Panduit NKFPX23RSSSM001 2-fiber OM3 Riser Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX23RSSSM001 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord built with a 3.0mm riser-rated jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cord carries optical signals between active equipment and patch panels in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial network environments. The OM3 multimode designation supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over laser-optimized 50-micron fiber. The riser jacket rating meets vertical-run fire code requirements for use in building risers and open-air cable pathways. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure specialists.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems where OM3 multimode fiber is the installed plant standard. Common applications include connecting switches, servers, and storage equipment to fiber patch panels in enterprise and commercial building environments. The riser-rated jacket makes it appropriate for vertical cable runs between floors where plenum rating is not required. The 3.0mm duplex construction provides durability for frequent connect and disconnect cycles at equipment ports.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in OM3 multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems with riser-rated cable pathways.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians should inspect connector end-faces for contamination before mating, as dirty connectors are the leading cause of optical signal loss. Power down or disable active ports on optical transceivers before disconnecting fiber to avoid exposure to laser light. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local building codes for cable routing, bend radius, and riser sleeve requirements. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during installation or in finished cable management.
