Panduit FX23PSNSNSNM011 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord Sc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX23PSNSNSNM011 is a duplex fiber optic patch cord built for structured cabling and data communications installations. It uses OM3 multimode fiber in a 2-fiber, 3mm jacketed configuration with an OFNP (plenum-rated) outer jacket, making it suitable for runs through air-handling spaces where fire code compliance is required. SC connectors on both ends provide a push-pull, snap-lock termination widely used in enterprise and data center environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the typical trade handling this product.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone fiber runs within commercial and enterprise network infrastructure. The plenum OFNP jacket rating makes it appropriate for above-ceiling and raised-floor plenum spaces where NEC Article 770 requires flame-retardant, low-smoke materials. Duplex SC terminations support full-duplex transmit and receive paths on a single cord, which is standard practice for Ethernet and fiber channel links running over OM3 multimode fiber.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10GbE over appropriate distances
• Duplex 2-fiber construction provides simultaneous transmit and receive paths
• 3mm jacketed cable for added durability and handling flexibility
• OFNP plenum-rated outer jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling spaces
• SC duplex connectors on both ends with push-pull snap-lock engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with SC duplex fiber optic ports in OM3 multimode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords, ensure all optical transmitters on the circuit are powered down or have their ports disabled to avoid eye-safety hazards from laser sources. Clean SC ferrules with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool prior to mating to prevent insertion loss. Follow NEC Article 770 and applicable local codes when routing OFNP cables through plenum spaces.
