Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes single-mode technology with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for high-bandwidth, long-distance data transmission. The LC connectors provide a small form factor that supports high-density patching in racks and enclosures, while the male connectors ensure secure, push-pull mating with corresponding female ports. The cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity and low attenuation across its length, supporting network performance requirements.
The simplex design indicates a single fiber strand within the cable, suitable for one-way transmission or bidirectional applications with wavelength division multiplexing. This configuration is common in point-to-point links, backbone connections, and patch panel interconnects where precise, reliable fiber links are critical.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable combines technical precision with practical durability, offering several advantages for network deployments. Its single-mode fiber and OS2 rating ensure compatibility with high-speed, long-reach network standards, while the LC connectors provide a reliable, industry-standard interface that minimizes installation time and maintenance issues.
Reliable Connectivity
The LC male connectors on both ends deliver consistent, low-loss connections that reduce signal degradation and support stable network performance.
- Secure push-pull latching mechanism
- Precision-polished ferrule for optimal light transmission
- Compatible with standard LC adapters and panels
Durable Construction
The yellow jacket not only aids in cable identification but also provides physical protection against bending, crushing, and environmental factors in installed environments.
- High-quality fiber with tight buffer coating
- Flexible yet robust cable design
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use when OS2 rated
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, media converters, and servers in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications setups. Its 9.8-foot length offers flexibility for short to medium-distance patching within racks, between adjacent equipment, or in confined spaces where excess cable management is a concern.
Common applications include linking fiber optic transceivers in network switches, establishing backbone links between distribution frames, and providing patch connections in fiber distribution panels. The single-mode simplex design is particularly effective for long-haul transmissions, high-speed data links, and environments where signal clarity over distance is paramount.
Data Center Patching
Use this cable to interconnect fiber ports on network switches, servers, or storage arrays within a rack or across adjacent racks, ensuring clean, organized cabling with minimal slack.
Network Backbone Links
Deploy it as part of a fiber backbone to connect different network segments or buildings, leveraging its single-mode characteristics for efficient long-distance data transport.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber, and why does this cable use single-mode?
Single-mode fiber has a smaller core (9 µm) that allows only one light mode to propagate, enabling longer transmission distances and higher bandwidth with less signal loss compared to multimode fiber. This cable uses single-mode fiber because it is designed for applications requiring reliable data transmission over longer distances, such as network backbones, data center interconnects, or telecommunications links, where performance over extended reaches is critical.
What does the OS2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OS2 is a performance specification for single-mode fiber optic cables, indicating they are suitable for outdoor and loose-tube installations. Cables with an OS2 rating are engineered to withstand environmental factors like moisture, temperature variations, and mechanical stress, making them ideal for use in conduit, aerial, or direct burial applications. This rating ensures the cable maintains signal integrity and durability in demanding deployment scenarios beyond standard indoor patching.
Can I use this LC/LC cable with equipment that has SC or other connector types?
This cable has LC male connectors on both ends, so it directly connects to devices with LC female ports. To interface with equipment featuring SC or other connector types, you would need a compatible adapter or a different cable with the appropriate connectors. LC connectors are widely used in high-density environments due to their small form factor, but ensure your network devices support LC interfaces before deployment to avoid compatibility issues.
What are typical applications for a 9.8-foot simplex fiber optic cable like this one?
This 9.8-foot simplex cable is commonly used for patch connections within network racks, linking fiber ports on switches, routers, or servers over short to medium distances. It is ideal for data center environments, telecom closets, or enterprise networks where precise, low-slack cabling is needed to connect adjacent equipment or patch panels. The simplex design supports point-to-point links for one-way data flow or can be used in pairs for bidirectional communication.
