Panduit NKFPX23RSSSM015 2-fiber OM3 Fiber Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX23RSSSM015 is a 2-fiber multimode OM3 fiber optic patch cord with a 3.0mm riser-rated jacket. Designed for structured cabling and data network applications, this patch cord transmits optical signals between active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units. The OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications at standard 850nm wavelengths, making it suitable for 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet deployments over appropriate distances. The riser jacket rating (OFNR) qualifies it for vertical cable runs between floors in commercial buildings without requiring plenum-rated cable. Installation is handled by licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals.

This patch cord fits structured cabling environments in commercial and enterprise settings. It is suited for connections within telecommunications rooms, data centers, and equipment rooms where riser-rated fiber runs are required between patch panels and active network equipment. The 3.0mm jacket diameter provides added durability and easier handling compared to 2.0mm slim-style cords, making it a practical choice for busy patch fields and frequently accessed panels.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet at 850nm
• Riser-rated (OFNR) jacket approved for vertical intrabuilding cable runs
• 3.0mm jacket diameter for durability and ease of handling in dense patch environments
• 2-fiber configuration for standard duplex optical connections
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with OM3 multimode fiber optic ports, panels, and adapters in structured cabling systems requiring riser-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Deactivate or power down connected active equipment before handling fiber connections to protect optical transceivers and avoid exposure to laser light. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or fiber damage. Inspect connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope before mating to ensure a clean optical connection.
