Panduit FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM045 OM4 Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2ERQ1Q1SNM045 is a 2-fiber OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling environments. Constructed with a 1.6mm diameter cable and rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) for vertical-run fire code compliance, this patch cord features a push-pull connector style for secure, tool-free insertion and extraction in tight cable management spaces. It is used by low-voltage cabling contractors, network installers, and data center technicians for backbone and horizontal fiber runs where OM4 multimode performance is required.

This patch cord is suited for residential and commercial structured cabling projects, data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network installations. The OM4 multimode fiber rating supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over appropriate link distances. The push-pull tab design makes it practical for high-density patch panels and fiber enclosures where conventional connector release mechanisms are difficult to access. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for bidirectional transmission
• 1.6mm cable diameter suits high-density routing and bend-radius requirements
• OFNR-rated jacket meets riser fire code requirements for vertical installations
• Push-pull connector mechanism allows fast, tool-free insertion and extraction in dense panels
• PC (Physical Contact) polish on ferrule end-faces minimizes back-reflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for OM4 multimode fiber optic panels, enclosures, and equipment ports using compatible push-pull style connectors in riser-rated cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians following TIA-568 and BICSI cabling standards. De-energize or power down connected active equipment before disturbing fiber connections to protect optical transceivers. Observe minimum bend radius requirements for the 1.6mm cable during routing to avoid signal loss. Use appropriate dust caps when ports are not in use and inspect ferrule end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating.
