Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes multi-mode OM2 fiber, optimized for short to medium-distance high-speed data transmission. The duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive channels, ensuring full-duplex communication without interference.
The connectors are molded with physical contact (PC) polishing for low insertion loss and high return loss, critical for maintaining signal integrity. Strain relief and pull-resistant features enhance durability, reducing the risk of damage during installation or routine handling.
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 is 9.8 feet long, which is equivalent to 3 meters. This length is ideal for short to medium-distance connections within data centers, server racks, or between network equipment in office environments, providing enough reach without excessive slack.
What types of connectors does this cable have on each end?
One end of the cable has 2 x LC male connectors, while the other end has 2 x ST male connectors. This ST to LC configuration allows you to connect devices with different interface types, such as linking legacy ST-based equipment to modern LC-based switches or patch panels.
What is the fiber category and mode of this patch cable?
This cable uses OM2 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM2 is designed for multi-mode applications, supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s over short to medium distances, making it suitable for LAN and data center environments.
Is this cable riser-rated, and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable has a riser-rated OFNR jacket. Riser-rated cables are designed for vertical installations in building risers or shafts, as they meet fire safety standards to prevent flame spread between floors. OFNR indicates it is suitable for non-conductive riser applications.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this fiber cable?
This fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). This speed is sufficient for most enterprise networking needs, including connecting switches, routers, and servers in gigabit Ethernet networks, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, this AddOn fiber patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your network infrastructure investments.
