Hubbell DFHPCSNLCF3MM Plenum Rated Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell DFHPCSNLCF3MM is a 3-meter, plenum-rated, duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-bandwidth data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Featuring SN and LC connectors, this cord is built to meet stringent fire safety codes for in-wall installations, making it suitable for data centers, telecommunications rooms, and other critical infrastructure where plenum-rated cabling is mandatory. Its OM3/OM4 rating ensures compatibility with high-speed network equipment and future-proofing for increased data demands.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, or patch panels utilizing SN and LC fiber optic connectors. The OM3/OM4 multimode specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it suitable for a wide range of enterprise networking applications, including backbone connections and server interconnects. It is designed for use with systems requiring plenum-rated cable jackets for fire safety compliance.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The plenum-rated jacket provides superior fire resistance but may be less flexible than standard PVC jackets; avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 1 inch or 25mm for OM3/OM4) to prevent signal loss or damage. The 3-meter length is ideal for connecting equipment within a single rack or between adjacent racks.
