Panduit Fusion Splice LC Connector, OM3/OM4/OM5, Aqua

Engineered for high-density data-center and enterprise fiber deployments, the Panduit Fusion Splice LC Connector delivers reliable, fusion-spliced LC connections for OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode networks. This Aqua-coded LC connector is designed to work with 50/125 µm multimode fiber, supporting both 900-µm tight-buffered and 250-µm loose-tube fiber installations. It provides a fast, field-terminable solution that helps minimize downtime and labor costs while delivering consistent optical performance across a broad range of applications. Built to integrate seamlessly with Panduit’s robust fiber management ecosystem, this connector combines durable materials, precise alignment, and color-coding that simplifies inventory control, installation, and ongoing maintenance in demanding networks.

  • Om3/Om4/Om5 compatibility: Multimode 50/125 µm fiber support with a fusion-splice LC connector designed for OM3, OM4, and OM5 networks, enabling scalable upgrades and flexible deployments.
  • Fast field termination: Field termination can be completed in about two minutes using common fusion splice machines (not sold by Panduit), reducing on-site downtime and improving project throughput.
  • Fiber compatibility flexibility: Suitable for 900-µm tight-buffered or 250-µm loose-tube fiber, offering installers flexibility in cable preparation and routing without special tooling.
  • Aqua identification: Distinctive Aqua color-coding helps engineers and technicians quickly identify OM3/OM4/OM5 connectors in dense cable plants, supporting organized patching and troubleshooting.
  • Reliable performance: Precision alignment and robust ferrule design support low insertion loss and high return loss, delivering stable, repeatable results in high-traffic networks.

Technical Details of Panduit Fusion Splice LC Connector, OM3/OM4/OM5, Aqua

  • Product type: Fusion-splice LC fiber optic connector
  • Fiber type compatibility: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM3/OM4/OM5)
  • Fiber diameter compatibility: 900 µm tight-buffered and 250 µm loose-tube
  • Color code: Aqua
  • Termination method: Fusion splice (field termination)
  • Typical installation time: Approximately 2 minutes with standard fusion splicers
  • End-face geometry: Designed for reliable polishing and stable optical performance with LC ferrules

how to install Panduit Fusion Splice LC Connector

  • Prepare the fiber: Begin by selecting the appropriate fiber type (OM3/OM4/OM5) and verify the jacket and buffer are suitable for 900-µm tight-buffered or 250-µm loose-tube installations. Use a clean, fiber-safe workspace and ensure you have the correct tools for stripping, cleaning, and cleaving.
  • Strip and clean: Carefully strip the fiber jacket to expose the correct buffer thickness, then clean the exposed fiber ends with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes. Inspect the fiber endface for any scrapes or contamination that could affect splice quality.
  • Prepare the connector assembly: Assemble the LC connector components as required by the fusion-splice process you are using, ensuring the fiber is properly aligned for the fusion splice and that the connector is ready to receive the fiber once terminated.
  • Perform the fusion splice: Place the prepared fiber end into the fusion splicer following the device’s standard operating procedure. Run the fusion splice to join the fiber to the connector or ferrule according to the splice machine’s instructions, observing recommended fusion parameters for OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode fiber.
  • Inspect and verify: After the splice, inspect the termination under a microscope to confirm a clean end-face geometry and proper alignment. Perform a basic optical test (continuity and loss measurement) with appropriate equipment to verify that the connector meets your network’s performance requirements. Label and package the terminated connector for installation into patch panels or adapters.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What fiber types does this connector support?
  • A: It supports multimode 50/125 µm fiber for OM3, OM4, and OM5 networks, compatible with 900-µm tight-buffered and 250-µm loose-tube installations.
  • Q: How long does field termination take?
  • A: Field termination typically takes about two minutes when using standard fusion splicing equipment, enabling rapid deployment in the field.
  • Q: Does it require special tools from Panduit?
  • A: No special Panduit tools are required; standard fusion splicer equipment and common fiber preparation tools are used for termination.
  • Q: What is the benefit of the Aqua color code?
  • A: The Aqua color coding helps technicians quickly identify OM3/OM4/OM5 connectors within dense patch panels and cable trays, simplifying maintenance and reducing installation errors.
  • Q: What kind of performance can I expect?
  • A: You can expect reliable, repeatable optical performance with low insertion loss and good return loss due to precise ferrule alignment and robust connector construction, suitable for high-traffic data-center and enterprise networks.

Not too thick and durable and sturdy.
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 24"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack
Just before I purchased these 3 I bought 2 sets of 2 larger ones. The color is exactly what I was needing. They are packaged together so no scratches or damage. My husband (the installer) says they are easy enough to install. They are perfect for a diy update, durable and hold plenty of weight for their size. Happy happy customer

Good quality for the price
Color: Black, Size: 30"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 30"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack
Seamless floating shelves that look and feel great. I opted to use different drywall anchors since I didn't trust the ones that came with the product. I have bad drywall and no studs where I was mounting so that doesn't fall back onto the product. The shelves are true to size and have held up great. The shelves themselves aren't too heavy so it leaves some room to add weight onto them. I used the 30in long shelf on the left and 24in long shelf on the right to create a nice corner shelf. There are additional screws on the bottom the keep the shelves from moving off the bracket.
