Product Features
Technical Overview
This multi-mode duplex fiber cable operates with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM4 standards to support high-speed data transmission over its 65.6-foot length. The SC and LC connectors utilize Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing for low insertion loss and reliable signal integrity.
The cable's construction includes a standard boot type for strain relief and beige connectors that complement the aqua jacket. With no shielding required for its fiber optic design, it maintains signal purity while the fire-resistant PVC jacket ensures compliance with riser-rated safety protocols.
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 patch cable combines practical length with professional-grade components to simplify network infrastructure deployments. The OM4 rating ensures backward compatibility with OM3 and OM2 systems while providing headroom for future bandwidth requirements.
Connector Versatility
SC to LC configuration bridges equipment with different interface types, reducing the need for adapters in mixed-environment networks.
- SC male connector on one end
- LC male connector on opposite end
- Standard boot for protection
Safety Compliance
OFNR riser-rated jacket meets fire resistance standards for vertical runs between floors in plenum spaces.
- Fire-resistant PVC construction
- Suitable for riser applications
- Complies with building safety codes
Deployment / Use Cases
This 20-meter fiber patch cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices in data centers where SC and LC interfaces coexist. Its length provides flexibility in rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet installations without signal degradation.
The riser-rated OFNR jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs in building riser shafts, while the aqua color aids in quick identification within cable management systems. Network administrators deploy these cables for backbone connections, SAN extensions, and high-density patching environments requiring reliable OM4 performance.
Data Center Patching
Connect core networking equipment across racks with consistent OM4 bandwidth for server-to-switch links.
Building Infrastructure
Use in riser applications between floors where fire-rated cabling is mandated for safety compliance.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua green PVC jacket that provides both visual identification and durable protection. With an approximate weight of 1 pound, it maintains manageable handling during installation while the stranded construction allows for tight bends without compromising fiber integrity.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1 lb (453.59 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
This AddOn fiber patch cable measures 20 meters, which equals 65.6 feet. The length is specified in both metric and imperial units to accommodate different installation requirements and planning tools. This 20-meter span provides sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet connections in data center environments.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
One end features an SC male connector while the opposite end has an LC male connector. Both connectors utilize the Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing standard for minimal signal loss. This SC-to-LC configuration allows interconnection between equipment with different interface types without requiring additional adapters.
What does OM4 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber optic specification that supports higher bandwidth over longer distances compared to OM3 and OM2 cables. This rating ensures the cable can handle data rates up to 100 Gb/s at distances appropriate for data center applications while maintaining backward compatibility with existing OM3/OM2 infrastructure.
Is this cable suitable for riser applications?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR-rated jacket specifically designed for riser applications. The fire-resistant PVC construction meets safety standards for vertical runs between floors in building plenum spaces. This makes it appropriate for installations where cables pass through riser shafts or other vertical pathways.
What is the core/cladding specification?
The cable uses a 50/125 µm core/cladding configuration, which is standard for OM4 multi-mode fiber. The 50-micron core diameter provides optimal light transmission characteristics for high-speed data networks, while the 125-micron cladding ensures proper signal containment and minimal attenuation over the cable's 20-meter length.
What color is the cable and why does it matter?
This cable features an aqua green jacket, which is the standard color for OM4 multi-mode fiber optic cables. The distinctive color allows network technicians to quickly identify the cable type during installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. The beige connectors provide visual contrast while maintaining professional aesthetics in rack environments.
