Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable is manufactured from 62.5/125 duplex (Zipcord) fiber, which offers optimal performance for short-distance multimode applications. Every connector undergoes insertion loss testing with typical results of 0.2dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation and reliable connectivity.
The cable meets riser rating requirements for vertical installation between floors, providing flexibility in deployment scenarios. The LC connectors offer a small form factor that saves space in high-density patch panels while maintaining secure connections.
Relevant factors for this section include Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Cable Core/Cladding Specification, Color Family. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this patch cable use?
This Tripp Lite patch cable uses 62.5/125 µm duplex multimode fiber, also known as Zipcord construction. This fiber type is specifically designed for short-distance applications common in local area networks and is compatible with Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) standards. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous bidirectional data transmission.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends of the cable feature LC connectors, with two LC connectors on each end to support the duplex fiber configuration. LC connectors offer a small form factor that saves space in high-density patch panels while providing secure, reliable connections. This symmetrical connector arrangement simplifies installation and cable management.
What does 'riser rated' mean for this cable?
Riser rating indicates that this cable meets safety standards for vertical installation in riser spaces between building floors. Unlike plenum-rated cables designed for air-handling spaces, riser-rated cables are suitable for vertical runs in shafts and risers where fire safety is a consideration but not in environmental air spaces. This rating expands deployment options in multi-story buildings.
What is the typical insertion loss for this cable?
Each connector on this Tripp Lite patch cable undergoes insertion loss testing with typical results of 0.2dB. Insertion loss measures the signal power loss that occurs when inserting a connector into a transmission line, with lower values indicating better performance. The 0.2dB typical insertion loss ensures minimal signal degradation for reliable data transmission.
What applications is this fiber patch cable designed for?
This cable is designed for local area network (LAN) applications where fiber links are 10 feet or less, making it ideal for connecting network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. The 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber and FDDI rating ensure compatibility with existing network infrastructure while supporting reliable data transmission over short distances.
What warranty comes with this fiber optic patch cable?
Tripp Lite 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 reliability assurance for your network infrastructure investment. The warranty reflects the durable construction and quality testing performed on each cable.
