Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1NNM014 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1NNM014 is an OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density structured cabling environments. It features a 1.6mm diameter fiber with a polished physical contact (PC) end finish and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it well-suited for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces where fire safety codes restrict halogen-containing materials. The push-pull connector design allows for fast, tool-free insertion and extraction in tightly packed patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers typically handle this type of cable in data center and enterprise LAN applications.

This patch cable is intended for use in OM4 multimode fiber runs, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over short to medium distances. The duplex two-fiber configuration supports full-duplex transmission between switches, servers, storage arrays, and other active equipment. The LSZH jacket meets stricter fire safety requirements common in European standards and in plenum-adjacent or enclosed network equipment rooms. It is sold as a single unit and is a direct plug-in replacement in existing OM4 LC duplex infrastructure.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber construction supports high-speed 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• Duplex two-fiber design enables full-duplex data transmission
• 1.6mm fiber diameter for use in high-density patch panel deployments
• Physical contact (PC) polished end face minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in fire conditions
• Push-pull connector tab allows one-finger extraction in crowded port environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install patch cable for OM4 multimode LC duplex fiber optic infrastructure in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling contractors familiar with fiber optic termination practices. Before connecting, inspect end faces with a fiber inspection scope and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can damage the fiber core. Follow applicable local codes and TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installations.
