FAQ
What is the length of this fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable measures 16.4 feet, which is equivalent to 5 meters. This length is suitable for most rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data centers and network cabinets, providing sufficient reach without excessive slack that requires complex cable management.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends of this cable feature MPO/UPC Network - Female connectors. The MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connector accommodates multiple fibers in a single interface, while UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing ensures minimal back reflection and optimal signal transmission for high-speed network applications.
What does OM4 fiber category mean for this cable?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber optic specification that supports high-bandwidth applications over short to medium distances. This cable's OM4 rating ensures compatibility with 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet standards, making it suitable for data-intensive environments like data centers and enterprise networks where high-speed data transfer is essential.
What is the significance of the riser-rated OFNR jacket?
The riser-rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket indicates that this cable meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors. This rating means the cable can be used in riser spaces without conduit, providing compliance with building codes while offering fire-resistant properties that enhance safety in network infrastructure deployments.
Is this cable shielded against electromagnetic interference?
No, this fiber optic patch cable does not include shielding. Fiber optic cables naturally resist electromagnetic interference due to their light-based transmission method, making additional shielding unnecessary for most applications. The absence of shielding helps maintain the cable's flexibility and reduces overall weight while still providing reliable data transmission.
What applications is this fiber patch cable best suited for?
This cable is ideal for high-speed network connections in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise environments. Common uses include connecting switches to patch panels, linking transceivers in high-density installations, and extending fiber runs between network equipment. The OM4 fiber supports bandwidth-intensive applications like cloud computing, video streaming, and large data transfers.
