Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes single-mode technology, which allows for longer distance transmissions with minimal signal loss compared to multimode alternatives. The 9/125 µm core/cladding specification is standard for single-mode applications, providing optimal light transmission characteristics.
The SC connectors feature a push-pull latching mechanism that ensures secure connections while allowing for quick installation and removal. Each end of this duplex cable contains two SC male connectors, providing separate transmit and receive paths for full-duplex communication.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. Single-mode fiber is designed for longer distance transmissions with minimal signal loss compared to multimode fiber, making it ideal for backbone connections and applications requiring high bandwidth over extended distances.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature SC male connectors in a duplex configuration. Each end has two SC connectors - one for transmit and one for receive - providing full-duplex communication capability. The SC connector design uses a push-pull latching mechanism for secure, tool-free connections.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for connecting modern network equipment, including switches with SFP+ ports, servers with fiber network interfaces, and other devices requiring high-bandwidth optical connections.
What does OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser. This rating indicates the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for riser applications, meaning it can be installed in vertical runs between floors without requiring additional conduit. The PVC material provides both fire resistance and physical protection for the optical fibers.
What is the advantage of the zip cord design?
The zip cord design allows the two individual fibers to be easily separated along their length while remaining connected at the ends. This provides routing flexibility during installation, enabling the fibers to be directed to different ports or pathways while maintaining their duplex relationship for proper signal transmission.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This fiber optic patch cable is compatible with optical transceivers, switches, servers, and network devices that support SC connectors. It works with SFP, SFP+, and other optical modules that use SC interfaces, making it versatile for various networking applications in data centers and enterprise environments.
