Slim Specs Table

Engineered for High-Density Push-Pull Deployment

The push-pull tabs on each LC connector allow for quick connection and removal. This design is useful in high-density patch panels where space is limited. The tabs reduce the need for extra tools. They help prevent accidental disconnection of adjacent cables. This feature supports faster installation and maintenance tasks.

Bend Insensitive Performance

This cable uses bend-insensitive fibre. It supports a bending radius of 6 cm. This allows for tighter turns without significant signal loss. The design handles micro and macro bends common in crowded racks. It maintains low attenuation even when routed through cable management arms.

LSZH Safety for UK Environments

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). This material emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen compounds when exposed to heat or fire. It is suitable for UK installations with strict building regulations. This includes confined spaces like trains, aircraft, and industrial settings. Always verify local fire safety compliance for your specific site.

OM4 Performance and Compatibility

This OM4 cable supports 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths. It is optimised for VCSEL and LED sources. The cable is backward compatible with OM3 and 1/10/40G networks. This ensures a reliable upgrade path for legacy fibre infrastructures. It uses ceramic ferrules for precise alignment and low insertion loss.

Precision Connectors and Polarity

The LC connectors feature UPC polish. This improves return loss characteristics. The colour-coded duplex connectors help ensure error-free polarity configuration. Retractable strain-relief housings allow for toolless in-field polarity swapping if needed. This flexibility simplifies network reconfiguration.
