FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This duplex patch cable features SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other end. Each end has two connectors (duplex configuration) - specifically 2 x SC Network - Male connectors on the first end and 2 x LC Network - Male connectors on the second end, providing a complete transmit/receive fiber pair for bidirectional communication.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second). This makes it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, high-speed storage networks, and other bandwidth-intensive data center connections that require reliable high-performance fiber optic links.
What does OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser. This jacket rating indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for riser applications, meaning it can be installed in vertical runs between floors in building riser shafts. The PVC material provides flame resistance while maintaining flexibility for installation in commercial and data center environments.
What is the difference between multi-mode and single-mode fiber?
This cable uses multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber supports shorter distance transmissions (typically up to a few hundred meters) but is more cost-effective for data center and building applications. It's ideal for the 3.2 ft length of this patch cable, providing reliable performance for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is fully compatible with standard transceivers and network devices that support SC and LC interfaces. This includes SFP and SFP+ modules, fiber switches, media converters, and other networking equipment with corresponding fiber ports. The duplex configuration ensures proper alignment for both transmit and receive channels in bidirectional communication systems.
What does the zip cord feature provide?
The zip cord design allows the two individual fibers in the duplex cable to be easily separated along their length while remaining connected at the ends. This provides flexibility during installation and cable management, enabling technicians to route each fiber independently when needed while maintaining the organized duplex pairing for proper polarity and connection integrity.
