Add-On ADD-MODE-SCSC6-3 SC Duplex Riser-Rated Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-MODE-SCSC6-3 is a 6-foot duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for extending network connectivity in surveillance and IT infrastructure. It features SC male connectors on both ends, terminated with a riser-rated orange jacket, making it suitable for in-wall and between-floor installations where plenum-rated cable is not required. This cable is critical for bridging distances between network switches, media converters, or directly connecting network devices that utilize fiber optic interfaces, ensuring reliable data transmission for video streams or network traffic.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard SC male fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, fiber media converters, and network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers that require SC duplex connections. It is particularly useful for extending the reach of IP camera systems or connecting network segments in commercial buildings where copper Ethernet limitations are a factor.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation. The riser-rated jacket is suitable for vertical runs within non-plenum spaces. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 10x cable diameter) to prevent signal loss or cable damage. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals over two separate fibers.
