Panduit FZ2ELLNSNSNM001 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELLNSNSNM001 is an OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It features a 1.6mm diameter cable jacket with dual LC connectors on each end and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material, making it suitable for enclosed or plenum-adjacent environments where off-gassing is a concern. This patch cord carries a physical contact (PC) polish on both connector ferrules, ensuring reliable low-loss connections in active fiber runs. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of assembly.

This patch cord is used in OM4 multimode fiber optic networks, typically in data centers, enterprise LAN backbones, and server room cross-connects. The duplex LC configuration supports transceivers and switches that use SFP or SFP+ modules requiring separate transmit and receive fibers. The LSZH jacket makes it a preferred choice in European-standard installations and any application where building codes restrict PVC-jacketed cables in occupied spaces. It ships as a single assembly ready for immediate termination at patch panels or active equipment ports.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications over laser-optimized 50/125 micron glass
• Duplex LC connectors on both ends for use with SFP and SFP+ transceivers
• 1.6mm slim cable diameter reduces congestion in high-density patch environments
• LSZH jacket limits toxic smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish minimizes back-reflection at connector interfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard field assembly for OM4 multimode fiber optic patch panel and active equipment ports using duplex LC interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians working under structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568. De-energize or place transceivers in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords to avoid eye hazard from active laser sources. Clean ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before insertion to prevent contamination-related loss. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
