Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM003 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM003 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable with a 1.6mm jacketed construction and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket. It features a push-pull connector design that enables tool-free insertion and extraction in dense panel environments. The PC (physical contact) polish on each ferrule minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss, making it suitable for high-density data center, telecommunications, and structured cabling installations. Fiber optic technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the typical installers for this product.

This patch cable is used in OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber optic networks supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40GbE, and similar high-bandwidth applications. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for use in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required by local fire or building codes. The push-pull tab connector body allows easy access in tightly packed fiber distribution frames, patch panels, and switch ports where standard connector pulls are difficult.

Key Features

• OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber supports 10GbE and higher bandwidth applications
• Duplex 2-fiber configuration for bidirectional data transmission
• 1.6mm slim jacket reduces congestion in high-density patching environments
• LSZH outer jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions in enclosed or restricted spaces
• PC polished ferrules minimize insertion loss and back-reflection
• Push-pull connector tab enables tool-free release in dense patch panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using compatible push-pull style duplex connectors in structured cabling and data center environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or fiber optic specialists. Before patching or re-patching active links, confirm port activity and follow site change-management procedures. Inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope prior to insertion, and clean with approved fiber optic cleaning tools if contamination is present. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
