Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM022 OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM022 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and data center environments. It features a 1.6mm duplex cable jacket rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), making it suitable for plenum and enclosed-space deployments where flame spread and toxic smoke output are code concerns. The physical contact (PC) polish on each connector end reduces back-reflection and insertion loss. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the typical tradespeople who specify and terminate this style of assembly.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone fiber runs connecting active equipment such as switches, patch panels, and transceivers within OM3 50/125 multimode fiber infrastructure. The LSZH jacket rating makes it appropriate for European installations and any domestic application where local codes restrict PVC jacket materials in air-handling spaces or confined cable pathways. It ships as a single, pre-terminated assembly ready for field installation without additional splicing or polishing.

Key Features

• OM3 50/125 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth backbone applications
• 2-fiber duplex construction provides simultaneous transmit and receive paths in a single cord
• 1.6mm cable diameter keeps bend radius tight and simplifies routing in dense patch environments
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and flame spread in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces
• Physical contact (PC) polish minimizes back-reflection at each connector interface
• Push-pull connector body allows insertion and extraction in high-density panel configurations without specialized tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated patch cord for use in OM3 multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems with compatible push-pull style adapter panels and active equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. De-energize or place associated active equipment in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords, and never look directly into a fiber end face or active port without appropriate optical power detection equipment. Inspect and clean each connector end face with an approved fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Follow applicable local codes and TIA-568 standards for bend radius, slack management, and labeling requirements.
