Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes OM3 multi-mode fiber with a core/cladding specification of 50/125 µm, optimized for 10 GbE applications over short to medium distances. The MPO connectors employ Physical Contact (PC) polishing to minimize insertion loss and back reflection, ensuring stable signal integrity. With no shielding, the cable is suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference is not a primary concern.
The cable length of 16.4 ft (5 m) provides ample reach for typical data center or server room patching needs, balancing flexibility with minimal signal attenuation. Weighing approximately 6.40 oz (181.44 g), it is lightweight yet durable for repeated handling.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers essential benefits for network infrastructure, focusing on performance, safety, and compatibility. Its design addresses common patching challenges in modern data environments.
High-Speed Connectivity
OM3 fiber supports high-bandwidth applications, making it suitable for 10 GbE networks, storage area networks (SANs), and backbone links where fast data transfer is critical.
- Laser-optimized for efficient transmission
- Physical Contact (PC) connectors reduce signal loss
Safety and Compliance
The OFNR riser-rated LSZH jacket meets safety standards for vertical runs, reducing fire hazards and toxic emissions in enclosed spaces like risers or plenums.
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen material enhances safety
- Riser-rated for installation in vertical shafts
Durability and Flexibility
Stranded construction allows the cable to bend without breaking, facilitating easy installation and maintenance in crowded racks or conduits.
- Aqua color aids quick identification
- Lightweight design simplifies handling
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO-to-MPO patch cable is versatile for various network scenarios, particularly in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications setups. Its male connectors on both ends enable direct, secure connections without adapters.
Common applications include linking MPO ports on high-density switches to patch panels, connecting media converters in fiber-to-copper transitions, and establishing backbone links between network devices. The 16.4 ft length is optimal for short runs within racks or between adjacent equipment, reducing cable clutter while maintaining performance.
Data Center Patching
Ideal for connecting MPO interfaces in structured cabling systems, supporting high-speed data transfer between servers, switches, and storage arrays.
Network Expansion
Useful for adding new devices to existing MPO-based networks, such as integrating additional switches or routers without reconfiguring infrastructure.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua green jacket, which aligns with OM3 multi-mode fiber color-coding standards for easy identification in complex cabling environments. Its OFNR riser-rated LSZH construction ensures it can be installed in vertical risers without compromising safety, while the lightweight design at 6.40 oz (181.44 g) minimizes strain on connectors and ports during deployment.
