Black Box FOCMR10-005M-STLC-AQ OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box FOCMR10-005M-STLC-AQ is a 5-meter OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in enterprise and security networks. Featuring an aqua OFNR (plenum-rated) PVC jacket, this cable ensures safe installation in building risers and plenum spaces. It terminates with an ST connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, providing essential connectivity between network devices like transceivers, switches, and cameras. This specific configuration is critical for bridging equipment with different connector types, ensuring seamless integration within your infrastructure. The FOCMR10-005M-STLC-AQ model is built to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications common in surveillance systems and data centers.
Compatibility
This ST to LC patch cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring corresponding ST and LC fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers that utilize these connector types. It is designed to work with OM3 multimode fiber specifications, ensuring optimal performance for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications where the distance requirements are met. Use this cable to connect devices within the same rack or between adjacent racks where an ST connector is present on one device and an LC connector on another, such as linking a media converter to a switch or connecting a camera's fiber optic transceiver to the network backbone.
Installation Notes
The OFNR (plenum-rated) PVC jacket allows for installation in building risers and air-handling spaces, adhering to safety codes. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25mm) for the cable to prevent signal degradation or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid performance issues. The ST connector utilizes a bayonet-style coupling, while the LC connector uses a standard push-pull latch mechanism.
