FAQ
What is the cable length and connector types?
This cable is 9.8 ft (2.99 m) long and features 2 x ST Network - Male connectors on the first end and 2 x LC Network - Male connectors on the second end. This duplex setup allows for simultaneous transmit and receive connections, making it efficient for network patching between devices with different interface types.
Is this a single-mode or multi-mode fiber cable?
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 transmissions, typically up to a few hundred meters, and is commonly used in local area networks, data centers, and office environments for high-speed data connectivity.
What do the jacket ratings OFNR, OFNP, and FT6 mean?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) and OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum) indicate the cable's fire safety ratings for use in riser and plenum spaces, respectively, as per NEC standards. FT6 is a Canadian flame test rating. These ratings ensure the cable meets safety requirements for installation in air handling spaces and vertical runs in buildings.
What is the warranty on this cable?
This Black Box fiber optic patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing assurance of durability and reliability for long-term network deployments in business settings.
