Know before you buy
The LCElite technology is designed to achieve an ultra-low insertion loss of under 0.09dB. This minimizes signal degradation, which is essential for maintaining high data integrity in demanding 10G, 40G, and 100G network environments.
Yes, the 360-degree flex angle boots are specifically engineered to reduce stress and fiber congestion in crowded patch panels, making them ideal for high-density data center installations.
Yes, OM4 fiber is backward compatible with OM3 fiber. However, to maintain the performance benefits of the OM4 standard, it is best to ensure the entire link supports the higher bandwidth requirements.
A Riser-rated (OFNR) jacket is designed to prevent the spread of fire between floors in a building. It is suitable for vertical installations in conduit or non-plenum spaces, but you should check your local building codes to ensure it meets your specific safety requirements.
Yes, each cable is serialized and includes a full test report. This ensures quality tracking and provides verification that the cable meets its specified performance standards before it reaches you.
