Why choose it

• Data centre patching between SC/APC and LC/UPC panels
• Telecom rooms and office fibre distribution
• Testing and temporary links in lab environments

Good to know

The cable is factory-terminated and tested, ready for immediate use. Keep bend radius above 20 mm during installation to avoid microbending losses. For outdoor or high-flex applications, consider a ruggedised alternative.
