Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, making it suitable for long-distance network applications where high bandwidth and low attenuation are required. The OS2 fiber category supports gigabit and higher data rates over extended runs, ideal for backbone connections, data centers, and enterprise networks.
The LC connectors are male on both ends, providing a secure, push-pull latching mechanism that is widely compatible with SFP, SFP+, and other LC-based transceivers and network equipment. The cable's riser-rated OFNR jacket is made of fire-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), allowing for installation in vertical riser spaces without conduit as per applicable fire codes.
Key Product Advantages
This AddOn fiber patch cable combines essential performance features with practical installation benefits. The single-mode OS2 fiber ensures reliable data transmission over longer distances compared to multimode alternatives, while the UPC polished connectors minimize signal reflection for cleaner optical links.
Fire Safety Compliance
The OFNR riser-rated jacket meets fire resistance standards for vertical installations, providing peace of mind in commercial and data center environments where cable fire safety is regulated.
Durable Construction
Stranded cable design offers superior flexibility for routing through cable trays, racks, and conduits without compromising the fiber integrity, reducing installation time and effort.
Visual Identification
The bright yellow jacket with blue connectors allows for quick visual identification in dense network environments, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting.
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC fiber patch cable is engineered for professional network environments where reliable, high-performance fiber connectivity is essential. Its single-mode OS2 specification makes it particularly suitable for backbone connections between network switches, routers, and servers in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Common applications include connecting SFP/SFP+ transceivers in network equipment, patching fiber distribution panels, establishing links in fiber-to-the-desktop installations, and extending network segments in campus or building-to-building scenarios. The riser-rated jacket allows deployment in vertical riser spaces without additional conduit, simplifying compliance with fire safety codes in multi-story buildings.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches, servers, and storage arrays across racks or rows with reliable single-mode fiber that maintains signal integrity over longer distances typical in data center environments.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Establish high-bandwidth connections between network closets, distribution frames, and core switches where OS2 single-mode fiber provides the necessary performance for growing network demands.
Physical Profile
The cable features a bright yellow Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket with blue LC connectors, providing clear visual identification in network installations. With a total length of 16.4 feet (5 meters) and approximate weight of 4.80 ounces (136.08 grams), this patch cable offers sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch panel connections while remaining lightweight for easy handling and management.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber?
Single-mode fiber has a smaller core (9/125 µm) that allows only one mode of light to propagate, enabling longer transmission distances with lower attenuation compared to multimode fiber. This AddOn cable uses single-mode OS2 fiber, making it ideal for backbone connections and long-distance network links where signal integrity over extended runs is critical.
What does OS2 fiber category mean?
OS2 (Optical Single-mode 2) is a fiber category specification for single-mode fiber cables that supports transmission over longer distances with lower attenuation. OS2 fiber is designed for outdoor and indoor use with loose tube or tight buffer constructions, providing reliable performance for high-bandwidth applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure.
What are UPC connectors and why are they important?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors feature a curved end-face polish that creates more physical contact between fiber ends, resulting in lower insertion loss and higher return loss compared to standard PC connectors. This AddOn cable uses UPC-polished LC connectors to minimize signal reflection and optimize optical performance for reliable network connections.
What does riser-rated OFNR jacket mean?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) is a fire safety rating for fiber optic cables that indicates the jacket material meets specific flame resistance and smoke generation requirements for installation in vertical riser spaces without conduit. This AddOn cable's OFNR-rated PVC jacket allows deployment between floors in buildings while complying with fire safety codes for riser applications.
What network equipment is this cable compatible with?
This LC to LC fiber patch cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring LC fiber interfaces, including SFP and SFP+ transceivers in switches, routers, media converters, and fiber patch panels. The male LC connectors on both ends provide a secure push-pull connection that is standard across enterprise and data center networking equipment.
What is the warranty coverage for this fiber patch cable?
AddOn provides a 3-year limited warranty for this fiber patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty assurance adds value to your network infrastructure investment by providing protection against manufacturing defects throughout typical deployment cycles in commercial and data center environments.
