Panduit FX23LSNSNSNM050 OM3 Duplex Sc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX23LSNSNSNM050 is a multimode OM3 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. This assembly features a 2-fiber configuration with SC connectors on both ends, a 3mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket, and a polished PC (Physical Contact) ferrule finish. The LSZH jacket formulation reduces toxic gas and smoke emissions in the event of fire, making this cable well-suited for enclosed or plenum-adjacent pathways where fire safety codes apply. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that specify and terminate this type of assembly.

This patch cable is intended for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network closets where OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure is in place. The SC duplex connector format is common in structured cabling panels, fiber distribution units, and active equipment ports. The 3mm jacketed construction provides added durability compared to 1.6mm slim-cord variants, making it appropriate for higher-traffic cable management environments and permanent or semi-permanent horizontal runs between patch panels and switches.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Duplex SC connectors on both ends for standard LC-to-SC patch panel and equipment connections
• LSZH jacket material minimizes smoke and halogen gas output in fire conditions
• 3mm jacket diameter provides increased mechanical protection over slim-cord assemblies
• PC ferrule polish reduces back-reflection and insertion loss at the connector interface
• Factory-terminated and tested assembly ready for immediate field deployment

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated replacement or new-installation patch cord for OM3 multimode fiber optic panels, enclosures, and active equipment ports using standard SC duplex connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Before installing, verify that the fiber end-faces are clean and free of debris using an inspection scope and appropriate cleaning tools. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as sharp bends can cause signal attenuation or physical damage to the fiber core. Protect connector ferrules with dust caps when the cable is not in service.
