Panduit FX2ERQ1Q1SNM049 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ERQ1Q1SNM049 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. Built to OM3 performance standards, this cable features a 1.6mm cordage diameter and an OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) fire rating, making it suitable for riser-rated plenum and vertical pathway installations. The push-pull connector design allows for easier insertion and extraction in high-density panels and patch fields where finger access is limited. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This patch cable is used in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network environments where OM3 multimode fiber is the specified medium. The 2-fiber duplex configuration supports full-duplex transmission over multimode backbone and horizontal cabling runs. The OFNR jacket rating satisfies National Electrical Code requirements for riser-installed optical fiber cables, making it appropriate for vertical runs between floors in commercial and institutional buildings. It ships as an individual assembly, sold per each.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode performance rating supports high-bandwidth applications over multimode fiber infrastructure
• 1.6mm cordage diameter provides a compact form factor for high-density patching environments
• OFNR jacket rating meets NEC riser installation requirements for optical fiber nonconductive cables
• Push-pull connector design enables easier handling in congested patch panels and high-density fiber enclosures
• 2-fiber duplex construction supports full-duplex transmission in standard fiber link configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber patch assembly for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic panels, enclosures, and equipment ports requiring compatible duplex connectors in riser-rated cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure contractor familiar with fiber optic handling practices. De-energize and power down connected active equipment before patching to avoid optical exposure hazards. Inspect connector end-faces and clean per industry standards prior to mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Follow NEC Article 770 requirements for OFNR-rated optical fiber cable routing and firestopping at floor penetrations.
