Singlemode LC/UPC to LC/UPC Duplex Armored Fiber Patch CableArmored fiber optic patch cable has an helical stainless steel tape over a buffered fibre surrounded by a layer of aramid and stainless steel mesh with an outer jacket. Its rugged shell with steel and kevlar is stronger than common fiber optic cable and has a higher rated range of operating temperature. Although this cable contains metal, it is still light weight and flexible with about an 8 inch bend radius. Armored fiber optic patch cable is specifically designed for customer premises, central offices and indoor harsh environments or heavy traffic areas which require extra protection.Connector-1LC UPCConnector-2LC UPCFiber ModeOS2 9/125μmFiber TypeDuplexCable Diameter3.0mmCable JacketSingle ArmoredCable ColorBlueCable MaterialStainless steel tube, PVCBend Radius12.7~17.7cmTensile Loads100~132 lbsInsertion Loss≤0.3dBReturn Loss≥50dBOperating Temperature-40~75°CStorage Temperature-45~85°CPerfect StructureFeature

Armored fiber patch cable retains all the features of standard fiber cable but is much stronger due to its extra layers of armor. With the protection of flexible and durable steel tube, armored fiber patch cable will ensure the excellent operation of your network.How to Choose The Right Fiber Optic Cable Type?The difference of OM4 and OM3 fiber mode as the following
1. OM4 was developed specifically for VSCEL laser transmission and allows 10 Gig / second link distances of up to 550 m (compared to 300M with OM3).
2. The effective modal bandwidth for OM4 is more than double that of OM3.
3. For OM4 patch cable, it is 4700 MHz.km while for OM3, it is 2000 MHz.km.
