Panduit FX2ERLNLNSNM018 OM3 Duplex Lc Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ERLNLNSNM018 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC connectors on both ends, designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network environments. The cable features a 1.6mm duplex zip-cord jacket rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), making it suitable for vertical riser runs between floors in commercial buildings. PC (Physical Contact) polished ferrules provide reliable low-loss connections at each LC connector end. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this patch cord.

This patch cord is used in OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40GbE, and 100GbE backbone and equipment connections. The LC duplex form factor is widely used in high-density patch panels, fiber switches, and active equipment in both commercial and enterprise deployments. The OFNR jacket rating allows installation in riser-rated conduit and cable pathways per applicable fire and building codes.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and higher-speed backbone applications
• Duplex LC connectors on both ends for standard SFP and SFP+ transceiver compatibility
• 1.6mm zip-cord duplex jacket construction for flexible routing in tight spaces
• OFNR riser-rated jacket for vertical pathway installations
• PC polished ferrules for low-loss, reliable physical contact connections
• 2-fiber construction sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with LC duplex-port fiber equipment and OM3 multimode structured cabling systems in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all active equipment ports are powered down or fiber transceivers are inactive before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords to avoid exposure to laser light. Do not bend the cable below its minimum bend radius, and avoid cinching cable ties tightly around fiber jackets. Clean all ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating connectors.
