Panduit FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM024 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ELQ1Q1SNM024 is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord built for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. It features a 2-fiber, 1.6mm diameter construction with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for enclosed spaces where fire safety codes restrict halogen-based materials. The push-pull connector design allows technicians to seat and release connectors in high-density panels without specialized tools, reducing installation time and minimizing adjacent port disruption. OM4 glass supports high-bandwidth multimode transmission for backbone and horizontal runs in modern data center and enterprise network infrastructure.

This patch cord is used in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise LAN environments where OM4 multimode fiber is the installed plant standard. The LSZH jacket makes it well suited for plenum-adjacent or enclosed-space installations governed by fire safety regulations. The push-pull tab form factor is commonly deployed in high-density fiber patch panels where standard LC connector pull tabs are difficult to access. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 40G and 100G Ethernet over short distances
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for bidirectional data transmission
• 1.6mm cable diameter provides flexibility in tight cable management environments
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in confined or enclosed spaces
• Push-pull connector tab enables one-handed insertion and extraction in high-density patch panels
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on ferrule end-faces reduces back-reflection at the connector interface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for OM4 multimode fiber optic infrastructure, compatible with standard LC-style high-density push-pull panel systems used in structured cabling deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Always inspect and clean connector end-faces before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as excessive bending can damage the fiber core. Installations in commercial buildings should comply with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements and local fire code provisions governing LSZH jacket materials.
