Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1NNM049 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1NNM049 is a duplex OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling environments. Built with a 1.6mm cable diameter and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, this cord suits installations where fire safety and smoke toxicity ratings are required by code. The PushPull tab connector design allows technicians to seat and release connections cleanly in tightly packed patch panels without disturbing adjacent ports. It ships as a single unit and is suited for data center, telecom room, and enterprise LAN deployment.

This patch cord is intended for use in OM4 multimode fiber infrastructures supporting high-bandwidth applications such as 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over short to medium distances. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for plenum-adjacent or enclosed-space installations where halogen-free materials are specified by local fire codes or project specifications. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed data communications contractors during structured cabling builds or equipment moves and changes.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth, short-reach data center applications
• 1.6mm cable diameter reduces bend radius and improves routing in dense enclosures
• LSZH jacket meets fire safety requirements for halogen-free installations
• Duplex 2-fiber configuration for full-duplex transceiver connections
• PushPull connector tab enables one-finger insertion and extraction in high-density panels
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on ferrule ends for reliable low-loss connectivity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM4 multimode fiber optic panels, cassettes, and transceivers using compatible duplex LC or matching connector interfaces as specified by the part number configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Before patching or unpatching, ensure connected equipment ports are not transmitting active laser signals. Inspect ferrule end faces with a fiber inspection scope prior to insertion, and never touch ferrule end faces with bare hands. Store dust caps on unused connectors to prevent contamination.
