Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes OM4-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125µm core/cladding diameter, engineered for minimal insertion loss and high signal integrity over distances up to 15 meters. The cable supports data rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for 40G and 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols.
The duplex construction features two separate fibers within a single jacket, each terminated with precision LC connectors. Both ends use LC connectors—End A with two male LC connectors and End B with two LC connectors—ensuring compatibility with standard LC fiber optic ports. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material is flame-retardant and corrosion-resistant, meeting safety standards for use in ventilation-limited areas.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this fiber optic cable?
This cable is 15 meters long, which is equivalent to 49.2 feet. This length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within racks or between nearby cabinets in data centers and network rooms, reducing the need for additional splicing or extenders.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
The cable uses LC connectors on both ends. End A has two male LC connectors, and End B has two LC connectors, configured in a duplex arrangement. LC connectors are widely used in fiber optics for their small size and secure latching mechanism, making them suitable for high-density installations.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This OM4 multimode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s. It is designed for high-speed applications such as 40G and 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other protocols that require reliable, low-loss fiber connections over short to medium distances.
What does LSZH jacket mean, and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that is flame-retardant and emits minimal toxic smoke when exposed to fire. This is crucial for safety in enclosed spaces like data centers or ventilation-limited areas, as it reduces the risk of hazardous fumes and improves compliance with building codes.
Is this cable single-mode or multimode?
This is a multimode fiber optic cable, specifically OM4 grade with a 50/125µm core/cladding. Multimode fiber is typically used for shorter-distance, high-bandwidth applications within buildings or campuses, offering cost-effective performance for speeds up to 100 Gbit/s over distances like 15 meters.
What color is the cable, and does it affect performance?
The cable has an aqua-colored jacket, which is standard for OM4 multimode fiber to aid in visual identification. The color does not impact electrical performance but helps network technicians quickly distinguish cable types in complex cabling environments, improving organization and maintenance efficiency.
