Panduit FX2ELLNLNSNM038 OM3 Duplex Lc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELLNLNSNM038 is a multimode OM3 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networks. Built with a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, this assembly uses LC duplex connectors on both ends and a physical contact (PC) polish for reliable low-loss signal transmission. The LSZH jacket construction makes it suitable for installations in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where smoke and halogen emission requirements apply. Network technicians and licensed low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this type of assembly.

This patch cable is used in OM3 multimode fiber optic networks running 10 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible protocols. Typical applications include switch-to-patch-panel runs, cross-connect links in main distribution areas (MDAs), and equipment-side connections in structured cabling systems. The duplex LC form factor is standard in modern enterprise switching equipment and fiber distribution hardware. Each unit is sold individually and is suitable for both commercial and institutional network infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and high-bandwidth network applications
• Duplex LC connectors on both ends for standard enterprise and data center equipment compatibility
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen output in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces
• Physical contact (PC) polish minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss at connector interfaces
• 2-fiber construction supports full-duplex transmission over a single cable assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch assembly for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using duplex LC connections in structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down any active transceivers where possible and use appropriate laser safety precautions. Inspect LC ferrules for contamination and clean with approved fiber optic cleaning tools before seating connectors. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
