This section confirms the exact model for procurement and installation checks. It is a 10-metre duplex patch cable with LC male connectors at both ends. The yellow LSZH jacket aids cable identification in dense patch panels. Verify connector polish and adapter type before ordering.

Single-mode fibre for structured cabling

The 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding support OS2 single-mode performance. In practice, this reduces modal dispersion for stable 1 Gbit/s links. Use it for backbone runs or switch-to-switch jumps within a cabinet.

LC connectors for high-density patching

LC connectors offer a small form factor for dense patch panels. They are push-pull and latch securely in standard couplers. Also, the duplex clip keeps pairs organised and reduces polarity errors.

LSZH jacket for indoor safety

The low smoke zero halogen jacket limits toxic fumes during fire. Because of this, it is suitable for offices and public buildings. However, confirm local fire regulations for containment routes.

10 m length with 40 mm bend radius

A 10-metre length supports common rack and aisle spans. The 40 mm bending radius protects the glass from stress loss. So, avoid tight zip-tie pulls and sharp corners.

Operating temperature and environment

The cable operates from -60 °C to +85 °C. This range covers most UK indoor environments and external cabinets. Also, verify that the enclosure meets your site’s thermal profile.

Duplex support for bidirectional links

The duplex design supports bidirectional transmission over separate fibres. It suits simple point-to-point links without media converters. However, confirm transceiver compatibility at both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable single-mode or multimode?

A: It is single-mode OS2 with a 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding.

Q: Are the connectors male or female?

A: Both connectors are male LC plugs for direct port insertion.

Q: Does the cable support 10 Gbit/s?

A: The input specifies 1 Gbit/s support. For 10 Gbit/s, confirm transceiver and link budget.

Q: What is the jacket material?

A: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), coloured yellow for identification.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius?

A: The bending radius is 40 mm. Maintain this to avoid signal loss.

Q: What is the operating temperature?

A: -60 °C to +85 °C. Verify suitability for your cabinet or outdoor enclosure.
