Panduit FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM018 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM018 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable with a 1.6mm duplex round cordage design and push-pull style connectors. Rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), it is built for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. The physical contact (PC) polished ferrules provide low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors use this cable to interconnect equipment in patch panels, switches, and fiber distribution units.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and riser runs in commercial buildings where OFNR-rated cabling is required by code. Its push-pull connector design simplifies high-density panel work, allowing technicians to route and remove individual cables in tightly packed enclosures without disturbing adjacent connections. OM4 glass supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over multimode infrastructure.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode glass fiber supports high-bandwidth data transmission including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet
• OFNR riser fire rating meets building code requirements for vertical and riser pathway installations
• Push-pull connector housing enables single-hand insertion and removal in high-density patch environments
• 1.6mm duplex cordage provides a compact, low-profile cable form factor for dense enclosures
• Physical contact (PC) polished ferrules deliver consistent low-loss optical connections
• 2-fiber duplex configuration supports full-duplex transmit and receive on a single cable assembly

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or registered communications distribution designer (RCDD). Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber optic cables, and never look directly into a fiber end or live port. Follow TIA-568 and local building codes for bend radius, cable management, and riser pathway requirements. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling tension, which can degrade optical performance or damage the fiber.
