Panduit FW2ERQ1Q1SNM005 OM5 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FW2ERQ1Q1SNM005 is an OM5 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and data network installations. Built with a 1.6mm cable diameter and an OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacket, this cord supports high-bandwidth multimode fiber applications. The push-pull connector design allows for straightforward insertion and extraction in dense panel environments where space for traditional latch manipulation is limited. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of cord in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN infrastructures.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and riser runs in commercial and enterprise environments where OFNR-rated cable is required by code. The OM5 multimode fiber classification supports short-reach, high-speed wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications, making it appropriate for 40G and 100G network deployments over short distances. The duplex 2-fiber configuration handles bidirectional data transmission in a single assembly. It is sold as an individual unit and is typically installed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling contractors.

Key Features

• OM5 multimode fiber supports high-speed WDM applications including 40G and 100G over short distances
• OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire rating requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• 1.6mm cable diameter provides a compact, flexible form factor for dense patch panel environments
• Push-pull connector interface allows easy extraction in tight spaces without a release tool
• Duplex 2-fiber construction enables full-duplex bidirectional transmission in a single cord

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for OM5 multimode fiber optic patch panels and equipment ports using compatible push-pull style duplex connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or structured cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 fiber optic cabling standards. Before patching or unpatching, ensure connected equipment ports are not actively transmitting optical signals that could cause eye hazard. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp bends or kinking. Inspect ferrule end faces for contamination before mating and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary.
