Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS160V1311 OM4 LC-SC Fiber Patch Cable Plenum

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS160V1311 is a duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise networks. It features OM4 multimode fiber, terminated with LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other. The plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, meeting stringent fire safety codes for in-wall and ceiling runs. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for 10Gbps and higher Ethernet applications, supporting data center and backbone infrastructure needs.

Compatibility

This FCDUS160V1311 cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC (e.g., SFP+ transceivers) and SC (e.g., older fiber switches, patch panels) fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, servers, and fiber optic patch panels from major manufacturers that support OM4 multimode fiber specifications for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4) up to specified distances. Ensure your transceivers and equipment are rated for OM4 fiber.

Installation Notes

The plenum-rated jacket (CL2P/CMP) requires careful handling to avoid damage, but offers superior fire resistance and low smoke emission compared to non-plenum cables. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 20mm (0.79 inches) for duplex fiber to prevent signal loss or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent contamination, which can degrade performance. The cable is designed for static installations within building infrastructure.
