Panduit FX2ERQ1Q1SNM035 OM3 Fiber Patch Cord 2F

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ERQ1Q1SNM035 is a factory-terminated OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and data network installations. Built with a 1.6mm cordage diameter and a push-pull connector interface, this 2-fiber assembly supports high-bandwidth optical transmission in rack-to-rack, panel-to-switch, and equipment-side connections. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating makes it suitable for in-building riser pathways where fire-code-compliant cable jacketing is required. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is used in commercial and enterprise network environments where OM3 50/125 multimode fiber infrastructure is deployed. Typical applications include fiber optic panels, switch uplink ports, and active equipment connections in telecommunications rooms and data centers. The push-pull connector design allows for high-density installations where conventional latch-release access is limited. The 1.6mm diameter cordage is well suited for organized, high-count patching environments where cable management is a priority.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and higher-bandwidth applications over appropriate distances
• Push-pull connector interface enables easy mating and release in high-density patch panels
• 1.6mm cordage diameter reduces bulk and improves airflow management in dense installations
• OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire code requirements for in-building vertical runs
• 2-fiber configuration suits duplex transceiver and SFP port connections
• Factory-terminated and tested for consistent optical performance out of the box

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style terminated patch cord for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic panels, adapters, and active equipment ports accepting push-pull style connectors in riser-rated cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic termination practices and applicable codes such as ANSI/TIA-568 and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 770. Always inspect connector end-faces with an approved fiber inspection scope before mating, and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool if contamination is present. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cordage during routing and do not overtighten cable managers against the 1.6mm jacket. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber in live optical systems to avoid eye hazard from laser sources.
