FAQ
What is the length of this fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable measures 3.3 feet, which is equivalent to 1 meter. This compact length makes it ideal for short interconnections within network racks, between adjacent equipment, or for patch panel terminations where minimal slack is preferred for clean cable management.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends feature FC network male connectors. Each end has two FC male connectors in a duplex configuration, providing separate transmit and receive channels. The threaded coupling mechanism ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections that won't accidentally disconnect in high-traffic network environments.
What does OS2 single-mode fiber mean for this cable?
OS2 designates the fiber category optimized for single-mode transmission with low attenuation over long distances. Single-mode fiber uses a smaller core (9µm) to transmit a single light mode, enabling higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to multimode fiber. This makes the cable suitable for backbone connections and applications requiring transmission over greater distances.
What is the significance of the OFNR riser-rated jacket?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated. This certification indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser spaces (shafts between floors). The riser-rated construction prevents flame propagation between floors, making it compliant with building codes for vertical cable runs while the halogen-free material reduces toxic emissions during fire events.
Which network devices is this cable compatible with?
This fiber patch cable is fully compatible with various network equipment including hubs, switches, patch panels, media converters, and routers that feature FC fiber optic interfaces. The duplex configuration supports standard bidirectional communication, while the single-mode OS2 fiber works with equipment designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission.
What warranty comes with this AddOn fiber patch cable?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber optic patch cable. This extensive warranty coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability and performance, offering long-term protection against defects in materials and workmanship for the cable's usable life in your network infrastructure.
