Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes OM4-grade 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber optimized for high-bandwidth applications. The bend-insensitive fiber construction maintains signal quality through tight bends and complex cable routing paths. The SC male connector on one end and LC male connector on the other provide a reliable duplex connection with precise alignment for minimal insertion loss.
The OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) jacket rating indicates compliance with NEC requirements for installation in plenum spaces without conduit. This cable carries TAA compliance for government procurement and meets environmental standards for responsible manufacturing. The platinum color provides visual distinction in cable management systems.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX design represents a significant advancement in fiber optic patch cable technology, combining robust performance with installation flexibility. Unlike standard fiber cables that suffer signal degradation when bent, this cable maintains full bandwidth capability through tight radius installations.

FAQ
What types of network equipment is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This LC/SC fiber patch cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring SC or LC fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, media converters, transceivers, and patch panels. The multi-mode OM4 50/125 specification ensures compatibility with standard multi-mode fiber infrastructure commonly deployed in enterprise networks and data centers.
What does the OFNP jacket rating mean for installation?
OFNP stands for Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum, indicating the cable jacket meets stringent fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces without conduit. This rating allows the cable to be run through air-handling areas like ceilings and raised floors in commercial buildings, simplifying installation while maintaining compliance with National Electrical Code requirements.
How does the bend-insensitive fiber technology benefit network installations?
The BENDnFLEX bend-insensitive fiber maintains signal integrity even when routed through tight bends or complex cable paths. This technology prevents the signal degradation that typically occurs with standard fiber cables when bent beyond their minimum bend radius, allowing more flexible installation in crowded racks and cabinets without compromising performance.
What is the difference between OM4 and other multi-mode fiber standards?
OM4 is an enhanced multi-mode fiber specification that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances compared to OM3 and earlier standards. With 50/125 µm core/cladding, OM4 fiber can support 40G and 100G Ethernet over longer distances, making it ideal for high-speed data center and enterprise backbone applications where future-proofing is important.
