Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable features duplex LC connectors on both ends, with each end terminating in two male LC connectors. The LC interface is a small form-factor connector widely used in high-density networking environments, offering reliable performance and easy insertion/removal. The cable uses physical contact (PC) polishing on the connectors to minimize signal loss and ensure optimal light transmission across the fiber core.
The OM3 fiber category is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fiber, supporting distances up to 300 meters. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry is standard for multi-mode applications, balancing cost and performance for short to medium-range links. The cable does not include shielding, as fiber optic cables are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for environments with high electrical noise.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines extended reach with high-performance fiber optics, offering a practical solution for network infrastructure that requires both distance and speed. The OFNR riser-rated jacket provides fire safety compliance for installations in plenum spaces, while the halogen-free material enhances safety by limiting toxic fume production.
Long-Distance Connectivity
The 114.8 ft length allows for flexible placement of network equipment, reducing the need for additional splices or extenders in large server rooms or between floors.
- 35 m reach
- Reduces splice points
- Flexible deployment
High-Speed Performance
OM3 multi-mode fiber supports 10 Gbit/s data rates, ensuring the cable can handle modern network traffic without becoming a bottleneck.
- 10 Gbit/s capable
- OM3 optimized
- Low signal loss
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC duplex patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications setups. It can link switches, routers, servers, patch panels, hubs, and media converters, providing a reliable fiber backbone for high-speed data transmission.
Common use cases include connecting SAN/NAS storage arrays to network switches, linking network switches in different racks, or patching fiber distribution panels in telecom rooms. The riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors, while the aqua color helps with quick identification of OM3 multi-mode cables in crowded cable management systems.
Data Center Patching
Use for direct connections between switches and servers or storage devices in high-density racks, leveraging the LC connectors' small footprint.
- High-density compatible
- Server-switch links
- Rack-to-rack connections
Enterprise Network Backbone
Deploy as part of the core network infrastructure to carry aggregated traffic between distribution layers, supported by the 10 Gbit/s throughput.
- Backbone links
- Aggregation layer
- Multi-floor runs
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored jacket, which is standard for OM3 multi-mode fiber, aiding in quick visual identification in complex cable bundles. With an approximate weight of 9.60 oz (272.16 g), it is lightweight enough for easy handling and installation without excessive bulk. The OFNR riser-rated jacket is durable and flame-retardant, suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations where fire codes require riser-rated cabling.

FAQ
What is the length of this fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable is 114.8 feet long, which equals 35 meters. This extended length is suitable for connections that span across rooms, between floors, or in large data centers where equipment is spaced apart.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature duplex LC connectors, with each end terminating in two male LC connectors. LC connectors are compact and widely used in high-density networking environments for reliable fiber optic connections.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This OM3 multi-mode fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for high-speed network applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it capable of handling bandwidth-intensive traffic.
What does the OFNR riser-rated jacket mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated. This jacket type is flame-retardant and suitable for vertical installations in riser spaces, such as between floors, where fire codes require cables to limit flame spread and smoke production.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this fiber optic cable does not have shielding. Fiber optic cables are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), so shielding is not necessary. This makes them ideal for use in environments with high electrical noise or near power cables.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including switches, routers, patch panels, hubs, media converters, and servers. It is designed for standard LC fiber interfaces commonly found in enterprise and data center equipment.
