Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OS2 standards to support high-bandwidth applications over extended distances. The Angled Physical Contact (APC) connectors ensure low insertion loss and back reflection, critical for maintaining signal integrity in sensitive optical networks.
The riser-rated OFNR jacket provides flame resistance and is suitable for vertical runs between floors, meeting safety requirements for indoor installations. The stranded construction enhances flexibility and durability, while molded strain relief protects the connector junctions from physical stress.
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.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable has a length of 6.6 ft, which is equivalent to 2 meters. This length is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, between adjacent devices, or in data center environments where precise cable management is required.
What type of connectors are on this fiber optic cable?
Both ends of this cable feature ALC Network - Male connectors, with two connectors per end in a duplex configuration. The connectors use Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish, which reduces back reflection and insertion loss for improved signal integrity in single-mode fiber applications.
Is this cable suitable for riser installations?
Yes, this cable has a riser-rated OFNR jacket, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in buildings. The OFNR rating indicates flame resistance, complying with safety standards for indoor riser applications to prevent fire spread.
What does OS2 fiber category mean for this cable?
OS2 refers to the fiber category, indicating it is optimized for single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. OS2 cables support high-bandwidth transmission over long distances with low attenuation, making them ideal for backbone and long-haul network links.
What is the color of this fiber patch cable and why?
This cable is yellow, which is the standard color for single-mode fiber optic cables. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification, helping network technicians distinguish it from multimode cables (typically orange or aqua) during installation and maintenance.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, this AddOn fiber patch cable includes a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term reliability and support for your network infrastructure investments.
