Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices that require single-mode fiber optic links, such as between a media converter and a switch or within a data center's fiber distribution panel. Its 2-meter length makes it suitable for short-run connections in rack-mounted equipment or between adjacent devices.
Common applications include enterprise network backbones, telecommunications infrastructure, and any scenario where high-speed, long-distance data transmission is needed. The riser-rated jacket allows for safe installation in building riser spaces, complying with fire safety standards for vertical cable runs.
Data Center Interconnects
Use this cable to link switches, routers, or servers with SFP or SFP+ transceivers in data center environments, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity with minimal latency.
Media Converter Links
Connect media converters to network devices for converting between fiber optic and copper Ethernet, extending network reach while maintaining signal quality.
Physical Profile
The cable features a bright yellow jacket, which is standard for single-mode fiber optic cables, aiding in quick identification and differentiation from multimode cables in complex installations. The riser-rated OFNR jacket material provides flame resistance for use in vertical riser applications, meeting safety codes for building infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like in this cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit light in a single path, allowing for longer distances and higher bandwidth with less signal loss. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances. This cable's single-mode design makes it ideal for long-range network backbones and high-speed data transmission.
Can this cable be used outdoors or in plenum spaces?
This cable has a riser-rated (OFNR) jacket, which is suitable for indoor vertical riser applications but not for outdoor or plenum spaces. For outdoor use, you would need a cable with an outdoor-rated jacket, and for plenum spaces, a plenum-rated (OFNP) jacket is required to meet fire safety codes for air-handling areas.
What devices are compatible with LC to SC connectors?
LC to SC connectors are compatible with a wide range of network equipment, including switches, routers, media converters, and optical transceivers that use LC or SC interfaces. This cable is designed to connect devices with different connector types, providing flexibility in network design and integration.
Does this cable support high-speed data transmission?
Yes, this cable supports high-speed data transmission due to its single-mode OS2 fiber and APC connectors. It is suitable for applications requiring high bandwidth, such as Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and beyond, with low attenuation over long distances.
What is the purpose of the angled physical contact (APC) connectors?
APC connectors have an angled end face that reduces back reflection, which can cause signal degradation in fiber optic networks. This design improves optical performance by minimizing return loss, ensuring cleaner signal transmission and better data integrity in single-mode fiber systems.
Is this cable shielded against electromagnetic interference?
No, this cable does not have shielding because fiber optic cables are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Unlike copper cables, fiber optics transmit data using light, which is not affected by EMI, making them ideal for environments with high electrical noise or near power sources.
