Deployment / Use Cases
This SC to LC patch cable is versatile for various network scenarios where equipment with different connector types needs interconnection.
In data centers, it connects fiber patch panels to switches or routers with LC ports. For enterprise networks, it links media converters between copper and fiber segments, or connects hubs and switches in server rooms. The riser-rated OFNR jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, while the 3-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-rack distances.
Physical Profile
The cable features a standard duplex fiber optic profile with an orange OFNR riser-rated jacket that provides flame resistance for vertical installations. At 6.40 oz (181.44 g), it remains lightweight for easy handling and cable management. The compact LC and SC connectors allow high-density patching in confined spaces without sacrificing performance.

FAQ
What devices is this fiber patch cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network equipment featuring SC or LC fiber ports, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network devices. The SC to LC configuration allows interconnection between equipment with different connector types commonly found in data centers and enterprise networks.
What does OFNR riser-rated mean for installation?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) indicates the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for riser applications. This rating allows vertical installation between floors in building riser spaces, as the jacket material resists flame propagation and produces limited smoke, complying with building codes for commercial installations.
What is the difference between OM2 and other fiber categories?
OM2 is a multi-mode fiber category supporting distances up to 82 meters for 1 Gigabit Ethernet. Compared to OM1 (62.5/125 µm), OM2 uses 50/125 µm fiber for better bandwidth. It provides cost-effective performance for short to medium distances, while OM3/OM4 offer higher bandwidth for longer distances with 10G+ applications.
Why does this cable have two connectors on each end?
The duplex configuration includes two separate fibers (and connectors) on each end—one for transmitting data and one for receiving. This enables full-duplex communication where data flows simultaneously in both directions, which is essential for modern network equipment that requires separate transmit and receive channels for optimal performance.
What advantages do Physical Contact (PC) connectors provide?
Physical Contact connectors have polished end faces that mate precisely when connected, minimizing the air gap between fibers. This reduces back reflection (return loss) and insertion loss, resulting in better signal integrity and more reliable data transmission compared to older connector types with larger air gaps.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial applications?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use only. The OFNR riser-rated jacket is intended for vertical riser applications within buildings. For outdoor installations, you would need cables with outdoor-rated jackets that provide UV resistance and moisture protection, which this model does not include.
