- Electromagnetic interference resistant
- Secure data transfer
- Minimal signal loss
Durable Construction
Molded connectors and a robust orange plenum jacket provide physical protection and easy identification in complex cable management scenarios.
- Molded strain relief
- High-visibility orange jacket
- Plenum-rated materials
Deployment / Use Cases
The C2G 38632 fiber optic patch cable serves multiple roles in network infrastructure where reliable, high-bandwidth connections are essential. Its 98.4-foot length and SC to ST connector configuration make it particularly useful for cross-connecting equipment with different interface requirements.
Common deployment scenarios include data center inter-rack connections, server room equipment links, and backbone network segments in commercial buildings. The plenum rating allows installation in ceiling spaces and air return areas without additional fire protection measures, simplifying compliance with building codes.
Data Center Applications
Connect network switches to servers or storage arrays where SC and ST interfaces are present, providing high-speed backbone connections between equipment racks.
Commercial Network Backbones
Establish reliable links between network closets or equipment rooms in office buildings, educational facilities, and healthcare environments where data security and interference resistance are priorities.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive orange plenum-rated jacket that provides both visibility and fire safety compliance. With an approximate weight of 10.56 ounces, this 98.4-foot cable offers manageable handling during installation while maintaining the durability needed for permanent infrastructure deployments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 10.56 oz (299.37 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable is the C2G 38632?
The C2G 38632 is a multi-mode fiber optic duplex patch cable with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. This configuration is designed for short to medium distance network applications typically found in data centers, server rooms, and commercial building backbones where high-speed data transmission is required.
What connectors does this fiber optic patch cable have?
This cable features SC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the opposite end, both in male configurations. The duplex design includes two connectors of each type, allowing for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission between equipment with SC and ST interfaces.
What does 'plenum-rated' mean for this cable?
Plenum-rated indicates the cable's jacket material meets specific fire safety standards for installation in air handling spaces without requiring conduit. This rating allows the cable to be installed in ceiling plenums, air return areas, and other spaces where air circulates, making it suitable for commercial buildings that must comply with fire codes.
How long is the C2G 38632 fiber optic patch cable?
The cable measures 98.4 feet (30 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for connecting equipment across typical server racks, between network closets, or throughout commercial floor spaces. This length supports flexible deployment in various network infrastructure scenarios.
What is the warranty coverage for this cable?
C2G provides a lifetime limited warranty for the 38632 fiber optic patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life, offering assurance of quality and durability for network infrastructure investments.
What are the advantages of fiber optic over copper network cables?
Fiber optic cables like the C2G 38632 offer immunity to electromagnetic interference, higher bandwidth capacity, and more secure data transmission compared to copper alternatives. They're particularly valuable in electrically noisy environments, for longer distance connections, and where data security is a priority, though they require compatible optical equipment at both ends.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
