Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for single-mode fiber applications, this patch cable delivers optimal performance with its OS2-rated fiber and 9/125 µm core/cladding design. The SC and LC connectors provide secure, low-loss connections compatible with a wide range of network devices, from switches and routers to transceivers and media converters.
The cable's physical characteristics include a yellow PVC jacket rated OFNR for riser use, blue connectors for easy identification, and a weight of approximately 4.80 oz (136.08 g). It does not include shielding, as single-mode fiber typically relies on its design for interference resistance rather than additional shielding layers.
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 16.4 ft (5 m) long, providing ample reach for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack patching scenarios in data centers or network closets. The length supports flexible installation without excessive slack, making it suitable for structured cabling environments.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features SC male connectors on one end and LC male connectors on the other end. This SC to LC configuration allows you to connect devices with different interface types, such as linking SC ports on older equipment to LC ports on modern switches or transceivers.
Is this cable single-mode or multimode?
This is a single-mode fiber patch cable, designed for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss. It uses OS2-rated fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, which is standard for single-mode applications in telecommunications and high-speed networks.
What does the OFNR riser-rated jacket mean?
The OFNR riser-rated jacket indicates that the cable's Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket meets fire safety standards for riser applications, allowing it to be installed in vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings. This rating ensures the cable resists flame propagation and reduces smoke emission, complying with building codes.
Does this cable include shielding?
No, this cable does not include shielding. Single-mode fiber optic cables like this one typically rely on their design and materials for interference resistance rather than additional shielding layers. The lack of shielding helps maintain flexibility and reduces weight without compromising performance in most network environments.
What warranty comes with this AddOn patch cable?
This AddOn patch cable comes with a 3-year limited lifetime warranty, providing coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty supports long-term reliability, giving you confidence in its performance for critical network infrastructure connections over time.
