Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes a duplex design, meaning it contains two separate fibers within a single jacket for bidirectional communication. The multimode fiber optic core/cladding specification of 62.5/125 µm is optimized for use with LED or VCSEL light sources, commonly found in networking equipment like switches, routers, and media converters.
The connectors are configured with two SC male connectors on one end and two LC male connectors on the other, providing flexibility for interfacing with different port types. This hybrid connector setup allows for connections between devices with SC ports and those with LC ports, reducing the need for additional adapters.
Key Product Advantages
This cable simplifies network deployments by offering a direct SC-to-LC connection in a single cable, eliminating compatibility issues and reducing installation time. The lifetime warranty ensures long-term reliability and peace of mind for IT professionals managing critical network infrastructure.
Hybrid Connector Compatibility
The combination of SC and LC connectors allows seamless integration between equipment with different interface types, supporting a wide range of network devices without requiring separate adapters or patch cords.
- Direct SC to LC connection
- Reduces adapter dependency
- Supports mixed-device environments
Durable Construction
Built with industry-standard materials, this cable is designed for durability in professional settings. The orange color-coded jacket aids in quick identification and organization within cable trays or racks.
- Orange jacket for easy ID
- Lifetime warranty
- OM1-grade fiber
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, or storage devices in environments where SC and LC interfaces are present. Common applications include linking networking gear in data centers, connecting backbone switches to distribution switches, or patching between different generations of fiber optic equipment.
In office buildings or campus networks, it can be used to extend connections between floors or buildings where multimode fiber is deployed. The 39.4-foot length provides flexibility for routing around obstacles or through conduits while maintaining signal integrity.
Data Center Patching
Use this cable to connect switches with LC ports to servers or storage arrays with SC ports, streamlining cable management and reducing clutter in high-density racks.
Network Upgrades
When upgrading network equipment with mixed connector types, this cable facilitates transitions without replacing entire cable runs, saving time and resources.

FAQ
What is the difference between multimode and single-mode fiber optic cables?
Multimode fiber, like this Axiom cable with 62.5/125 µm core, uses multiple light paths to transmit data over shorter distances, typically up to a few hundred meters, and is cost-effective for LANs or data centers. Single-mode fiber has a smaller core (e.g., 9/125 µm) for single light path transmission over longer distances, often kilometers, used in telecom or WANs. This cable is multimode, suitable for most business network applications.
What does 'duplex' mean in a fiber optic cable?
Duplex refers to a cable containing two separate fibers within one jacket, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data transmission—one fiber for sending data and the other for receiving. This Axiom cable is duplex with two fibers, enabling full-duplex communication between network devices without needing two separate cables.
Can this cable connect devices with only SC or only LC ports?
Yes, this cable is designed with SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other, making it ideal for connecting devices with different port types. For example, you can link a switch with LC ports to a server with SC ports directly. If both devices have the same port type, a cable with matching connectors (e.g., SC-to-SC) would be more appropriate.
What is the maximum distance this multimode fiber cable can support?
As an OM1-grade 62.5/125 µm multimode cable, it supports distances up to 33 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 300 meters for 1 Gigabit Ethernet, depending on the network equipment and light source. The 12-meter (39.4-foot) length of this cable is well within these limits, ensuring reliable performance for typical office or data center deployments.
