Duplex armored FO patch cord 50/125 SC-SC, OEM 11283, 110 m

Duplex armored FO patch cord 50/125 SC-SC, OEM 11283, 110 m is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord with SC connectors on both ends and an outer mechanical armor for enhanced protection. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber suitable for short- to medium-distance data links. The 110 meter length and armored construction are intended for installations where additional crush, abrasion and rodent resistance are required while maintaining standard multimode optical performance for data center, campus and industrial wiring.

Advantages

The armored jacket increases mechanical protection against crushing and gnawing without altering the standard multimode 50/125 optical parameters. Duplex SC-SC connectors provide reliable, keyed connections compatible with common multimode equipment. The 110 m length reduces the need for intermediate splices in long indoor/outdoor routes and simplifies cable management for longer runs. The product is designed for straightforward insertion into existing multimode systems while offering added durability in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and inter-rack multimode links
• Campus backbone runs requiring mechanical protection
• Industrial installations with exposure to mechanical stress or rodent activity
• Indoor/outdoor transition routes where an armored cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Fiber type: 50/125 µm multimode fiber
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Connector type: SC to SC (duplex)
• Length: 110 meters
• Jacket: armored outer layer for mechanical protection

How to use

Install the duplex armored FO patch cord by securing one SC connector into the corresponding multimode SC adapter or transceiver on each end, ensuring proper alignment of the keyed connector housings. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines for multimode fiber and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Use appropriate cable clamps or trays to support the cable along its run and protect the ends from contamination by keeping dust caps on until connection. For indoor/outdoor transition points, ensure the cable entry point is sealed and strain relief is applied to prevent tension on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your multimode equipment (50/125 µm) and inspect connector endfaces before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius and secure the armored cable to prevent point loads; avoid repeated flexing at the connector junctions to preserve optical performance over time.
