Panduit FZ2RPU1U1ONM2.5 OM4 Lc Uniboot Patch Cord 2.5M

Product Description

The PANDUIT FZ2RPU1U1ONM2.5 is a 2-fiber OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cord built with an LC uniboot connector and a 2mm plenum-rated (OFNP) jacket. The uniboot design consolidates both fibers into a single connector housing, reducing bulk in high-density patching environments. OM4 multimode glass supports 40G and 100G applications over appropriate distances. The physical contact (PC) polish on the ferrules delivers reliable signal transmission with low insertion loss. This patch cord is sized at 2.5 meters and is a standard unit-of-measure single-piece item suited for data center and structured cabling installations.

This patch cord is used in high-density fiber distribution panels, horizontal cabling runs, and equipment-room cross-connects where rack space is limited. The OFNP plenum jacket rating makes it compliant for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, as required by NEC Article 770. It is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, data center infrastructure technicians, and network installers working in commercial or enterprise environments.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G Ethernet applications
• LC uniboot connector consolidates duplex fiber into a single compact housing for high-density patching
• OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 770 requirements for air-handling space installations
• Physical contact (PC) ferrule polish minimizes back reflection and insertion loss
• 2mm jacket diameter reduces cable bulk in congested trays and panels
• 2.5-meter length provides flexible reach for equipment-to-patch-panel connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for LC duplex uniboot-compatible fiber optic panels, switches, and transceivers utilizing OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Power down or disable active optical transceivers before disconnecting or connecting fiber patch cords to prevent eye hazard and equipment damage. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius during routing through trays or conduit. Follow NEC Article 770 guidelines when installing OFNP-rated cables in plenum air-handling spaces.
