User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable measures 16.4 ft, which is equivalent to 5 meters. This length is suitable for medium-distance connections within network racks, data centers, or between adjacent equipment, providing flexibility without excessive cable slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features LC connectors on both ends, with male gender specifications. Both connectors are LC Network - Male type, ensuring a secure and standardized interface for connecting fiber optic network devices like switches, routers, or servers.
Is this cable OM4 rated and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is OM4 rated, indicating it meets the industry standard for multi-mode fiber optic cables. OM4 supports high bandwidth and longer distances compared to older categories, making it ideal for high-speed data transfers in modern network environments such as data centers or enterprise networks.
What is the jacket rating and color of this cable?
The jacket is riser-rated OFNR in aqua green color. The OFNR rating means it is fire-resistant and suitable for use in riser applications (vertical runs) within buildings, complying with safety codes. The aqua color helps with quick visual identification in network setups.
Does this cable have shielding?
No, this cable does not have shielding. For fiber optic cables like this OM4 patch cable, shielding is often not required as the fiber itself is immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for environments where electrical noise is a concern without additional protection.
What warranty is offered with this product?
