Product Features
Technical Overview
This multi-mode fiber optic patch cable uses a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM4 applications that require high bandwidth over short to medium distances. The LC connectors on both ends provide a secure, low-loss interface compatible with a wide range of networking equipment, from switches and routers to servers and storage devices.
The BENDnFLEX technology reduces signal attenuation caused by tight bends, maintaining performance in challenging installations. With a lifetime limited warranty and TAA compliance, this cable meets procurement requirements for government and educational contracts where trade agreements apply.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical durability with performance-enhancing features that address common installation challenges. Its bend-insensitive fiber minimizes signal loss in tight spaces, while the plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with building codes for air-handling areas.
Enhanced Durability
The flame-resistant OFNP jacket provides protection against fire hazards, and the environmentally friendly construction supports sustainable IT practices.
- Flame resistant for safety
- OFNP plenum-rated jacket
- Environmentally friendly materials
Reliable Connectivity
LC male connectors ensure a secure, low-loss connection that reduces signal degradation, supporting efficient data transfer across network devices.
- LC male connectors on both ends
- Low-loss fiber optic design
- Compatible with OM4 equipment
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in data centers, server rooms, and office environments where reliable fiber optic links are required. Its 9.8 ft length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, reducing cable clutter while maintaining optimal signal quality.
Use this cable for patching between switches, routers, and servers in plenum-rated spaces, such as drop ceilings or raised floors. Its TAA compliance makes it suitable for government, education, and institutional projects that require adherence to trade agreement regulations.
Data Center Patching
Connect networking equipment in rack environments with bend-insensitive fiber that withstands tight routing without performance loss.
Plenum Space Installations
Deploy in air-handling spaces where fire safety codes mandate plenum-rated cabling, using the OFNP jacket for compliance.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom fiber optic patch cable?
This Axiom BENDnFLEX fiber optic patch cable measures 9.8 feet in length, providing a practical reach for connecting network equipment in rack environments or between nearby devices. The length is optimized for patch panel applications without excessive slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature LC network male connectors, with one LC male connector on each end. This duplex configuration ensures a secure, low-loss connection compatible with standard LC ports on switches, routers, and other fiber optic networking equipment.
Is this cable plenum rated and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable has an OFNP plenum-rated jacket, meaning it meets fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors. Plenum-rated cables produce less smoke and are less flammable, complying with building codes for such environments.
What is bend-insensitive fiber and why is it important?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to minimize signal loss when the cable is bent or routed around tight corners. This technology maintains performance in installations where cables must be run through congested pathways, reducing attenuation compared to standard fiber optic cables.
