Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes multi-mode technology with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for short-range, high-bandwidth data transmission. The duplex design incorporates two fibers within a single cable, enabling simultaneous bidirectional communication for efficient network operations.
The cable is terminated with LC connectors on both ends, each featuring two male connectors to support duplex connections. This configuration ensures precise alignment and low insertion loss, maintaining signal integrity across the 9.8 ft length. The buffered construction adds an extra layer of protection to the fibers, enhancing durability and handling during installation.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
