Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and high-speed data centers. The bend-insensitive design allows for a smaller bend radius without compromising performance, enhancing flexibility in cable management and routing.
Equipped with LC connectors on both ends, the cable provides a secure, low-loss connection compatible with SFP, SFP+, and other LC-based transceivers. The male LC connectors ensure precise alignment for minimal insertion loss and reliable data transfer across network infrastructure.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom BENDnFLEX cable combines durability, safety, and performance for robust network deployments. Its bend-insensitive fiber reduces installation headaches and maintenance costs by withstanding tight bends without signal degradation, while the plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with fire codes in commercial spaces.
Enhanced Flexibility
Bend-insensitive technology allows for tighter bends and easier routing in congested racks or conduits, minimizing the risk of fiber breakage and signal loss.
- Smaller bend radius
- Reduced installation stress
- Improved cable management
Safety & Compliance
OFNP plenum-rated jacket is flame resistant and low-smoke, meeting safety standards for use in air-handling spaces without conduit, reducing installation time and material costs.
- Flame resistant
- TAA compliant
- Environmentally friendly

FAQ
What is the bend radius of this fiber optic cable?
This cable features bend-insensitive fiber technology, which allows for a smaller bend radius compared to standard fiber cables without significant signal loss. While the exact bend radius isn't specified, the BENDnFLEX design is engineered to withstand tight bends during installation, making it suitable for congested racks or tight conduits while maintaining performance.
Is this cable suitable for plenum spaces?
Yes, this cable has an OFNP plenum-rated jacket, which is flame resistant and low-smoke. It meets safety standards for use in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors without requiring conduit, making it ideal for commercial buildings, data centers, and office networks where fire codes are stringent.
What devices are compatible with this LC/LC patch cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices that use LC connectors, such as switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays with SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based transceivers. It supports multi-mode fiber applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel, making it suitable for data center and enterprise network infrastructure.
What does the 50/125 µm specification mean?
The 50/125 µm refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multi-mode fiber. A 50-micron core and 125-micron cladding are standard for OM4 fiber, optimized for high bandwidth and low attenuation over short to medium distances. This specification supports high-speed data transmission, making it effective for backbone links and server connections in modern networks.
