Product Features
Technical Overview
This OM4-rated multimode fiber optic cable operates with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, supporting high-bandwidth applications like 10GbE, 40GbE, and beyond over extended distances. The bend-insensitive fiber technology minimizes signal loss in tight bends or crowded pathways, maintaining reliable data transmission in challenging installations.
The SC and LC connectors are industry-standard interfaces that provide secure, low-loss connections compatible with a wide range of networking equipment. The male connectors feature precise ferrule alignment for optimal optical performance across the cable's entire length.
Key Product Advantages
The BENDnFLEX design combines durability with performance, offering several advantages for network professionals. The bend-insensitive fiber maintains signal integrity even when routed around corners or through congested cable trays, reducing installation headaches and potential performance issues.
Plenum Safety
The OFNP-rated jacket meets stringent fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces without requiring conduit, simplifying installation while maintaining compliance with building codes.
- Flame resistant
- Low smoke emission
- Plenum rated without conduit
Reliable Connectivity
Precision-engineered SC and LC connectors ensure consistent mating and unmating cycles with minimal insertion loss, supporting stable network performance over time.
- SC male connector
- LC male connector
- Low-loss performance
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to SC fiber patch cable serves as a versatile interconnect solution for diverse networking environments. Its mixed connector configuration makes it particularly useful for connecting equipment with different interface types, such as linking LC-based transceivers to SC-based patch panels or older infrastructure.
Common applications include data center cross-connects, telecommunications central offices, enterprise network backbone links, and fiber-to-the-desk installations. The 229.7-foot length accommodates longer runs between equipment racks or across large facilities, while the plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces without additional conduit.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect switches, routers, and servers with different fiber interfaces across racks or rows, leveraging the bend-insensitive fiber for clean cable management in high-density environments.
Network Upgrades
Bridge legacy SC-based infrastructure with modern LC-based equipment during phased network upgrades or expansions, maintaining compatibility while improving performance.

FAQ
What types of equipment can I connect with this LC to SC fiber patch cable?
This cable connects equipment with LC interfaces to devices with SC interfaces, making it ideal for linking modern LC-based transceivers to older SC-based patch panels, switches, or media converters. It supports networking equipment from various manufacturers that use these standard fiber optic connectors.
What does OM4 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM4 is a multimode fiber specification that supports higher bandwidth over longer distances compared to OM3 or OM2 fibers. This OM4-rated cable can handle 10GbE up to 400 meters and 40/100GbE up to 150 meters, making it suitable for current and future high-speed network applications.
Can I install this cable in plenum spaces without conduit?
Yes, the OFNP-rated jacket meets fire safety standards for plenum spaces, allowing installation in air-handling areas without additional metal conduit. This simplifies installation while maintaining compliance with building codes and reducing material costs.
How does bend-insensitive fiber technology benefit my installation?
Bend-insensitive fiber minimizes signal loss when the cable is bent or routed around tight corners, maintaining reliable performance in congested cable trays or tight spaces. This technology reduces installation constraints and potential performance issues caused by bending during routing.
