Black Box 6.6ft OM2 50/125 Multimode LC-LC Fiber Patch Cable (Orange)

Overview

The Black Box FOCMR50-002M-LCLC-OR is a 2-meter multimode fiber optic patch cable designed to connect switches, routers, and storage devices with reliable optical performance. Featuring a 50/125 micron OM2 core, it supports bandwidth up to 510 MHz per kilometer and delivers Gigabit Ethernet speeds at the 850 nm wavelength. Its bright orange OFNR PVC jacket makes it easy to identify in dense network racks, while the cable’s flame-retardant riser rating and wide operating temperature range ensure safe and stable use in various environments.

Key features

• LC to LC connectors provide secure and precise fiber connections for consistent data transmission
• Orange OFNR PVC jacket enhances visibility and organization in crowded patch panels and cable runs
• Factory-terminated and tested assemblies minimize insertion loss and back reflection, reducing signal errors
• Flame-retardant riser rating allows safe installation in vertical shafts and between floors without code violations
• Wide operating temperature range from -60 to 85 °C supports use in both cold equipment rooms and warmer network closets
• Supports 1 Gbps data rates at 850 nm, suitable for high-speed network applications
