Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes multi-mode fiber optic technology, categorized as OM1, which is suitable for applications like LAN backbones, data centers, and campus networks. The duplex design separates transmit and receive fibers, enabling full-duplex communication for efficient data flow.
The SC connectors are industry-standard, offering a push-pull latching mechanism for secure connections. With no shielding required for fiber optics, the cable relies on its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material to minimize toxic emissions in case of fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces.
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 combines durability with performance, featuring a stranded construction that resists breakage from frequent handling. The OFNR riser rating allows installation in plenum spaces without conduit, reducing deployment costs and complexity.
Reliable Connectivity
Physical Contact (PC) polish on connectors ensures minimal signal loss and stable optical performance, critical for maintaining network integrity.
- Low insertion loss
- Consistent data transmission
- Reduces network downtime
Safety Compliance
The LSZH jacket material emits low smoke and no halogen when exposed to fire, meeting safety standards for indoor network installations.
- Fire-resistant
- Non-toxic emissions
- Ideal for enclosed racks
Deployment / Use Cases
This SC to SC patch cable is versatile for various network scenarios, particularly in environments where reliable fiber connections are essential. Its 3-meter length makes it suitable for short runs within server racks or between adjacent networking equipment.
Common applications include connecting fiber optic transceivers in switches, linking media converters, or extending connections in data centers. The orange color aids in quick identification and cable management, streamlining maintenance and troubleshooting.
Data Center Use
Ideal for patching between network devices in racks, supporting high-speed data transfer with minimal latency.
- Server connections
- Switch interlinks
- Backbone extensions
Office Network Integration
Suitable for connecting fiber-enabled routers or hubs in business networks, ensuring stable connectivity for critical operations.
- LAN setups
- Equipment rooms
- Vertical risers
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable orange jacket that provides both visibility and protection. With a weight of approximately 6.40 ounces, it is lightweight yet robust, designed to withstand the rigors of installation and daily use in network environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This cable is 3 meters long, equivalent to 9.8 feet. This length is ideal for short runs within server racks, between networking equipment, or in office environments where devices are in close proximity.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends feature SC male connectors in a duplex configuration, with 2 x SC Network - Male connectors per end. This setup supports full-duplex communication, separating transmit and receive fibers for efficient data flow.
Is this cable multi-mode or single-mode fiber?
It uses multi-mode fiber, categorized as OM1 with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber is suitable for short to medium distance applications, such as LANs and data centers, where cost-effective performance is needed.
What does the OFNR riser-rated jacket mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser-rated. This jacket type is fire-resistant and approved for use in vertical riser spaces without conduit, enhancing safety and reducing installation costs in building plenums.
Does this cable have shielding?
No, this fiber optic cable does not include shielding. Fiber optics transmit data via light, which is immune to electromagnetic interference, so shielding is not required for signal integrity unlike copper cables.
What is the warranty for this AddOn patch cable?
It comes with a 3 Year Lifetime limited warranty, providing coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. This ensures long-term reliability for network deployments in business or data center environments.
