Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM013 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM013 is an OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Built with a 1.6mm duplex cable jacket rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), this cord is suited for use in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where fire and smoke safety codes are a concern. The push-pull connector design simplifies plug and unplug operations in high-density patch environments, reducing the risk of disturbing adjacent connections. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cable is appropriate for OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber runs in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network closets. It supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is a direct interconnect or cross-connect solution for patch panels, switches, and active equipment with compatible LC or similar duplex fiber ports. The LSZH jacket formulation meets international building code requirements for low-emission cable in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber classification supporting high-bandwidth data transmission
• Duplex 2-fiber construction for simultaneous transmit and receive
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket rated for low smoke and zero halogen emissions in enclosed spaces
• Push-pull connector body allows clean extraction in dense patch fields without special tools
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on ferrules for low back-reflection and reliable signal integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling patch cord for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic systems and compatible duplex fiber port equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation of fiber optic patch cords is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. De-energize or place active ports in a safe state before handling fiber connections, and never look directly into an active fiber port or cable end. Inspect ferrule end-faces for contamination before insertion, and use appropriate fiber cleaning tools to remove dust or debris. Follow local building codes and manufacturer bend-radius guidelines to avoid signal loss or cable damage.
