Black Box FOCMPSM-LCLC-RD-73 Duplex Patch Cable - Red
Overview
The Black Box FOCMPSM-LCLC-RD-73 is a duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling environments. Its red jacket provides clear visual identification, differentiating it from other cable types and simplifying network management, particularly in high-density deployments. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices, fiber optic transceivers, and patch panels where a secure, high-performance link is required.
Compatibility
This patch cable utilizes standard LC connectors on both ends, making it compatible with a wide range of network equipment that features LC ports. This includes fiber optic transceivers (SFP, SFP+, QSFP), network switches, routers, media converters, and fiber optic patch panels from various manufacturers. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals, essential for full-duplex communication protocols.
Installation Notes
When installing, ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as excessive bending can attenuate the optical signal. The minimum bend radius for this cable type is typically 30mm. The red jacket aids in identifying the cable path within racks and conduits, streamlining installation and troubleshooting.
