Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM009 OM3 Fiber Patch Cord 2F Lszh

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM009 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and data network installations. It features a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacketed cable, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces where reduced smoke and toxic gas emission is required during a fire event. The push-pull connector design allows for quick, tool-free insertion and extraction even in high-density panel environments where finger access is limited. This patch cord is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors.

This patch cord is suited for use in enterprise data centers, telecommunications rooms, and structured cabling systems where OM3 50-micron multimode fiber is the installed plant medium. LSZH jacket requirements are common in European installations and in any domestic project subject to plenum or restricted-space fire codes calling for low-halogen materials. The push-pull form factor is particularly useful in high-density fiber distribution panels and patch enclosures where conventional LC or SC connectors become difficult to manipulate at close spacing.

Key Features

• OM3 50-micron multimode fiber supports 10GbE and higher-speed applications over appropriate distances
• 2-fiber construction for duplex transmit and receive runs
• 1.6mm LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission in fire conditions
• Push-pull connector mechanism enables tool-free mating and extraction in dense installations
• Physical contact (PC) polish on ferrule end-faces minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual circuit replacement or incremental deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cord for structured cabling systems utilizing OM3 multimode fiber with compatible push-pull style fiber optic ports and panels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Before patching or re-patching active circuits, coordinate with network operations to take the affected port offline and avoid live-fiber eye-safety hazards. Inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope and clean per industry practice before mating. Reference TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installation requirements.
