Cables To Go 85604 Fiber Optic Cable, 1m, LC to LC, Single-mode, OFNR, Yellow

The Cables To Go 85604 is a high-performance 1-meter fiber optic patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed data transmission for demanding networking environments. Featuring LC to LC connectors, this single-mode cable is engineered for precision and durability, making it an essential component for connecting fiber optic equipment in professional setups. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications, delivering high bandwidth over extended distances.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers exceptional signal integrity by being completely immune to electrical interference, which is critical for maintaining stable network connections. The cable utilizes a specialized injection molding process that enhances the durability of the connectors, allowing them to better withstand the physical stresses of pulling, straining, and impacts during installation. Furthermore, every individual cable undergoes rigorous optical inspection and insertion loss testing to ensure it meets high quality standards before reaching the user. The inclusion of a low smoke zero halogen jacket provides an added layer of safety by minimizing the release of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of exposure to extreme heat or combustion.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet networking
• High-speed data centers
• Vertical riser applications
• Fiber optic equipment connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed specifically for single-mode fiber optic systems and will not function with multi-mode fiber hardware. It is also not intended for outdoor environments where direct exposure to moisture or UV radiation is expected, as the jacket is optimized for indoor riser applications.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Fiber type: 9/125 Single-mode
• Jacket rating: OFNR and LSZH
• Communication: Full-duplex

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors on both ends. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your networking device, ensuring the latch is oriented correctly. Gently insert the connector until you hear a distinct click, indicating that it is securely locked in place. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the internal glass fiber.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports single-mode LC connections.
• Measure the required distance to ensure the 1-meter length is sufficient.
• Confirm that the installation environment meets the requirements for OFNR-rated cabling.

Usage recommendations

Always keep the connector tips clean and free of dust or oils. Use a fiber optic cleaning tool before each connection to ensure optimal signal transmission and prevent permanent damage to the optical interface.
