This kenable FB 002 Fibre Optic Patch Cable is designed for IT professionals and network administrators requiring reliable, high-speed data transmission in safety-conscious environments. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, low-smoke connection suitable for plenum spaces, ensuring network integrity and user safety. A potential caveat is its specific connector type (LC) which may require compatible hardware. This 2-meter, duplex, OM2 multimode cable features an orange LSZH jacket and LC to LC connectors, making it ideal for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and servers.

OM2 refers to a category of multimode fiber optic cable optimized for use with LED and VCSEL sources. It supports higher bandwidth than OM1 and is typically used for distances up to 550 meters at 1 Gbps and shorter distances for higher speeds like 10 Gbps.
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) materials are designed to emit very little smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire, which is crucial for safety in enclosed spaces like data centers and public buildings.
No, this is a multimode fiber optic cable (OM2). It is not compatible with single-mode transceivers or applications that require single-mode fiber.
A duplex cable has two fibers, one for transmitting and one for receiving data. This allows for simultaneous two-way communication, enhancing network efficiency compared to simplex (single-fiber) cables.
Use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool, such as a one-click cleaner or lint-free wipes with an appropriate cleaning solution (like >90% isopropyl alcohol). Never touch the end face of the fiber with your fingers.
For OM2 multimode fiber, typical performance is up to 550 meters at 1 Gbps and up to 82 meters at 10 Gbps. Performance can vary based on the quality of the equipment and connectors used.
Verify that both LC connectors are securely seated in their respective ports. Check if the connected devices recognize the fiber optic link. Ensure the cable is not physically damaged (e.g., excessively bent or cut).
Clean the LC connectors on both ends of the cable using an appropriate fiber optic cleaning solution and wipe. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive strain or bending. Verify that the connected equipment is functioning correctly and supports the expected data rates.
Confirm that the port on your network device is indeed an LC duplex port. This cable features LC connectors, which are smaller than SC connectors. Ensure you are using the correct cable for your hardware.
