FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable is this and what distances does it support?
This is a multi-mode fiber optic cable with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber is designed for short to medium-distance applications, typically supporting reliable data transmission up to several hundred meters depending on the network equipment and data rate. The 6.5-foot length makes it ideal for patch panel connections, within-rack wiring, and other short-distance network infrastructure links.
What connectors are on each end of this patch cable?
Both ends of this duplex patch cable feature ST (Straight Tip) connectors. Each end has two ST male connectors, providing a complete duplex connection for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. The ST connector uses a bayonet-style locking mechanism that ensures secure connections and is widely compatible with ST ports on network switches, media converters, and other fiber optic equipment.
What does the OFNR jacket rating mean for this cable?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser, indicating this cable meets specific flame-retardant standards for vertical installations in building riser spaces. The OFNR rating means the cable jacket material is designed to limit flame propagation and smoke generation when installed in vertical shafts between floors. This makes the cable suitable for use in riser applications where building codes require enhanced fire safety characteristics.
Is this cable TAA compliant and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. TAA compliance means the product meets the requirements of the U.S. Trade Agreements Act, which governs procurement by federal government agencies and certain institutional buyers. Compliance indicates the cable is manufactured in a TAA-designated country (Hong Kong in this case), making it eligible for purchase by government entities and organizations with TAA procurement requirements.
