Panduit NKFPX23LSSSM004 2-fiber OM3 Duplex Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX23LSSSM004 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. It features a 3.0mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and air-handling areas where halogen-free materials are required by local fire and building codes. The OM3 multimode glass supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth protocols commonly used in data centers and telecom rooms. Licensed electricians and structured cabling technicians typically install this type of patch cord during network infrastructure builds or upgrades.

This patch cord is appropriate for horizontal or backbone fiber runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus environments. It connects active equipment to patch panels or switch ports in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards. The LSZH jacket specification makes it well suited for European building codes and domestic projects where halogen-free materials are required or specified by the engineer of record.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications
• 3.0mm LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in the event of fire
• 2-fiber duplex configuration for full-duplex data transmission
• Sold individually as a single assembly unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit patch cord for OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic panel and equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Fiber optic patch cords should be installed by qualified structured cabling technicians or licensed low-voltage contractors. Inspect both fiber end-faces for contamination before mating connectors, and clean per IEC 61300-3-35 guidelines. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss. Ensure the patch panel and equipment ports are powered down or traffic is migrated before disconnecting active links in a live network.
