Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes 50/125 µm multi-mode duplex fiber, optimized for OM4 standards to support data rates up to 10 Gbps over extended distances. The SC and LC male connectors provide secure, low-loss interfaces compatible with a wide range of network equipment.
The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets flame-retardant requirements for vertical runs between floors, while the PVC material offers abrasion resistance. No shielding is included, as typical for fiber optic cables where electromagnetic interference is not a concern.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers essential performance and safety features for professional network installations. Its design prioritizes optical integrity, environmental compliance, and installation flexibility.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Optimized Connector Pairing, Fire-Resistant Construction.
Optimized Connector Pairing
SC to LC connectivity bridges equipment with different interface types, commonly found in data centers and telecom racks.
- SC connector for stable coupling
- LC connector for high-density applications
Fire-Resistant Construction
The riser-rated OFNR jacket prevents flame propagation in vertical installations, meeting building code requirements for plenum spaces.
- PVC jacket material
- Fire Resistant feature
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, storage arrays, and media converters in enterprise and data center environments. The 23 ft length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack patching without excessive slack.
Common applications include backbone links in LANs, SAN interconnects, and high-speed network upgrades. The riser rating makes it suitable for installations between floors in office buildings, while the OM4 fiber supports bandwidth-intensive tasks like video streaming and large data transfers.

FAQ
What are the connector types on this fiber patch cable?
This cable has an SC male connector on one end and an LC male connector on the other end. Both connectors are designed for network applications, with the SC providing a sturdy push-pull coupling and the LC offering a compact size for high-density patching in data centers and telecom environments.
What does OM4 fiber category mean for this cable?
OM4 is a laser-optimized multi-mode fiber category that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances compared to older OM3 or OM2 standards. This cable uses OM4-grade fiber, enabling data transmission speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances suitable for most enterprise network backbones and storage area networks.
Is this cable suitable for riser applications?
Yes, this cable features a riser-rated OFNR jacket, which means it meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors in buildings. The OFNR rating indicates it is suitable for use in riser spaces without conduit, providing flame resistance to prevent fire spread.
What is the significance of the 50/125 µm specification?
The 50/125 µm refers to the fiber core and cladding diameters, where 50 micrometers is the core that carries light signals and 125 micrometers is the cladding that contains the light. This is the standard size for multi-mode fiber, balancing performance and cost for short to medium-distance network links.
Does this cable include shielding?
No, this fiber optic cable does not include shielding. Fiber optic cables transmit data using light rather than electrical signals, so they are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Shielding is unnecessary and typically not used in fiber patch cables, simplifying the design and reducing weight.
What warranty comes with this AddOn fiber cable?
AddOn provides a 3-year limited warranty for this fiber patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, giving assurance of quality and reliability for network infrastructure deployments over an extended period.
