User Manual
FAQ
What are the connector types on this fiber optic cable?
This cable has LC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other end. Both ends feature male connectors, with two connectors per end in a duplex configuration for bidirectional data transmission. The LC connectors are compact and commonly used in high-density environments, while ST connectors are robust and widely used in legacy systems.
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable length is 1 meter, which is equivalent to 3.3 feet. This length is suitable for short-distance patching within network racks, between adjacent devices, or in cabinet installations. The measurement includes the entire cable from connector to connector, providing a practical reach for typical fiber optic connections.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen, indicating that the cable jacket produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This is crucial for safety in enclosed spaces like data centers or building plenums, as it reduces toxic emissions and improves visibility during emergencies, complying with strict environmental and fire safety standards.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel, or data center interconnects. The multimode fiber with 62.5/125 µm core ensures efficient light transmission for reliable performance at this speed over short distances.
Is this cable immune to electrical interference?
Yes, this fiber optic cable is immune to electrical interference because it uses light rather than electrical signals to transmit data. This immunity makes it ideal for environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as industrial settings or areas near power cables, ensuring stable and error-free data transmission without signal degradation.
What warranty does this cable come with?
This cable comes with a lifetime warranty from StarTech.com, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of the product's life. This warranty provides long-term assurance of quality and reliability, supporting its use in critical network infrastructure where downtime must be minimized.
