Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multimode technology with an OM2 rating, optimized for bandwidths up to 1 Gb/s over distances typical in LAN and SAN environments. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry balances modal dispersion and light-gathering capacity, ensuring stable performance with common 850 nm and 1300 nm light sources.
The connector configuration includes two LC male connectors on one end and two SC male connectors on the other, providing a versatile patch solution for devices with different interface types. This duplex arrangement maintains polarity for proper bidirectional data flow.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical length with connector flexibility, reducing the need for adapters in mixed-interface environments. The OM2 multimode construction delivers cost-effective performance for most enterprise networking needs without the expense of singlemode solutions.
Connector Versatility
The LC-to-SC configuration bridges equipment with different interface types, commonly found in switches, routers, and media converters.
- LC connectors: Compact, push-pull design
- SC connectors: Robust, snap-in design
- Male connectors: Standard for patch cables
Durability and Identification
The orange jacket meets industry standards for multimode fiber identification and provides protection against bending and environmental stress.
- TIA-598 color coding
- Abrasion-resistant construction
- Easy visual management
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is designed for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where LC-to-SC connections are required. Its 295.3-foot length accommodates longer runs between equipment racks or across building floors.
Typical applications include connecting fiber optic switches to SC-interface devices, patching between different generations of networking hardware, and extending existing fiber infrastructure. The multimode OM2 specification makes it suitable for backbone connections, inter-building links, and storage area networks operating at 1 Gb/s speeds.

FAQ
What is the difference between LC and SC connectors on this cable?
This cable has LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other. LC connectors are compact with a push-pull latch, ideal for high-density panels. SC connectors are slightly larger with a snap-in design, known for durability. The mixed configuration allows connection between equipment with different interface types without additional adapters.
What does OM2 50/125 µm mean for this fiber cable?
OM2 is a multimode fiber grade supporting bandwidths up to 1 Gb/s over distances typical in LAN environments. The 50/125 µm specification refers to the core diameter (50 micrometers) and cladding diameter (125 micrometers), which optimizes light transmission for 850 nm and 1300 nm sources. This combination provides reliable performance for most enterprise networking applications.
What types of network devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for standard network devices with LC or SC fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, media converters, and network interface cards. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex communication, making it suitable for data transmission between active equipment in data centers, server rooms, or telecommunications installations.
Why is the cable jacket orange?
The orange jacket follows TIA-598 industry standards for identifying multimode fiber optic cables. This color coding helps technicians quickly distinguish multimode cables from singlemode (yellow) or other cable types during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting in complex cabling environments.
