Panduit NKFPX2ELLSSM002 2-fiber OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX2ELLSSM002 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. It features a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for environments where fire safety and air quality are critical concerns, such as data centers, plenum spaces, and transit facilities. The OM3 multimode fiber rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications over short to medium distances. This patch cord is installed by licensed low-voltage contractors, network infrastructure technicians, and data center cabling professionals.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems within commercial buildings, enterprise data centers, and telecommunications rooms. It is well suited for connecting active equipment to patch panels, switches, or fiber distribution units in high-density environments. The LSZH jacket construction makes it a preferred choice in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces where halogen-free materials are required by code or project specification.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• 1.6mm diameter LSZH jacket reduces toxic fume emission in the event of fire
• 2-fiber construction for duplex signal transmission
• Compact jacket diameter suits high-density cable management environments
• Sold as a single unit for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using LSZH-jacketed cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician following applicable structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568. Ensure all connected equipment is powered down or in a safe state before disconnecting active fiber links. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage. Inspect connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating to confirm cleanliness.
