Panduit FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM015 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM015 is an OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and structured cabling environments. Built with a 1.6mm cordage diameter and rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) for in-building vertical runs, this cable features a push-pull connector design that simplifies installation and removal in tight, congested patch panels. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive paths over multimode OM4 fiber, making it well suited for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications where low insertion loss and consistent performance are required.

This patch cable is intended for use in commercial and enterprise structured cabling installations, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and equipment rooms. The OFNR rating qualifies it for riser-rated pathways between floors without requiring conduit. Network technicians and low-voltage installers typically deploy this cable to interconnect switches, servers, patch panels, and active equipment in high-density fiber enclosures where the push-pull tab allows fast, tool-free connector extraction without disturbing adjacent cables.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G transmission standards
• 1.6mm duplex cordage construction reduces bulk in high-density enclosures
• OFNR riser rating meets NEC requirements for in-building vertical cable runs
• Push-pull connector design enables tool-free removal in congested patch fields
• Duplex configuration provides simultaneous bidirectional signal paths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment patch cable for OM4 multimode fiber optic systems using compatible push-pull style duplex connectors in riser-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables to avoid exposure to laser light. Use the push-pull tab to seat and release connectors rather than pulling on the cordage itself to avoid damaging ferrules or the cable jacket. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines to maintain signal integrity.
