User Manual
FAQ
What types of devices can I connect with this fiber patch cable?
This cable is designed to connect network devices with LC and SC fiber interfaces, including switches, routers, patch panels, hubs, and other fiber optic equipment. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional data transmission for complete network links.
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber, and why does this cable use single-mode?
Single-mode fiber has a smaller core (9/125 µm) that allows only one light mode to propagate, enabling longer distance transmission with lower signal loss compared to multimode fiber. This cable uses single-mode OS1 fiber, making it suitable for backbone and long-reach applications up to 10 kilometers or more.
What does LSZH jacket mean, and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen. This jacket material produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire, reducing toxic fumes and corrosion risks in enclosed spaces like data centers. It enhances safety and complies with strict building and fire codes.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it compatible with high-speed network standards including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet. The single-mode fiber and quality construction ensure signal integrity at these speeds over the full 10-meter length.
Are the connectors on this cable male or female?
Both the LC and SC connectors on this cable are male gender. Each end features two male connectors (duplex configuration) – two LC male connectors on one end and two SC male connectors on the other end, designed to plug into corresponding female ports on network equipment.
What warranty comes with this fiber patch cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this fiber patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects the durable construction and reliability expected from enterprise-grade networking components.
