Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS141V1118 6M LC-LC OS2 Duplex Plenum Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

This 6-meter Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS141V1118 is a duplex, OS2 singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Its plenum-rated jacket (OFNP) makes it suitable for installation within air-handling spaces, such as ceilings and risers, ensuring compliance with building codes. The TAA compliance means it meets requirements for government procurements. This cable is essential for connecting network equipment like switches, routers, and media converters where reliable, high-speed data transfer is critical.

Compatibility

This cable utilizes standard LC (Lucent Connector) duplex connectors, ensuring broad compatibility with most network switches, fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, SFP+), media converters, and network interface cards that support LC duplex connections. It is designed for use with OS2 9/125 micron singlemode fiber optic infrastructure, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and higher speeds over extended distances. It is compatible with equipment from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HP, and others that adhere to industry standards for fiber optic connectivity.

Installation Notes

The plenum (OFNP) rating requires careful installation to avoid damage, as the jacket is designed for fire resistance and low smoke production in plenum spaces. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 5 cm (2 inches) for the OS2 singlemode fiber to prevent signal loss or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to guarantee optimal performance and longevity. The duplex configuration means two fibers are used for simultaneous transmit and receive operations.
