Know before you buy
A plenum-rated (CMP) jacket is designed to be fire-resistant and produce low smoke, making it safe for installation in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors. It is a standard requirement for many commercial building codes.
No, this is a simplex cable, which means it is designed for unidirectional data flow. You would need a duplex cable if your equipment requires simultaneous two-way communication.
This cable uses OM1 (62.5/125 µm) fiber, which is generally not compatible with OM3 or OM4 systems. You should verify your existing equipment's fiber type before purchasing to ensure it matches.
Yes, this is a pre-terminated patch cable. It comes with LC and SC connectors already attached, so you can plug it directly into your networking devices without needing to splice or terminate the fiber yourself.
The LC connector is a small form-factor connector often used in high-density environments, while the SC connector is a larger, push-pull style connector. This cable acts as a bridge between devices that use these two different interface types.
