Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable operates on single-mode fiber with OS2 classification, supporting high bandwidth and long-distance transmission up to 10 km or more depending on network equipment. The 9/125 µm core/cladding specification is standard for single-mode applications, minimizing signal attenuation and dispersion for clear data integrity.
The LC connectors provide a small form factor ideal for high-density patching in racks and panels, with a secure latching mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections. The cable lacks shielding, which is typical for fiber optics as they are immune to electromagnetic interference, ensuring data security without additional protection layers.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines essential features for dependable network performance and safety compliance. The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets fire-resistance standards for use in building risers and plenums, reducing flame spread and smoke emission in case of fire.
Durability and Flexibility
Stranded construction allows the cable to withstand repeated bending and handling without compromising fiber integrity, making it ideal for frequent reconfigurations in dynamic network environments.
- Resists kinking and fatigue
- Maintains signal quality over time
Optical Performance
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish on the LC connectors ensures minimal back reflection and insertion loss, optimizing signal strength and reducing data errors in high-speed networks.
- Low insertion loss
- High return loss
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC patch cable is versatile for various networking scenarios where single-mode fiber is required. Its 15-meter length provides ample reach for connecting equipment across server racks, between floors, or in extended campus networks.
Common applications include linking switches to routers, connecting fiber transceivers in data centers, and extending network backbones in enterprise or telecom setups. The yellow color aids in quick identification and cable management, while the riser-rated jacket ensures compliance for installations in riser shafts and air-handling spaces.
Data Center Patching
Use for high-density connections between network devices, supporting 10G, 40G, or higher speeds with low latency and reliable performance.
Building Infrastructure
Ideal for vertical runs between floors, leveraging the OFNR rating for fire safety in riser applications without compromising network integrity.
Physical Profile
The cable features a yellow PVC jacket that is both durable and easy to identify in complex cabling systems. With an approximate weight of 12.80 oz (362.87 g), it remains lightweight for easy handling and installation. The blue LC connectors provide a visual contrast, aiding in quick connector identification during maintenance or upgrades.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable is 49.2 feet long, which equals 15 meters. This length is suitable for connecting network equipment across moderate distances, such as between server racks or across rooms in data centers, without requiring additional splicing or extenders.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends of this cable feature LC male connectors. LC connectors are a small form factor commonly used in high-density networking environments, providing a secure latch mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections and ensuring reliable optical connections for single-mode fiber applications.
Is this cable single-mode or multimode?
This is a single-mode fiber patch cable. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with a smaller core size (9/125 µm), allowing a single light mode to travel with minimal attenuation. It is ideal for high-speed networks over extended distances, such as in telecom or enterprise backbones.
What does the OS2 fiber category mean?
OS2 refers to the optical fiber category that meets specifications for single-mode fiber with low attenuation and high bandwidth. OS2 cables are suitable for long-haul applications, supporting transmission distances up to 10 km or more, and are commonly used in outdoor or backbone installations where performance over distance is critical.
What is the jacket rating of this cable?
The jacket is rated as OFNR, which stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser. This riser-rated jacket is fire-resistant and designed for use in vertical runs (risers) within buildings, reducing flame spread and smoke emission. It complies with safety standards for installations in plenums and air-handling spaces.
What warranty does this AddOn fiber patch cable come with?
This cable comes with a 3-year limited warranty from AddOn. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing assurance of quality and reliability for network deployments. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and performance in professional environments.
