Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM019 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM019 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord built for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Rated for OM3 multimode performance, this 2-fiber cord features a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for use in plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where smoke and toxic gas emission are a concern. The push-pull LC connector design allows technicians to seat and release connections in high-density patch panels without specialized tools, reducing installation time and minimizing adjacent-port disturbance in tight cable management trays.

This patch cord is used in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network closets where OM3 multimode fiber links are deployed. It is appropriate for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40GbE, and 100GbE backbone applications that fall within the distance limitations of OM3 fiber. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians working to ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. The LSZH jacket formulation makes this cord a common choice in European installations and any domestic project where halogen-free materials are specified by the engineer of record.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber rating supports high-bandwidth 10GbE and 40GbE applications
• Duplex 2-fiber configuration for bidirectional transceiver links
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen gas output in enclosed spaces
• Push-pull LC connector boot enables easy extraction in high-density panels without a latch tool
• Polished PC (physical contact) ferrule finish for low insertion loss

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines. Before patching or unpatching active fiber links, confirm with the network operations team that the associated port is dark or shut down, as live fiber can cause eye injury. Inspect the ferrule end-faces for contamination and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before insertion. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing through cable managers or conduit.
