Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OM4-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, providing enhanced bandwidth and distance capabilities compared to lower-grade cables. The duplex design allows for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, which is essential for modern network architectures.
The cable is terminated with industry-standard LC and ST connectors, both in male configurations. The LC connectors offer a small form factor for high-density installations, while the ST connectors provide a robust bayonet-style connection that is widely used in network infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the difference between LC and ST connectors on this cable?
This cable features LC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other. LC connectors are small form-factor connectors commonly used in high-density environments like data centers, while ST connectors use a bayonet-style coupling mechanism often found in older network equipment or specific industrial applications. The duplex design means each end has two connectors for bidirectional data transmission.
What does OM4 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM4 is a performance grade for multimode fiber optic cables. It indicates enhanced bandwidth and distance capabilities compared to OM3 or OM2 cables. This OM4-rated cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s over longer distances with minimal signal loss, making it suitable for high-speed network backbones and data center interconnects.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Axiom fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s. This high-speed capability makes it compatible with modern network standards like 40G and 100G Ethernet, ensuring it can handle demanding applications in enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure without performance bottlenecks.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed as a patch cable for indoor use in controlled environments such as data centers, server rooms, and office networks. It does not have specific outdoor-rated shielding or jacket protection. For outdoor installations, you would need a cable with appropriate weatherproofing and UV-resistant materials, which this model does not include.
