Panduit NKFPX23LSSSM005 2-fiber OM3 Lszh Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX23LSSSM005 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and data center environments. The cord features a 3.0mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suited for use in plenum, riser, and enclosed spaces where fire and smoke emission standards must be met. LSZH jacketing reduces toxic gas output during a fire event, a requirement in many commercial building codes and international installations. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades that handle this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is intended for use in fiber optic network installations requiring OM3 laser-optimized multimode performance. Typical applications include backbone and horizontal runs in data centers, telecommunications rooms, enterprise LAN environments, and any facility where halogen-free cabling materials are specified. It ships as a single unit and is handled as a hardware accessory within structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth, laser-optimized transmission
• 2-fiber configuration for duplex communication links
• 3.0mm LSZH jacket meets halogen-free and low-smoke requirements for enclosed and code-sensitive spaces
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward inventory and deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for OM3 multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems requiring LSZH-jacketed patch cords.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local building codes. Before servicing active fiber links, disable the connected optical transceivers or power down the associated network equipment to prevent eye hazard from live laser sources. Handle fiber connectors with care to avoid contamination at the ferrule face, and use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools prior to mating. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for the cable during routing.
