Know before you buy
A Plenum (CMP) rating indicates that the cable jacket is made of fire-retardant materials designed to minimize smoke and flame spread. This is a requirement for installing cables in air-handling spaces, such as above drop ceilings or under raised floors.
Yes, this cable is specifically engineered for high-speed 40G data center applications. It utilizes OS2 single-mode fiber and genuine US Conec MTP connectors to ensure the necessary performance for these high-bandwidth links.
The FiberShield design incorporates DuPont Kevlar and extra PVC jacketing to provide superior physical protection. This construction makes the cable five times stronger than standard fiber patch cords, helping to prevent damage during installation or in high-traffic environments.
Yes, every cable is serialized for quality tracking and includes an individual performance test report. This ensures you have verified data confirming the cable meets its specified performance standards before installation.
This cable uses Method B polarity, which is a Key-up to Key-up configuration. It is important to verify that your existing transceivers and equipment are compatible with Method B before purchasing.
This specific assembly features MTP Male connectors on both ends. Please ensure your equipment ports are configured to accept male connectors, which typically require a female-to-female adapter or a transceiver interface.
