Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes multi-mode technology with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding diameter, optimized for short-range data transmission typical in LAN and data center applications. The LC connectors on both ends ensure a secure, low-loss connection that minimizes signal degradation, while the duplex design supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full-duplex communication.
The cable jacket meets OFNR, OFNP, and FT6 ratings, indicating suitability for use in plenum and riser spaces where fire safety is a priority. This compliance ensures the cable can be deployed in various building environments without compromising safety standards. The 3.2-foot length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow management.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with practical features that enhance network reliability and ease of installation. The LC connectors offer a small form factor, allowing for high-density connections in network cabinets and patch panels, which is critical in space-constrained environments.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box fiber optic patch cable?
This cable is 3.2 feet (0.98 meters) long, making it ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, between adjacent equipment, or in tight spaces where longer cables would create clutter. This length helps maintain signal integrity by minimizing excess cable that can introduce attenuation or bending losses.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends feature LC connectors, with 2 x LC Network - Male connectors on each end in a duplex configuration. LC connectors are known for their small form factor, which allows for high-density connections in patch panels and network equipment, ensuring secure and low-loss fiber optic links.
Is this a single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable?
This is a multi-mode fiber optic cable with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber is optimized for short-range data transmission, typically used in LANs, data centers, and building backbones, where it supports high bandwidth over distances up to a few hundred meters.
What do the OFNR, OFNP, and FT6 jacket ratings mean?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) and OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) indicate the cable is suitable for use in riser and plenum spaces, respectively, meeting fire safety standards. FT6 is a Canadian fire test rating. Together, these ratings ensure the cable can be safely installed in air handling areas like ceilings or vertical shafts without spreading flames.
