1m OM1 Duplex Patch Cable

This 1-metre OM1 multimode duplex jumper connects transceivers, switches and patch panels in data-centre and enterprise networks. The orange OFNR jacket is rated for in-building riser runs, and the 62.5/125 µm core matches legacy OM1 infrastructure. It ships new and ready for immediate deployment.

Push-pull LC installation

Each end uses a precision ceramic LC/UPC ferrule with push-pull latching so the connector seats securely without tools. The duplex clip keeps transmit and receive fibres paired and correctly oriented, reducing the risk of crossed polarity. The main issue installers report is debris on the ferrule end-face, which raises insertion loss until cleaned with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol.

OM1 distance headroom

The cable supports 1000BASE-SX and 10GBASE-SR links at the standard OM1 reach, so Gigabit and 10 Gigabit short-range segments run without errors. Beyond the OM1 distance limit for 10G the signal budget is exhausted and a higher-grade fibre or shorter run is required. It does not suit single-mode transceivers or long-haul wavelengths.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the patch cable is passing traffic correctly after connecting it between two SFP+ transceivers?

Verify link lights on both ports show solid green and run a 10GBASE-SR or 1000BASE-SX traffic test to confirm error-free throughput at the rated speed.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to connect it to my switches?

The package includes the 1m OM1 duplex LC/UPC jumper with Corning fiber and OFNR jacket; no additional parts are required if your switches accept LC connectors.

Which length should I choose for a short rack-to-rack run inside the same cabinet?

The 1m (3 ft) length is designed for short in-rack or adjacent-rack connections; longer runs would require a different cable length.
