Panduit FX2ERQ1Q1SNM020 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ERQ1Q1SNM020 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable rated for plenum-free riser (OFNR) environments. Built with a 1.6mm cordage diameter and push-pull style connectors for tool-free insertion and extraction, this patch cable is engineered for structured cabling installations in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network backbones. The push-pull tab design reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and simplifies cable management in high-density fiber panels. Licensed cabling technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this assembly for reliable OM3-class multimode connectivity.

This patch cable suits horizontal and backbone fiber runs in commercial buildings where riser-rated cabling is required. The OM3 multimode classification supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to moderate distances. The 1.6mm jacket diameter is well suited for dense patch panel environments where cable bend radius and space constraints are a priority. Typical installations include connecting switches to patch panels, connecting fiber distribution units, or cross-connecting equipment within a structured cabling system.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth 10GbE and above applications
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for bidirectional transmission
• 1.6mm cordage diameter for use in high-density patching environments
• OFNR riser-rated jacket meets fire code requirements for vertical runs between floors
• Push-pull connector design enables fast, tool-free installation and removal in tight spaces

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 fiber optic standards. Always inspect connectors for contamination before mating and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Observe minimum bend radius requirements during routing to avoid signal degradation. Power down active equipment or redirect traffic before disconnecting live fiber links where network continuity is required.
