Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multimode technology optimized for 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths, making it suitable for LAN, SAN, and backbone applications. The SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other provide compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, routers, media converters, and patch panels.
The cable construction meets industry standards for performance and durability, with precise alignment ferrins ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics. The male connectors feature durable housings with secure latching mechanisms for reliable connections in high-vibration environments.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers consistent performance with excellent signal integrity across its entire length. The hybrid SC-to-LC configuration eliminates the need for adapter panels in many installations, simplifying cable runs between equipment with different interface types.
Reliable Connectivity
Precision-polished connectors ensure minimal signal loss and reflection, maintaining data integrity for critical network applications.
- Low insertion loss
- High return loss
- Secure latching mechanism
Easy Identification
The distinctive orange color conforms to TIA-598 standards for multimode fiber identification, making cable management and troubleshooting more efficient.
- TIA-598 compliant
- Quick visual identification
- Reduces installation errors
Deployment / Use Cases
This SC-to-LC multimode cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in data centers where different connector types are present on various devices. The 19.7-foot length provides sufficient reach for rack-to-rack connections within the same cabinet or adjacent enclosures.
Common applications include linking switches with SC ports to servers or storage arrays with LC interfaces, connecting media converters between fiber and copper networks, and patching between distribution frames in telecommunications installations. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols common in enterprise environments.
Data Center Patching
Connect core switches to edge devices or storage systems where mixed connector types are deployed throughout the infrastructure.
Network Expansion
Extend existing fiber runs when adding new equipment with different interface requirements than the current installation.

FAQ
What types of devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This SC-to-LC multimode fiber optic cable is designed for network devices including switches, routers, media converters, patch panels, and servers that feature SC or LC fiber interfaces. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex communication for applications requiring separate transmit and receive channels.
What is the difference between SC and LC connectors on this cable?
This cable has SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other end. SC connectors are larger with a push-pull latching mechanism, while LC connectors are smaller with a tab latch design. The hybrid configuration allows connection between equipment with different interface types without requiring additional adapters.
What does the 62.5/125 µm specification mean for this cable?
The 62.5/125 µm specification refers to the fiber core and cladding diameters. This cable has a 62.5-micron core that carries the light signal, surrounded by a 125-micron cladding that contains the light within the core. This is the standard size for OM1 multimode fiber, optimized for use with LED light sources at 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths.
How does the orange color help with cable management?
The bright orange jacket conforms to TIA-598 industry standards for multimode fiber identification. This color coding allows technicians to quickly distinguish multimode cables from singlemode cables (typically yellow) and different fiber types during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting in complex cable environments.
