Panduit FX2ELQ1Q1SNM043 OM3 Fiber Patch Cord 2F Lszh

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ELQ1Q1SNM043 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord built for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. Constructed with a 1.6mm cordage diameter and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, this patch cord is suited for environments where fire safety and smoke toxicity are code requirements. The physical contact (PC) polish on the fiber end faces delivers reliable optical performance with low insertion loss. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord in data centers, telecom rooms, and commercial building wiring systems.

This patch cord is designed for use in multimode fiber optic networks running OM3-compatible equipment. The push-pull connector mechanism allows for installation and removal in high-density panels and switches where traditional latch-style connectors are difficult to manipulate. Typical applications include backbone and horizontal runs in enterprise data centers, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings where LSZH-rated materials are required by local fire and building codes. The 2-fiber configuration supports duplex transmission for standard network equipment interfaces.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber grade supports 10GbE and higher-speed applications over appropriate distances
• LSZH jacket material meets fire safety code requirements in enclosed or plenum-adjacent spaces
• Physical contact (PC) polish provides low insertion loss at fiber end faces
• 1.6mm cordage diameter offers flexibility in tight routing environments
• Push-pull connector design enables easy handling in high-density patching environments
• 2-fiber duplex configuration supports standard bidirectional network transceiver interfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cord for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using push-pull style duplex connectors in structured cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician familiar with fiber optic structured cabling practices. Disconnect or power down active transceivers before handling fiber end faces to avoid exposure to laser emissions. Avoid bending the cordage below its minimum bend radius during routing, and inspect end faces for contamination before insertion. Reference TIA-568 and applicable local building codes for structured cabling installation requirements.
