Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes multimode technology with a 62.5/125 µm core, optimized for short to medium-distance data transmission within buildings or campuses. The duplex configuration ensures bidirectional communication, essential for modern network setups requiring simultaneous send and receive channels.
The connectors are precision-engineered with LC on one end and SC on the other, both male gender, providing a secure and low-loss connection. Attenuation loss meets or exceeds industry standards, ensuring signal integrity over the 5-meter length. The cable is immune to electrical interference, making it ideal for environments with high electromagnetic noise.
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.
