FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses OS2 single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmissions with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for data centers and enterprise backbones where high bandwidth over extended ranges is required.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature ST male connectors. ST connectors are a common type for fiber optic networks, known for their twist-and-lock mechanism that provides a secure connection. The male gender indicates the connector plugs into a corresponding female port on network devices.
What does the riser-rated OFNR jacket mean?
The riser-rated OFNR jacket indicates the cable meets fire-resistant standards for use in vertical risers, such as between floors in a building. OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser, meaning it can be installed in shafts without conduit, enhancing safety in multi-story deployments.
What is the cable length and color?
The cable is 5 meters long, equivalent to 16.4 feet, providing ample reach for typical rack or room setups. It has a bright yellow PVC jacket, which aids in visibility and organization within cable trays or conduits, while the connectors are black for a standard appearance.
Does this cable support network devices?
Yes, this fiber patch cable is fully compatible with network devices that have ST fiber optic ports, such as switches, routers, and servers. It is designed for reliable data transmission in professional networking environments, ensuring seamless connectivity for business applications.
What warranty does this cable come with?
The cable includes a 3 Year Lifetime limited warranty from AddOn. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing confidence in the product's durability and performance for long-term use in network installations.
