Panduit FZ2ERLNSNSNM044 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord Lc

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ERLNSNSNM044 is an OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. Built on a 1.6mm zipcord jacket rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), it features LC duplex connectors on both ends with a physical contact (PC) polish. OM4 glass supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, making this cord a fit for backbone runs, equipment rooms, and data center cross-connects where bandwidth and low insertion loss matter. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers.

This patch cord is suited for indoor riser-rated environments including telecommunications rooms, equipment closets, and data center patch fields. The LC duplex form factor is common in switches, transceivers, and fiber distribution panels found in enterprise, healthcare, and industrial network infrastructure. The 1.6mm zipcord construction keeps the cable manageable in high-density trays and panels without excessive bulk.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode glass supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications at appropriate distances
• LC duplex connectors on both ends with PC polish for reliable physical contact termination
• 1.6mm zipcord OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire code requirements for indoor vertical runs
• 2-fiber configuration provides full duplex transmit and receive in a single cord
• Compact LC footprint compatible with high-density fiber panels and small-form-factor transceivers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for OM4 multimode fiber optic systems using LC duplex interfaces in riser-rated indoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or qualified network infrastructure professional. Power down or disable the associated optical transceiver port before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords to avoid eye hazard from active laser sources. Inspect and clean LC ferrules with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Route in accordance with the minimum bend radius requirements for the cable jacket and follow applicable codes including ANSI/TIA-568 and local building codes for riser-rated pathways.
