Patchbox .one Cassette 30RU OM4 LC-LC Fiber Optic Cable 1.8 m 50 µm

The Patchbox .one Cassette 30RU OM4 LC-LC Fiber Optic Cable 1.8 m 50 µm is an advanced network equipment accessory designed specifically for modern professional networking environments and data centers. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with 30RU network setups, this cassette features a high-performance OM4 fiber optic cable with LC-LC connectors. The 1.8-meter cable utilizes a 50 µm core diameter to ensure reliable, high-speed data transmission capable of supporting up to 100 Gbit/s network speeds. Built with Corning® ClearCurve® technology and durable low smoke zero halogen jacket material, it delivers exceptional flexibility and precise multi-mode fiber patching while maintaining top-tier safety standards.

Advantages

This fiber optic cassette system helps keep server racks permanently organized while reducing installation and troubleshooting time significantly. By optimizing cable routing, it frees up valuable space within network cabinets, allowing for a cleaner and more efficient layout. The high-performance multi-mode fiber construction supports demanding data transmission rates up to 100 Gbit/s for mission-critical applications. Additionally, the color-coded design simplifies visual identification, making network maintenance faster and more straightforward.

Suitable for

• Data center server rack organization and fiber patching
• High-speed enterprise network infrastructure setups
• Professional telecommunications and IT distribution cabinets
• Modular network architectures requiring frequent expansions

When it may not be suitable

This product is not compatible with network setups utilizing single-mode fiber infrastructure or non-matching connector types without appropriate adapters. It may also be less ideal for enclosures that do not support standard 30RU Patchbox frame configurations or cassette-based cable management systems.

How to use

To install the cassette, securely mount it into a compatible Patchbox frame designed for 30RU network setups. Route the LC-LC fiber optic cable carefully to the corresponding ports on your network switches or patch panels, ensuring the bend radius remains within safe operational limits. Use the modular design to mix and match with other compatible cassettes as your infrastructure evolves, and rely on the color-coded housing for quick visual identification during routine maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network rack uses compatible 30RU Patchbox frames
• Confirm that your equipment requires OM4 multi-mode LC-LC fiber connections
• Check that the 1.8-meter cable length is appropriate for the distance between your patched devices

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the fiber connectors for dust or debris before plugging them into active ports, and always use clean optical inspection tools to maintain optimal signal integrity and performance.
