Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes 50/125 µm multimode fiber optimized for OM4 standards, supporting high-bandwidth applications like 10GbE, 40GbE, and beyond over extended distances. The bend-insensitive design minimizes attenuation in curved or constrained pathways, making it suitable for dense network cabinets and structured cabling systems.
The LC connectors provide a small-form-factor interface that saves space in high-density patching environments. Each connector is factory-terminated to ensure precise alignment and low insertion loss, maintaining optical performance across the cable's entire length.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX construction allows this cable to withstand tighter bend radii than standard fiber cables without significant signal degradation. This durability reduces installation headaches and long-term maintenance concerns in complex network layouts.
Flame-Resistant Safety
The OFNP plenum-rated jacket meets strict fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces, providing an extra layer of protection in commercial and institutional buildings.
- Low smoke emission
- Self-extinguishing
- Suitable for air-handling areas
Environmental and Compliance
This cable is environmentally friendly and TAA compliant, making it appropriate for government and educational procurement where regulatory adherence is mandatory.
- Reduced environmental impact
- Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements
- Lifetime warranty coverage
Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber optic patch cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, storage arrays, and fiber distribution panels in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network backbones. The 131.2-foot length accommodates intermediate to long-distance runs between racks or across floors.
Common applications include linking 10GbE or 40GbE network equipment, extending fiber backbones in campus environments, and patching fiber-to-the-desktop installations. The plenum rating makes it suitable for installations above drop ceilings or in raised floors where fire codes require OFNP-rated cabling.
Data Center Patching
Connect top-of-rack switches to core switches or cross-connect fiber panels with reliable, high-density LC interfaces.
Building Infrastructure
Run between telecommunications rooms or across plenum spaces while meeting fire safety and performance requirements.

FAQ
What type of fiber and connectors does this cable use?
This cable uses OM4-rated 50/125 µm multimode fiber with LC male connectors on both ends. The LC connectors provide a small-form-factor duplex interface commonly used in high-density network environments, while the OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth applications like 10GbE and 40GbE over extended distances.
What does 'bend insensitive' mean for this fiber cable?
Bend-insensitive fiber technology allows this cable to withstand tighter bend radii during installation without significant signal loss or performance degradation. This makes it more durable and easier to route in constrained spaces like network cabinets, conduit, or around corners compared to standard fiber cables.
Where can I use this OFNP plenum-rated cable?
The OFNP plenum rating means this cable is approved for installation in plenum spaces—areas used for air circulation like above drop ceilings or below raised floors. It meets strict fire safety standards with low smoke emission and flame-resistant properties, making it suitable for commercial buildings, data centers, and institutions where fire codes require plenum-rated cabling.
What is the cable length and how does it affect deployment?
This cable is 131.2 feet (40 meters) long, providing flexibility for intermediate to long-distance runs between network equipment. This length accommodates connections across server racks, between telecommunications rooms, or in campus environments without needing additional splicing or coupling, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure.
