FAQ
What is the length of this fiber patch cable?
The cable is 4 meters long, equivalent to 13.1 feet. This length is suitable for connecting network devices within racks, between adjacent equipment, or in small to medium-sized network setups without requiring excessive cable management.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
One end features two LC male connectors, and the other end has two SC male connectors. This LC to SC duplex configuration allows connections between devices with different interface types, commonly found in mixed network environments.
Is this a single-mode or multimode fiber cable?
This is a single-mode fiber cable with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, classified as OS1. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with low signal loss, making it ideal for backbone links and high-speed data centers.
What does LSZH jacket mean?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen. The jacket material minimizes smoke emission and excludes halogen compounds, reducing toxic fumes and corrosion risks in fire situations. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or populated spaces like server rooms.
What data transfer rate does this cable support?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s. This high bandwidth capability ensures compatibility with modern network equipment, facilitating fast and reliable data transmission for applications such as high-speed networking and data storage.
What devices can I connect with this cable?
You can connect various network devices, including switches, routers, hubs, and patch panels. The LC and SC connectors are standard in fiber optic networking, allowing integration with most fiber-enabled equipment in enterprise and data center environments.
