Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS221V2082 100G OM4 LC-SC Duplex Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS221V2082 is a duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed networking applications. It features OM4 multimode fiber, providing the bandwidth necessary for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GBASE-SR4 and similar standards) and other data-intensive deployments. This cable connects equipment with LC connectors to devices utilizing SC connectors, bridging common interface types in data centers and enterprise networks. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals, crucial for full-duplex communication.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with network switches, routers, servers, and other network interface cards that utilize LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other. It is specifically suited for environments requiring 100Gbps connectivity over multimode fiber, such as high-performance computing clusters, storage area networks (SANs), and backbone interconnections within large data centers. Ensure your network equipment supports OM4 fiber specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

When installing, avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of OM4 fiber to prevent signal degradation or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain signal integrity and prevent contamination of ports. The cable's duplex nature means it consists of two fibers, typically color-coded for transmit (TX) and receive (RX) paths, which must be correctly oriented during connection.
