Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM035 OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM035 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and data network installations. Built with a 1.6mm jacketed cable and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket, this patch cord is suited for environments where fire safety and low toxic emissions are required. The physical contact (PC) polish on the ferrules provides reliable optical connections with minimal insertion loss. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians typically install this type of patch cord in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and commercial network closets.

This patch cord is used in OM3 multimode fiber backbone and horizontal cabling applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel, and structured cabling systems in commercial and enterprise environments. The push-pull connector design allows for tool-free insertion and removal, making it practical in high-density patch panels where adjacent connector clearance is limited. It ships as a single unit per package and is intended for professional cabling installations.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and fiber channel applications
• 2-fiber configuration for duplex data transmission
• 1.6mm cable jacket diameter suited for high-density routing
• LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission in enclosed or plenum-adjacent spaces
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish minimizes back reflection and insertion loss
• Push-pull connector design allows easy extraction in dense panel environments

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or electrician familiar with fiber optic structured cabling standards. Inspect ferrule end faces for contamination before mating and clean with approved fiber optic cleaning tools prior to connection. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp bends or pinch points that can degrade optical performance. Installations in commercial buildings should comply with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
