FAQ
What type of fiber does this patch cable use?
This cable uses single-mode fiber with 9/125 µm core/cladding specifications. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for data center and telecommunications applications where signal integrity over distance is critical.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature LC connectors in a duplex configuration, with 2 x LC Network - Male connectors on each end. The LC connector's compact design allows for high-density installations while providing secure push-pull latching for reliable connections in network equipment and patch panels.
What does the OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser, indicating the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for riser applications. This rating means the cable can be installed in vertical runs between floors while providing fire resistance and low smoke generation properties for building safety compliance.
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable measures 3.2 feet (0.98 meters) in length. This short patch length is ideal for connections within equipment racks or between adjacent network devices, minimizing cable clutter while providing sufficient reach for typical data center and telecom interconnection scenarios.
