Know before you buy
Yes. This cable features a plenum-rated (CMP) jacket, which meets the necessary fire safety standards for installation in ceilings, walls, and other air-handling environments.
The Angled Physical Contact (APC) connectors are polished at an angle to minimize back reflection. This ensures higher signal integrity and better performance for sensitive high-speed networking applications.
They are highly effective in high-density environments. The tabs allow you to easily insert or remove the connector with one hand, even when the surrounding ports are tightly packed.
Yes, this cable is specifically designed for use with QSFP+ enterprise applications, including 40GBASE-PLR4 transceivers.
In fiber optic networking, the yellow jacket is the industry-standard color coding used to identify singlemode fiber cables, helping you distinguish them from multimode cables at a glance.
Yes, it is engineered to support high-speed data transmission rates of up to 100 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding enterprise data center requirements.
