Black Box FOCMPM4-004M-LCLC-OR Fiber Optic Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box FOCMPM4-004M-LCLC-OR is a 4-meter duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed network infrastructure. It provides a reliable physical layer connection for 10-Gigabit Ethernet links, compliant with IEEE 802.3ae standards. This cable facilitates an upgrade path from 10-GBPS to 40-GBPS connectivity, ensuring your network can scale with increasing bandwidth demands. Its black color and standard LC connectors make it suitable for integration into most rack-mounted network equipment and data center environments.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard LC duplex fiber optic ports, supporting 10-GBPS Ethernet speeds. It is suitable for use with switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and transceivers that meet IEEE 802.3ae specifications. The cable's construction supports future upgrades to 40-GBPS systems, provided the connected equipment also supports the higher speed.
Installation Notes
Ensure the fiber optic ports on your equipment are clean before connecting the LC connectors to prevent signal degradation or damage. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can exceed the minimum bend radius and attenuate the optical signal. The minimum bend radius for this cable type is typically 30mm (1.2 inches) when under tension and 15mm (0.6 inches) when not under tension. Maintain proper cable management practices to avoid stress on the connectors and fibers.
