Know before you buy
Yes, this cable features an outdoor-rated jacket designed to withstand environmental exposure. However, it is always recommended to use conduit for direct burial applications to provide additional protection against moisture and physical damage.
Yes, the 50/125 multimode fiber construction is optimized for high-bandwidth applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, provided your transceivers and network equipment are compatible with this standard.
A duplex cable consists of two fiber strands, allowing for simultaneous two-way data transmission. This is the standard requirement for most networking equipment that uses separate channels for sending and receiving data.
SC connectors are larger than the common LC connectors found on many SFP modules. You will need to ensure your network hardware has SC-compatible ports or use an appropriate adapter or patch panel to bridge the connection.
While the cable is durable and built for outdoor use, it is still a fiber optic product. You should avoid sharp bends or tight kinks during installation to prevent signal loss or damage to the glass core.
