm jacketed cords. It is typically deployed in structured cabling systems, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment rooms where organized, high-density fiber connectivity is required.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40G and 100G transmission
• 2-fiber construction in a compact 1.6mm jacket for high-density installations
• Push-pull connector design enables easy insertion and extraction in congested patch fields
• OFNR-rated jacket approved for installation in riser cable pathways per NEC Article 770
• Polished PC (Physical Contact) connector finish reduces back-reflection and insertion loss

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM5 multimode fiber optic panels, switches, and transceivers requiring push-pull style connectors with a 1.6mm cable jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Inspect connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating, and clean connectors per manufacturer guidelines to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Power down active transceivers or laser sources before disconnecting or connecting fiber patch cords. Reference NEC Article 770 for optical fiber cable routing and riser-rating requirements in commercial building applications.
