What this cable is and who uses it

This Black Box fibre optic patch cable has a 62.5/125 µm multimode core and LC male connectors on both ends. The 1 m orange PVC jacket makes it easy to identify in dense patch panels. It suits network engineers linking switches, transceivers or patch panels in campus or data-centre multimode runs.

Check your patch-panel ports and fibre type

Verify that both ends of your link accept LC duplex connectors and that the active equipment supports 62.5 µm multimode transmission. Confirm the required polarity for your transceiver pair before installation. Ensure the pathway can accommodate a 1 m patch lead without sharp bends.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

As a passive glass-fibre assembly the cable generates no heat and draws no power during operation. It adds no audible noise to the rack environment. The PVC jacket is rated for indoor use and meets standard flame-retardancy requirements for premises wiring.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 m orange cable arrive with both LC ends fitted, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable is supplied as a complete patch lead with two LC male connectors already terminated on each end, so no extra connectors are required.

How do I decide between the 62.5 µm multimode, 50 µm multimode, 10 GbE laser-optimised 50 µm and 9 µm single-mode versions?

Choose 62.5 µm multimode for legacy LAN links, 50 µm multimode for general campus runs, laser-optimised 50 µm for 10 GbE segments, and 9 µm single-mode for longer campus or metro distances.

What does the 3.28 ft length mean when the cable is routed inside a rack?

At 3.28 ft the lead reaches between adjacent patch panels or switch ports in the same rack with enough slack for neat cable management.
