Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes OM4 multi-mode technology, optimized for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. The 50/125 µm fiber core/cladding specification ensures compatibility with common networking equipment, while the bend-insensitive design reduces signal degradation in routed or constrained pathways.
The LC connectors offer a compact, latch-secured interface that minimizes insertion loss and reflection, critical for maintaining network performance. With a precise 3.3 ft length, this cable is ideal for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch panel connections where exact cable management is required.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX series combines durability with performance, featuring a robust construction that resists bending without compromising signal quality. This cable's plenum-rated OFNP jacket provides fire safety compliance, while its silver color aids in visual identification and organization within network cabinets.
Bend Insensitive Design
Engineered to maintain optical performance even when bent or routed around corners, reducing installation headaches and potential signal loss.
- Minimizes microbending losses
- Suitable for tight spaces
- Enhances installation flexibility
Plenum Safety Rating
The OFNP jacket meets stringent fire and smoke standards for use in plenum spaces, ensuring compliance with building codes and safety regulations.
- Low smoke emission
- Fire retardant
- Ideal for air-handling areas
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC/LC fiber optic patch cable is designed for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and storage systems in data centers, server rooms, and office networks. Its 3.3 ft length makes it perfect for short-run connections within racks or between adjacent equipment.
Common applications include linking fiber optic transceivers, patching in fiber distribution panels, and establishing connections in high-density networking environments. The TAA compliance also makes it suitable for government and educational procurement where trade agreement adherence is required.
Data Center Patching
Use for precise connections between network gear in rack-mounted configurations, where cable length management and bend tolerance are critical.
Enterprise Network Infrastructure
Deploy in office buildings for backbone or horizontal cabling runs, leveraging the plenum rating for safety in ceiling and raised floor spaces.

FAQ
What is the cable length and connector type?
This cable is 3.3 ft long and features LC male connectors on both ends. The LC connectors provide a compact, latch-secured interface that ensures a reliable connection with minimal insertion loss, ideal for high-density network environments.
Is this cable plenum rated and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable has an OFNP plenum-rated jacket. Plenum rating means the jacket material meets fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces like ceilings and raised floors, producing low smoke and being fire retardant to comply with building codes.
What is bend-insensitive fiber and why is it important?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to maintain optical performance even when the cable is bent or routed around corners. This reduces signal loss from microbending, making installation easier in tight spaces and ensuring reliable data transmission in complex network layouts.
What type of fiber and core size does this cable use?
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 is optimized for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances, and the 50/125 µm size is standard for compatibility with most multi-mode networking equipment.
