Black Box 9.8ft Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable 50/125 OM2 (Orange)

Overview

The Black Box FOCMR50-003M-SCLC-OR is a 9.8-foot multimode fiber optic patch cable designed to provide stable and high-speed data connections. Featuring OM2 50/125 multimode fiber, it supports data rates up to 1 Gbps over distances reaching 600 meters at an 850 nm wavelength. This cable is well suited for network setups in office buildings, data centers, and campus environments where consistent performance over moderate distances is essential.

Its flame-retardant, UV-resistant OFNR PVC jacket ensures safety and durability in riser installations, while the bright orange color makes it easy to identify among other cables. Factory-polished connectors minimize back reflection and signal loss, enhancing link reliability. The cable’s TAA compliance adds regulatory confidence for professional installations.
