Panduit FX23LSNSNSNM017 OM3 Duplex Sc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX23LSNSNSNM017 is a 2-fiber OM3 duplex fiber optic patch cable terminated with SC connectors on both ends. Built with a 3mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, this cable is designed for environments where fire safety and toxic fume reduction are code requirements. The polished physical contact (PC) ferrule finish minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss, making it a reliable choice for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial facilities. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this assembly.

This patch cable is suited for OM3 multimode fiber backbone and horizontal runs in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN environments. The LSZH jacket rating makes it appropriate for plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where halogen-free materials are specified by local building codes or project specifications. The duplex SC configuration supports full-duplex transmission commonly required by Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet active equipment with SC-type ports.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10GbE over standard link distances
• Duplex SC connectors on both ends for full-duplex transceiver compatibility
• 3mm LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen emissions in confined or enclosed spaces
• Physical contact (PC) polish on ferrules reduces back-reflection at the connector interface
• 2-fiber construction in a single duplex cable assembly for straightforward patching

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch assembly for OM3 multimode fiber systems using duplex SC-type ports on switches, transceivers, and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before disconnecting fiber assemblies, and use approved laser safety precautions when working near energized fiber optic systems. Do not bend the cable tighter than the minimum bend radius specified for 3mm jacketed fiber assemblies, and avoid pinching or crimping the jacket during routing. Clean SC ferrules with approved fiber optic cleaning tools before mating to minimize insertion loss.
