Panduit FX2ERQ1Q1SNM3.5 OM3 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FX2ERQ1Q1SNM3.5 is a factory-terminated OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network environments. Built on a 1.6mm tight-buffer construction with an OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacket, this two-fiber assembly uses push-pull style connectors for tool-free insertion and extraction in high-density panel applications. The 3.5-meter length suits short inter-rack and patch-panel-to-switch runs where precise cable management is required.

This patch cable is suited for OM3 50/125 multimode horizontal and backbone cabling segments in commercial and institutional facilities. Push-pull connector housings allow installers to route and terminate cables in tightly packed fiber enclosures without disturbing adjacent connections. The OFNR jacket rating makes it appropriate for riser pathways between floors where plenum-rated cable is not required by the local authority having jurisdiction. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications at appropriate distances
• Duplex 2-fiber configuration for bidirectional transceiver connections
• 1.6mm cable diameter for flexible routing in congested pathways
• Push-pull connector design enables easy extraction in high-density panels
• OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire code requirements without requiring plenum rating
• 3.5-meter factory-terminated length for consistent insertion loss performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic panels, switches, and transceivers accepting push-pull style duplex fiber connectors.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage or registered communications cabling technicians should handle fiber optic patch cable installation per TIA-568 and local NEC Article 770 requirements. Always inspect the ferrule end-faces for contamination and clean with an approved fiber optic cleaning tool before mating connectors. Never exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid kinking or over-tensioning the jacket. Power down active transceivers before disconnecting fiber connections to avoid exposure to laser light.
