Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes advanced bend-insensitive fiber technology that maintains optimal performance even when routed around corners or through congested pathways. The OM4 rating ensures support for high-bandwidth applications including 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE Ethernet over appropriate distances.
The SC to LC connector configuration provides flexibility for connecting equipment with different interface types, commonly found in fiber patch panels, switches, and transceivers. The male connectors feature precise alignment for low insertion loss and reliable mating with standard fiber optic ports.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines multiple premium features that address common installation challenges while ensuring long-term reliability. The platinum color provides visual distinction for cable management and organization in complex network environments.
Plenum Safety Rating
The OFNP-rated jacket meets National Electrical Code requirements for use in plenum spaces without conduit, reducing installation time and material costs while maintaining fire safety compliance.
- Flame resistant
- Low smoke emission
- Suitable for air-handling spaces
Bend Performance
BENDnFLEX technology allows tighter bend radii without significant signal degradation, providing installation flexibility in space-constrained environments while maintaining OM4 performance specifications.
- Reduced installation stress
- Maintains signal integrity
- Space-efficient routing
Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber optic patch cable is designed for professional network installations requiring reliable, high-performance connectivity between network devices. The 23-foot length provides ample reach for rack-to-rack connections while minimizing excess cable management.
Common applications include connecting fiber optic transceivers in network switches, linking distribution frames in telecommunications rooms, and establishing backbone connections between network equipment in commercial buildings. The TAA compliance makes this cable suitable for government and educational procurement where trade agreement requirements apply.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches to patch panels or servers with different interface types using the SC to LC configuration, ideal for heterogeneous equipment environments common in modern data centers.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Deploy in office buildings, campuses, or industrial facilities where plenum-rated cabling is required for safety compliance and bend-insensitive fiber supports complex routing through ceilings and conduits.

FAQ
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber optic cable?
OM4 fiber optic cable offers higher bandwidth and longer reach than OM3 cable for multimode applications. This OM4-rated cable supports 10GbE up to 550 meters, 40GbE up to 150 meters, and 100GbE up to 150 meters, providing better performance for high-speed network deployments while maintaining backward compatibility with OM3 equipment.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces without conduit?
Yes, this cable features an OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) rated jacket that meets National Electrical Code requirements for installation in plenum spaces without additional conduit. The flame-resistant construction produces low smoke emission during fire conditions, making it suitable for air-handling spaces in commercial buildings.
What types of equipment typically use SC to LC fiber connections?
SC to LC fiber connections are commonly used to interface between different equipment types in network environments. Typical applications include connecting LC-based SFP/SFP+ transceivers in switches to SC-based patch panels, linking SC-based media converters to LC-based network equipment, or adapting between interface types in heterogeneous network environments found in data centers and enterprise installations.
How does bend-insensitive fiber improve installation?
Bend-insensitive fiber technology allows tighter bend radii without significant signal loss or degradation. This enables more flexible routing through congested pathways, around corners, and in space-constrained installations while maintaining the cable's OM4 performance specifications. The BENDnFLEX construction reduces installation stress and provides greater design flexibility for network architects.
