Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable delivers high-performance connectivity with OM4 multi-mode fiber, supporting data rates suitable for modern network infrastructure. The 50/125 µm core/cladding design optimizes light transmission for efficient data transfer over short to medium distances.
The cable terminates with industry-standard LC and SC male connectors, providing a secure and low-loss connection between compatible fiber optic equipment. The bend insensitive construction minimizes signal degradation caused by physical stress, ensuring consistent performance in dynamic installation environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines advanced fiber technology with robust construction to meet the needs of professional network deployments. The bend insensitive fiber core allows for flexible routing without compromising signal quality, reducing installation constraints and potential points of failure.
Plenum Safety
The OFNP jacket is flame resistant and rated for use in plenum spaces, meeting building code requirements for air-handling areas without the need for additional conduit.
- Flame resistant
- Suitable for plenum installations
- Reduces installation costs
Reliable Connectivity
Precision-polished LC and SC connectors ensure low insertion loss and high return loss, providing stable connections for critical network links.
- LC to SC configuration
- Male connectors on both ends
- Secure mating with standard ports
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is designed for connecting fiber optic network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networking environments. Its 3.3 ft length makes it perfect for short interconnections within racks or between adjacent devices.
Common applications include linking switches to servers, connecting media converters, and patching fiber distribution panels. The plenum rating allows installation in ceiling spaces and raised floors, while the bend insensitive design suits high-density cable management where tight bends are unavoidable.

FAQ
What are the connector types on this fiber optic cable?
This cable has an LC male connector on one end and an SC male connector on the other end. Both connectors are standard fiber optic interfaces commonly used in networking equipment for secure, low-loss connections.
What does 'bend insensitive' mean for this cable?
Bend insensitive fiber is designed to maintain signal integrity even when the cable is bent or routed around tight corners. This technology reduces signal loss and degradation in installations where cables must navigate confined spaces or sharp turns, ensuring reliable performance.
Can this cable be installed in plenum spaces?
Yes, this cable features an OFNP plenum-rated jacket that is flame resistant and meets safety standards for installation in air-handling spaces like ceilings and raised floors. This eliminates the need for additional conduit in many commercial building applications.
What is the difference between OM4 and other fiber ratings?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber optic specification that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances compared to OM3 and OM2 fibers. It is optimized for high-speed data transmission, making it suitable for modern network infrastructure requiring reliable performance over short to medium distances.
