FAQ
What is the length of this fiber optic cable?
The cable is 9.8 feet long, which is equivalent to 3 meters. This length is suitable for typical patch cable applications in data centers or office networks, providing enough reach for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch panel connections without excessive slack.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
This cable features ST connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other end, both in male configurations. It is a duplex cable with two connectors per end, allowing for bidirectional data transmission commonly used in fiber optic networking.
What does LSZH jacket mean?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen. This jacket material reduces smoke emission and eliminates halogen gases in the event of a fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces like data centers. It also provides corrosion resistance and flame-retardant properties.
What is the data transfer rate of this cable?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for backbone network connections, server links, and other applications requiring efficient data throughput in enterprise environments.
Is this cable immune to electrical interference?
Yes, as a fiber optic cable, it is completely immune to electrical interference. Unlike copper cables, fiber optics transmit data using light, which is not affected by electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments.
What warranty comes with this cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability and peace of mind for network infrastructure investments.
