Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM021 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM021 is a 2-fiber OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and structured cabling environments. Built with a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, it meets strict indoor air-plenum and safety code requirements where halogen-free materials are mandated. The PushPull tab connector design allows technicians to route and remove cables in tightly packed patch panels without disturbing adjacent connections. This cable is suited for 10G, 40G, and 100G multimode fiber runs where consistent insertion loss and reliable polishing are critical to link performance.

This patch cable is used in commercial and enterprise network installations, data centers, and telecommunications rooms. The OM4 multimode fiber classification supports high-bandwidth applications over laser-optimized 50-micron glass. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for installations in enclosed spaces, transportation infrastructure, and any environment where local codes restrict PVC-jacketed cables. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this type of assembly.

Key Features

• OM4 laser-optimized 50-micron multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G applications
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for bidirectional data transmission
• 1.6mm LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen emissions in enclosed spaces
• PushPull connector tab enables one-handed removal in high-density panels
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on ferrules minimizes back-reflection and insertion loss

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with OM4-compatible fiber optic ports, panels, and enclosures in multimode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians following TIA-568 and ISO 11801 structured cabling standards. Deactivate active equipment on the port before connecting or disconnecting fiber to prevent eye hazard from live laser sources. Use the PushPull tab rather than pulling on the cable jacket when removing connectors from dense patch panels. Inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber scope before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss.
