Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes advanced bend-insensitive fiber technology that minimizes signal loss when cables are routed around corners or through congested pathways. The OM4 multi-mode specification supports high-bandwidth applications with excellent performance over the 229.7-foot distance.
The cable construction features precision-terminated SC and LC connectors with male interfaces, providing secure physical connections that maintain optical alignment for consistent data transmission. The silver-colored OFNP plenum jacket offers both visual identification and compliance with building code requirements for installations in air circulation spaces.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical installation benefits with regulatory compliance, offering network administrators a solution that addresses both performance requirements and safety standards. The TAA compliance ensures eligibility for government procurement, while the environmentally friendly construction reflects modern sustainability considerations.
Bend-Insensitive Design
The BENDnFLEX technology allows tighter bend radii without significant signal degradation, providing installation flexibility in space-constrained environments while maintaining optical performance.
- Reduces installation restrictions
- Maintains signal integrity in tight spaces
- Minimizes microbending losses
Plenum-Rated Safety
OFNP-rated jacket meets stringent fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces, making this cable suitable for installations in air-handling areas without requiring conduit in many jurisdictions.
- Low smoke emission
- Fire-retardant construction
- Building code compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber optic patch cable serves as a reliable component in network infrastructure supporting data-intensive applications. The multi-mode OM4 specification makes it suitable for high-speed data transmission in corporate networks, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and government installations where TAA compliance is required.
The bend-insensitive characteristic proves particularly valuable in retrofit situations or densely packed equipment racks where cable routing challenges demand flexibility without compromising performance. Network technicians appreciate the clear connector differentiation between SC and LC ends, reducing installation errors during patching operations.
Data Center Interconnections
Connect switches, routers, and servers with different interface types using the SC to LC configuration, particularly useful in heterogeneous network environments where equipment from multiple vendors requires interconnection.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Deploy as part of structured cabling systems for building-to-building or floor-to-floor connections, with the 229.7-foot length accommodating typical riser and horizontal runs in commercial installations.

FAQ
What types of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This cable features SC male connectors on one end and LC male connectors on the opposite end. The SC connector provides a push-pull coupling mechanism with a 2.5mm ferrule, while the LC connector offers a smaller form factor with a 1.25mm ferrule. This configuration allows interconnection between equipment with different interface types commonly found in network environments.
What does 'bend insensitive' mean for this fiber cable?
Bend insensitive refers to the cable's ability to maintain optical performance when bent around tight radii. The BENDnFLEX technology minimizes signal loss that typically occurs when fiber cables are routed around corners or through congested pathways. This characteristic provides installation flexibility in space-constrained environments without compromising data transmission quality.
Where can I install this plenum-rated fiber optic cable?
The OFNP plenum rating indicates this cable meets stringent fire safety standards for installation in air-handling spaces, such as above drop ceilings or below raised floors where environmental air circulates. This rating often eliminates the need for conduit in plenum areas, simplifying installation while maintaining compliance with building codes and fire regulations.
What is the significance of the OM4 rating on this cable?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber specification that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances compared to previous OM standards. This rating ensures the cable can handle high-speed data transmission applications, making it suitable for network backbones, data center interconnections, and other performance-demanding environments where reliable signal integrity is essential.
