User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber is designed for short to medium distance transmissions and is commonly used in data centers, enterprise networks, and building backbone applications. The 50/125 µm dimension refers to the core and cladding diameters in micrometers, which is a standard specification for OM2/OM3 multi-mode fiber installations.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends of this duplex patch cable feature two LC network male connectors. This creates a symmetrical LC-to-LC connection without requiring adapters. The LC connector is a small-form-factor interface that saves space in high-density patching environments while providing reliable optical coupling. The duplex configuration maintains separate transmit and receive channels for full-duplex communication.
What is the cable length and what applications is it suitable for?
The cable measures 32.8 feet (10 meters) in length, making it ideal for connections within server racks, between adjacent equipment cabinets, or in data center aisle configurations. This length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack applications while minimizing excess cable that requires management. It's suitable for connecting switches to patch panels, linking storage equipment, or establishing backbone links in enterprise environments.
What does OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser, which indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for installation in vertical riser spaces between floors. This rating ensures the cable material has limited flame spread and low smoke generation characteristics. OFNR-rated cables are required for vertical runs in plenum spaces and provide an additional safety layer in commercial building installations.
What data transfer rate does this cable support?
This fiber optic patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). This makes it compatible with Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel, and other high-speed network protocols commonly used in enterprise environments. The multi-mode 50/125 µm fiber construction provides sufficient bandwidth to maintain signal integrity at this data rate over the cable's 32.8-foot length.
Is this cable TAA compliant and what warranty does it include?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government procurement. It also comes with a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box Corporation, providing long-term assurance of product quality and performance. The cable is manufactured in Hong Kong and meets the quality standards expected in professional networking environments.
