Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes LC connectors, which provide a small-form-factor solution for high-density network environments. The duplex configuration with two LC male connectors on each end ensures proper polarity for bidirectional data transmission.
The 50/125 µm multimode fiber core is optimized for short to medium distance applications, typically within data centers or between network equipment in the same rack or adjacent racks. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket rating indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors in riser shafts, meeting specific fire safety standards.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The zip cord feature allows installers to easily separate the two fibers for individual routing or termination, simplifying cable management in crowded network cabinets. This design flexibility makes the cable adaptable to various installation scenarios without compromising performance.
High-Speed Connectivity
Supports 10 GbE data transfer rates for efficient network performance in demanding environments.
- 10 Gbit/s throughput
- Low latency fiber optic transmission
- Suitable for backbone connections
Durable Construction
Features an OFNR-rated PVC jacket that provides protection and meets riser application requirements.
- PVC jacket material
- OFNR fire safety rating
- Aqua color for easy identification
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC-LC duplex patch cable is ideal for connecting SFP+ or similar optical transceivers in network switches, routers, and servers. The 32.8-foot length provides flexibility for equipment placement within racks or between adjacent racks while maintaining signal integrity.
The multimode fiber construction makes this cable particularly suitable for short-distance applications where cost-effective fiber solutions are preferred over single-mode alternatives. Common deployment scenarios include connecting storage area network (SAN) equipment, linking network switches in stacked configurations, or providing high-speed connections between servers and network infrastructure.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches, routers, and servers within data center environments where high-speed, reliable fiber connections are essential.
Network Equipment Links
Establish connections between network devices and transceivers in server rooms, telecommunications closets, or enterprise network infrastructure.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This cable features LC connectors on both ends, with two LC male connectors on each end in a duplex configuration. The LC connector is a small-form-factor solution commonly used in high-density network environments for its reliable performance and compact size.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
The Black Box FO10G-010M-LCLC supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 GbE). This makes it suitable for high-speed network applications including data center interconnects, server connections, and network backbone links where fast data transmission is essential.
What does the OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser. This rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser shafts between floors. OFNR-rated cables produce limited smoke and are non-conductive, making them suitable for riser applications in commercial buildings.
What is the significance of the 50/125 µm fiber specification?
The 50/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multimode fiber. The 50-micron core and 125-micron cladding are standard dimensions for OM2/OM3 multimode fiber, which is optimized for short to medium distance applications typically found in data centers and enterprise networks.
How does the zip cord feature benefit installation?
The zip cord design allows the two fibers in the duplex cable to be easily separated along their length. This enables installers to route individual fibers separately when needed, providing flexibility during cable management in crowded network cabinets while maintaining the organized duplex structure where desired.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This fiber optic patch cable is compatible with network devices equipped with LC fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, servers, and transceivers that support multimode fiber connections. It's designed for use with SFP+ and similar optical transceivers in 10 GbE network environments.
