Description

The PANDUIT NKFPX2ELLLSM005 is a 2-fiber OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cord with a 1.6mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cord supports high-speed data transmission in environments where halogen-free materials are required by fire safety codes or building specifications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this cord to connect active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial building networks. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, making it well suited for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

This patch cord is intended for indoor structured cabling applications in commercial and enterprise environments. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth protocols including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is commonly deployed in horizontal and backbone runs between switches, routers, and fiber patch panels. The duplex configuration provides simultaneous bidirectional transmission over two fiber strands. Installations requiring compliance with LSZH material standards in plenum or riser pathways, particularly in European or internationally specified projects, are typical use cases for this cord.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic systems using compatible LC, SC, or other standard fiber connectors as specified by the end connector configuration of this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure installer familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Deactivate or power down connected active equipment before disconnecting or connecting fiber patch cords to prevent optical exposure hazards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage. Inspect ferrules and clean connectors with approved fiber optic cleaning tools before mating to ensure insertion loss remains within acceptable limits.
