Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multimode technology with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM2 performance standards. The cable terminates with two LC male connectors on one end and two SC male connectors on the opposite end, creating a duplex connection that supports simultaneous transmit and receive functions.
The 1.6-foot length makes this cable ideal for patch panel connections, equipment interconnects, and other short-reach applications where precise cable management is essential. The multimode fiber construction provides reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed network protocols commonly deployed in enterprise environments.
