Panduit FZ23LSNSNSNM012 OM4 Duplex Sc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ23LSNSNSNM012 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density structured cabling environments. Built to OM4 performance standards, this assembly features a 3mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket and SC duplex connectors on both ends with a physical contact (PC) polish. The LSZH jacket rating makes it appropriate for plenum-adjacent or confined spaces where low toxicity in the event of fire is required. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of assembly.

This patch cable is suited for data center interconnects, enterprise LAN backbones, and campus fiber distribution applications where OM4 multimode performance is specified. OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth transmission at 850nm and is commonly used with 10G, 40G, and 100G active equipment over short to medium distances. The duplex configuration and SC interface make it compatible with a wide range of switches, transceivers, media converters, and fiber distribution panels in both commercial and enterprise installations.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber rated for high-bandwidth 10G, 40G, and 100G applications
• Duplex SC connectors with PC polish on both ends
• 3mm LSZH jacket for low smoke and zero halogen emissions in enclosed spaces
• 2-fiber construction in a duplex configuration for bidirectional transmission
• Factory-terminated assembly eliminates field polishing and reduces installation time

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated OM4 duplex SC patch cable for use with SC-port fiber switches, transceivers, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware in multimode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Inspect connector end-faces before mating and use a fiber inspection scope to verify cleanliness. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade optical performance. Ensure SC connectors are fully seated and latched in adapter ports before testing the link.
