Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable operates on multimode technology with an OM2 rating, optimized for distances up to several hundred meters depending on network equipment. The 50/125 µm core/cladding specification is standard for multimode fiber, balancing performance and cost-effectiveness for short-range applications. The LC connectors provide a small form factor with secure latching, reducing insertion loss and ensuring stable connections in high-density environments.
The cable's construction includes a robust orange jacket that resists crushing, protecting the internal fiber strands from physical damage during installation or maintenance. This feature is essential in areas with heavy foot traffic or equipment movement. The 1.6 ft length is tailored for tight spaces, such as between adjacent racks or within compact network enclosures, minimizing cable clutter and improving airflow.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable offers distinct advantages for network deployments, starting with its durable crush-resistant design that extends cable lifespan in high-traffic areas. The LC connectors ensure low insertion loss and reliable performance, critical for maintaining signal integrity in data-intensive environments. The orange color provides easy identification, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting in complex network setups.
