Know before you buy
The armored design includes a protective metal layer beneath the outer PVC jacket. This provides extra resistance against crushing, rodent damage, and accidental impact, making it much more durable than standard fiber patch cables.
Yes, this cable comes with pre-terminated LC connectors, which are standard for most SFP transceivers and fiber patch panels. It is ready for immediate plug-and-play installation.
While this 40-meter cable is designed for longer runs, it will function perfectly for shorter distances as well. However, ensure you have enough space to manage the extra slack, as the armored construction makes the cable stiffer and less flexible than non-armored versions.
This cable features a PVC jacket, which is generally intended for indoor or controlled environment use. It is not rated for direct burial or prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements.
This is a singlemode cable, which uses a smaller 9-micron core designed to carry data over much longer distances with higher bandwidth. It is not compatible with equipment designed for multimode fiber, so verify your hardware requirements before purchasing.
