Black Box 9.8ft EFN110 OM1 LC to LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable (Orange)

Overview

The Black Box EFN110-003M-LCLC is a 9.8-foot fiber optic patch cable designed to provide reliable and high-clarity connections between network devices within the same room or rack. It uses OM1 multimode fiber with a 62.5/125 µm core, making it well suited for short-range data transmission. The cable features low insertion loss of just 0.3 dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation for clear and consistent communication.

Key features

• Low insertion loss of 0.3 dB supports clear and stable signal transmission across connected devices.
• LC to LC connectors occupy less space than traditional SC or ST connectors, allowing higher port density on patch panels and easier cable routing in tight spaces.
• OM1 multimode fiber core is optimized for short distance links, ideal for rack-to-rack or panel-to-device connections.
• PVC jacket with OFNR/FT4 rating provides durability and meets riser fire safety codes, suitable for installation in building risers and wiring closets.
• Wide operational temperature range from -4 to 167 °F ensures reliable performance in various environmental conditions.
• Manufactured to IEC 60793-2 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality and signal integrity in professional network environments.
