Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM008 OM4 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM008 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It features a 1.6mm duplex cable construction with a PC (Physical Contact) polish on each connector end and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket rated for environments where smoke and toxic gas emission must be minimized. The push-pull connector design allows technicians to plug and unplug in tight-clearance patching environments without specialty extraction tools. This cord is sold as a single unit and is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and telecommunications room applications.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems that require OM4-rated multimode fiber, typically supporting 40G and 100G transmission over short to medium distances. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for plenum-adjacent or enclosed spaces where low-smoke materials are specified by code or building management. The push-pull connector mechanism is particularly well-suited for high-density fiber panels and cassettes where standard connector pull tabs are difficult to access. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or data center infrastructure teams.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G applications at standard reach distances
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for bidirectional data transmission
• 1.6mm cable diameter reduces bulk in high-density patching environments
• PC polish on connector end faces minimizes back-reflection at the interface
• LSZH jacket formulation limits smoke and halogen gas release in the event of fire
• Push-pull connector body allows one-handed extraction in confined patch fields

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM4 multimode fiber optic panels, cassettes, and active equipment ports accepting the corresponding connector interface in structured cabling and data center environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Inspect each connector end face with a fiber inspection scope before mating to confirm the PC-polished ferrule is clean and free of contamination. Always power down or disable active transceivers before disconnecting fiber links where laser sources are present. Route and secure cables to maintain bend radius requirements appropriate for 1.6mm fiber cord construction.
