Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM010 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM010 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling environments. It features a 1.6mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket rated for use in plenum and riser applications where low toxicity and smoke output matter. The push-pull connector design allows technicians to release the connector in tight, congested patch panels without requiring extra clearance for a traditional latch. Polished PC (Physical Contact) end-faces minimize back-reflection and insertion loss at each connection point. This cord is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and telecommunications room installations.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and backbone cabling runs where OM4 multimode performance is required, typically supporting 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications over short distances. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for installations in areas with limited ventilation, including European-standard environments and U.S. projects specifying low-emission materials. The 1.6mm slim-diameter construction helps manage cable density in high-port-count enclosures and patch panels. Installation is performed by network technicians and structured cabling professionals working in commercial and enterprise settings.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode glass supports high-bandwidth short-reach transmission including 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE
• Push-pull connector design enables release in congested, high-density patch panels without extra hand clearance
• LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of fire, meeting low-emission installation requirements
• 1.6mm slim jacket diameter reduces cable bulk and improves airflow management in dense enclosures
• PC-polished end-faces provide low insertion loss and reduced back-reflection at each connection
• Duplex 2-fiber construction supports full-duplex transmission over a single cord

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM4 multimode fiber optic systems utilizing LC-style push-pull connectors in structured cabling and data center environments.

Installation Notes

Fiber optic patch cords are installed by trained network or structured cabling technicians following TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards. Always inspect and clean connector end-faces before mating using an approved fiber optic cleaning tool. Never bend the cord beyond its minimum bend radius, and avoid pinching or kinking the jacket during cable management. Power down active transceivers before handling fiber connections where laser safety is a concern.
