User Manual
FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This cable features LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other end, both with male terminations. Each end has two connectors (duplex configuration) for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. The LC to SC combination provides flexibility for connecting different types of fiber equipment commonly found in network environments.
What is the cable length and what applications is it suitable for?
The cable is 3 meters long (approximately 9.8 feet), making it ideal for patch panel connections, equipment interconnections in racks, and short-distance network links. This length is well-suited for data center deployments, server room configurations, and network closet installations where devices are typically within close proximity.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen, which refers to the cable jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces like data centers and office buildings where fire safety is critical. The LSZH jacket enhances safety by reducing smoke obscuration and eliminating corrosive gas emissions during combustion.
What data transfer rate does this fiber cable support?
This multimode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. With its 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification and attenuation loss that meets industry standards, it maintains signal integrity for high-speed network applications including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other data-intensive protocols.
What is the difference between multimode and singlemode fiber?
This cable uses multimode fiber technology, which has a larger core diameter (62.5 µm) that allows multiple light modes to propagate simultaneously. Multimode fiber is typically used for shorter distances (up to a few hundred meters) and is more cost-effective than singlemode fiber, which has a smaller core and is designed for longer-distance transmission (kilometers). This multimode cable is ideal for data center and building network applications.
What warranty comes with this fiber optic cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber optic patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your network infrastructure investments.
