Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes OM3-grade multi-mode fiber optimized for 10 GbE applications with a 50/125 µm core size. The duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive channels in a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
The cable features stranded construction for flexibility during routing, with male LC connectors on one end and male SC connectors on the opposite end. Each connector pair maintains precise alignment through Physical Contact (PC) polishing, delivering consistent performance across network devices.
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 AddOn patch cable delivers reliable fiber connectivity with several distinct advantages for network professionals. The OM3 rating ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards, while the precise connector alignment minimizes signal loss for consistent data transmission.
Safety-Rated Jacket
The LSZH/OFNR jacket meets plenum and riser safety standards, making this cable suitable for installation in air handling spaces and vertical risers where fire safety is critical.
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen
- OFNR Riser-Rated
- Plenum-rated compliance
Optimized Connectivity
Physical Contact (PC) connectors provide reliable mating with network equipment, while the laser-optimized multi-mode fiber ensures efficient light transmission for data-intensive applications.
- PC polished connectors
- Laser-optimized OM3 fiber
- Low insertion loss
Deployment / Use Cases
This SC to LC patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment with different interface types in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments. The 1-meter length provides flexibility for short runs between adjacent racks or within equipment enclosures.
Common applications include connecting fiber switches with SC ports to SFP modules with LC interfaces, linking storage area network (SAN) equipment, and patching between media converters. The riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, while the plenum rating allows installation in air handling spaces where required by local codes.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This AddOn patch cable measures 3.3 feet, which equals 1 meter. This length is ideal for short connections between network equipment in racks, patch panels, or adjacent devices where minimal cable management is desired while maintaining signal integrity.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features male LC connectors on one end and male SC connectors on the opposite end. Each end has two connectors in a duplex configuration—one for transmit and one for receive—providing complete bidirectional communication in a single cable assembly.
What does OM3 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM3 indicates laser-optimized multi-mode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters. This AddOn cable uses 50/125 µm core fiber that is specifically optimized for use with vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) sources common in modern network equipment.
Is this cable suitable for plenum installations?
Yes, this cable features an LSZH/OFNR jacket that meets both plenum and riser safety ratings. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen material minimizes toxic fumes in fire situations, making it suitable for installation in air handling spaces (plenums) and vertical risers between floors as required by building codes.
What is the warranty on this AddOn fiber patch cable?
AddOn provides a 3-year limited lifetime warranty for this fiber patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing assurance of quality and reliability for network infrastructure deployments.
What color is this fiber optic cable and why does it matter?
This cable has an aqua-colored jacket, which falls within the green color family. In fiber optic standards, aqua specifically identifies OM3 multi-mode fiber, helping network technicians quickly distinguish it from other fiber types (like orange for OM1/OM2 or yellow for single-mode) during installation and maintenance.
