Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS353V11729 1M OM4 LC LC Armored 100G Duplex Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS353V11729 is a 1-meter, OM4, LC-LC duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 100Gbps. Its armored construction provides enhanced physical protection against crushing and pulling forces, making it suitable for demanding environments like data centers or industrial networks where cable integrity is critical. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire, a key consideration for plenum spaces and occupied areas. This cable is engineered for reliable 100G Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex fiber optic connectors. It is specifically designed for 100Gbps Ethernet (40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and future 100G standards utilizing duplex LC connections) and other high-speed multimode fiber applications. It supports all network switches, routers, and transceivers that utilize OM4 multimode fiber with LC connectors, including equipment from major network hardware vendors.

Installation Notes

The armored construction requires careful handling during installation to avoid kinking the inner fiber core. Ensure bends are kept to a minimum radius of 50mm (2 inches) for the armored cable to prevent signal loss. The LC connectors are push-pull latching, requiring a firm but gentle push to engage and a slight pull on the connector tab to release. Verify connector cleanliness before insertion into transceivers or patch panels.
