FAQ
What is the cable length and connector configuration?
This Axiom fiber optic patch cable is 6.6 feet long and features SC male connectors on one end and LC male connectors on the other. This LC to SC configuration allows for connecting devices with different interface types, such as linking an SC-port switch to an LC-port server or media converter, providing versatility in mixed-equipment environments.
Is this cable plenum-rated and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable has an OFNP plenum-rated jacket, which means it meets strict fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces—areas used for air circulation in buildings, like above drop ceilings or below raised floors. The plenum rating ensures low smoke emission and flame resistance, reducing fire hazards and complying with building codes in commercial and institutional settings.
What is bend-insensitive fiber and why is it important?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to maintain signal integrity even when the cable is bent or routed around tight corners, minimizing signal loss that can occur with standard fiber optics. This feature is crucial in high-density installations, such as data centers or network closets, where cables may need to navigate cramped spaces without degrading performance, ensuring reliable data transmission and reducing installation headaches.
What type of fiber and applications is this cable suited for?
This cable uses OM4-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for high-bandwidth data transmission over short to medium distances. It is well-suited for applications like data center interconnects, enterprise networking, and telecommunications, where fast data transfer between network devices is required. The multimode design supports compatibility with a wide range of existing equipment.
