Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMM) with a core/cladding specification of 50/125 µm, optimized for OM4 performance to support data rates up to 100 Gb/s over short to medium distances. The duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive channels, essential for full-duplex communication in modern network equipment.
Connectors are precision-terminated with Physical Contact (PC) polish for low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring signal integrity. The pull-resistant and impact-resistant design enhances durability during installation and maintenance, reducing the risk of connector damage in high-density patching environments.
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 cable length and why is it important?
The cable is 13.1 feet (4 meters) long, providing sufficient reach for typical patching applications in data centers or server rooms. This length allows flexible routing between adjacent racks or devices without excessive slack, reducing clutter and maintaining optimal signal performance over short distances.
What does OM4 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM4 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber category that supports high data rates, such as 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE, over distances up to 150 meters. It ensures low attenuation and high bandwidth, making this cable suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications in modern network infrastructures.
What are the connector types on each end?
One end has two LC male connectors, and the other end has two ST male connectors. This duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive channels, allowing the cable to connect devices with different interface types, such as linking LC-based equipment to ST-based panels or converters.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this cable does not have shielding. It is designed for use in controlled environments like data centers where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The lack of shielding reduces weight and cost while maintaining performance for typical fiber optic applications.
What is the jacket rating and why does it matter?
The jacket is rated OFNR (Riser), which means it meets fire safety standards for use in vertical runs between floors. This rating ensures the cable does not propagate flames, enhancing safety in building installations and complying with electrical codes for riser applications.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment. The ST and LC connectors are industry-standard, ensuring interoperability with most fiber optic interfaces in enterprise and data center environments.
