Panduit FZ23LSNSNSNM013 OM4 Duplex Sc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ23LSNSNSNM013 is an OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable terminated with SC connectors on both ends. It features a 3mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it well-suited for enclosed or plenum-adjacent spaces where combustion byproducts and halogen off-gassing are a concern. The cable carries a 2-fiber configuration with a physical contact (PC) polish on the connector end faces. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades that handle this product during structured cabling installations.

This patch cable is designed for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network environments where OM4 multimode performance is required. It connects active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware in horizontal or backbone cabling runs. The LSZH jacket meets flame and smoke requirements commonly mandated in European installations and certain domestic commercial building codes. The duplex SC format is a standard interface found on a wide range of switches, transceivers, and fiber patch panels.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode glass fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE over appropriate distances
• Duplex SC connectors on both ends with physical contact (PC) polish for low insertion loss
• 3mm LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire
• 2-fiber construction for full-duplex transmit and receive in a single cable assembly
• Factory-terminated and tested assembly ready for immediate deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for use with SC-port fiber optic equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units requiring OM4 multimode connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Avoid bending the cable tighter than the minimum bend radius specified for 3mm duplex assemblies, as sharp bends can cause signal attenuation or physical damage to the fiber. Keep connector end faces capped or covered until the moment of connection, and inspect and clean end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Local building codes and TIA-568 standards should be consulted for structured cabling installation requirements.
