FAQ
What types of devices can I connect with this SC to LC patch cable?
This patch cable is designed to connect equipment with SC ports to devices with LC ports, commonly used in network environments. It supports patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network devices that require fiber optic interconnections. The duplex configuration allows simultaneous bidirectional data transfer, making it suitable for linking different interface types across your network infrastructure.
What does the OM2 fiber category mean for this cable?
OM2 is a multimode fiber optic standard that supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s over distances appropriate for this cable's 3.3 ft length. It features a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, which balances performance and cost for short-run applications. OM2 fiber is widely used in enterprise networks for backbone connections, providing reliable throughput without the expense of higher-grade fibers for typical patch cable distances.
Is this cable suitable for installation in building riser shafts?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR riser-rated jacket, which meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser shafts. The riser rating ensures the jacket material resists flame propagation and limits smoke emission, making it safe for use between floors in commercial buildings. This compliance allows deployment in multi-story network setups where cables run through riser spaces.
What are the key durability features of this patch cable?
The cable includes molded connectors, pull-resistant design, strain relief, and impact-resistant construction to enhance longevity. These features protect against physical stress during installation, maintenance, and routine handling. The halogen-free materials add safety by reducing toxic smoke in case of fire, while physical contact (PC) polishing ensures optimal optical performance and connector reliability over time.
How does the duplex design benefit network performance?
Duplex fiber optic cables contain two separate fibers, one for transmitting data and one for receiving, enabling full-duplex communication. This allows simultaneous bidirectional data flow, which is essential for modern network protocols that require continuous send and receive channels. The design supports efficient data transfer without collisions, improving network throughput and reliability in active connections.
What warranty coverage does this AddOn patch cable include?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects confidence in the cable's construction and performance, offering long-term assurance for network investments. It supports reliable deployment in critical environments where cable failure could disrupt network operations.
