Panduit FZ23LSNSNSNM018 OM4 Duplex Sc Sc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ23LSNSNSNM018 is an OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density structured cabling environments. Built with a 3mm jacket and terminated with SC connectors on both ends, this cable supports multimode transmission applications where low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket material is specified. The polished PC (physical contact) ferrules provide reliable end-face geometry for consistent signal performance. It is sold as a single unit and is installed by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and data center infrastructure professionals.

This patch cable is suited for use in commercial and enterprise environments where LSZH jacket compliance is required by fire or building codes, such as plenum-adjacent or international installations. The duplex SC configuration makes it appropriate for transceivers, patch panels, switches, and active equipment that use SC-type ports in OM4-rated multimode fiber systems. Its 2-fiber construction supports standard duplex data transmission links.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber rating supports high-bandwidth, short-reach data center and LAN applications
• Duplex 2-fiber construction enables simultaneous transmit and receive over a single cable assembly
• 3mm LSZH outer jacket meets low smoke zero halogen requirements for restricted or code-sensitive spaces
• SC to SC duplex termination compatible with common enterprise switching and patch panel equipment
• PC polished connectors provide reliable physical contact for low insertion loss connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cable for OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure utilizing duplex SC port interfaces on patch panels, switches, or active network equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network infrastructure personnel. Deactivate or disable the associated ports on connected equipment before handling fiber connectors to avoid exposure to active laser sources. Clean SC ferrule end-faces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating to minimize insertion loss. Follow applicable cabling standards such as TIA-568 and local building codes regarding LSZH jacket requirements for the installation environment.
