Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM036 OM3 Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM036 is a duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure installations. Built with an OM3 multimode fiber core, this 2-fiber assembly uses a 1.6mm diameter LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, making it suitable for plenum and enclosed spaces where fire safety and low toxicity are required. The physical contact (PC) polish on each ferrule ensures low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cord to interconnect patch panels, switches, transceivers, and active equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network environments.

This patch cord is intended for indoor structured cabling applications where OM3 multimode performance is required. The LSZH jacket construction meets fire and smoke requirements common in commercial building installations, particularly in European and international projects or domestic builds where LSZH ratings are specified by the project engineer. The push-pull connector housing simplifies installation and removal in high-density patching environments where reach is limited and adjacent ports are closely spaced.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth backbone runs
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for simultaneous transmit and receive
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in enclosed spaces
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish delivers low insertion loss at each connection point
• Push-pull connector housing allows single-hand operation in dense patch environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic ports and panels in structured cabling systems. Specific compatible equipment or replacement part numbers were not provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors following TIA-568 and ISO 11801 structured cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber, power down active optical transceivers where practical and avoid direct eye exposure to any optical port. Inspect ferrule end faces with a fiber inspection scope and clean with appropriate tools before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Do not bend the cord below its minimum bend radius during routing or storage.
