Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multi-mode technology, which is optimized for distances up to several hundred meters, making it suitable for intra-building connections, data center patching, and network backbone links. The 62.5/125 µm fiber geometry is a common standard for legacy and current multi-mode installations, balancing performance with compatibility across a wide range of networking equipment.
Each end of the cable terminates with two SC male connectors, providing a duplex connection that supports simultaneous bidirectional data flow. SC connectors are known for their push-pull latching mechanism, which offers secure mating and reliable performance in high-vibration environments.

- Precision ceramic ferrules
- Low insertion loss
Easy Identification
The orange jacket conforms to industry standards for multi-mode fiber, helping technicians quickly identify cable types during installations, troubleshooting, and upgrades.
- Standard multi-mode color
- High visibility in racks
- Reduces installation errors
Deployment / Use Cases
This SC/SC multimode duplex cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and storage devices within data centers, server rooms, and office networks. Its 15-meter length provides flexibility for patching between equipment in adjacent racks or across moderate distances within a building.
Common applications include linking fiber optic transceivers in network switches, extending connections between distribution frames, and integrating with existing OM1 multi-mode fiber infrastructure. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and other network protocols that utilize multi-mode fiber for high-speed data transfer.
Data Center Patching
Use this cable to connect switches to servers or storage arrays within the same rack or across nearby racks, maintaining organized cable management with its manageable length and durable construction.
Network Backbone Links
Deploy as part of a building's fiber backbone to connect network closets or distribution points, leveraging multi-mode fiber's capacity for high-bandwidth connections over shorter distances.

FAQ
What is the difference between this multimode cable and singlemode fiber?
This cable uses multimode fiber (OM1, 62.5/125 µm), which is designed for shorter-distance connections typically within buildings or data centers, supporting distances up to several hundred meters. Singlemode fiber has a smaller core and is used for longer-distance transmissions spanning kilometers. The orange jacket color indicates multimode, while singlemode cables usually have yellow jackets.
What types of network devices is this cable compatible with?
This SC/SC duplex cable is compatible with network devices that have SC fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, servers, and storage systems equipped with multi-mode transceivers. It supports common network protocols like Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet over fiber, making it suitable for business network infrastructure where fiber optic connectivity is required.
Why does this cable have two SC connectors on each end?
The cable features a duplex configuration with two SC connectors on each end to support bidirectional data transmission. One connector typically handles transmit (Tx) signals, while the other handles receive (Rx), allowing simultaneous two-way communication. This duplex setup is standard for fiber optic network connections that require full-duplex operation for optimal performance.
