Belkin 10 Gig Fiber Optic Patch Cable 20m (Aqua)

Overview

The Belkin F2F402L0-20M-G is a 20 meter fiber optic patch cable designed to deliver data at 10 Gigabit speeds, providing a reliable connection for high-performance networking environments. It features multimode fiber with a 50/125 micron core and cladding, ensuring a clear and low-loss link between devices. This cable bridges modern LC/PC ports and legacy ST/PC ports, making it versatile for various network setups.

Key features

• Multimode fiber construction optimized for laser transmission, reducing signal loss over longer distances
• Aqua-colored jacket that allows quick identification in crowded racks and cable trays
• LC/PC connector on one end and ST/PC connector on the other to connect newer and older network equipment
• Tested for pull strength, impact resistance, and insertion loss to withstand installation in conduit and overhead trays
• Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth protocols, suitable for demanding data center and enterprise environments
• 20 meter length ideal for runs across aisles, between wiring closets, or from top-of-rack switches to patch panels

Key specs

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 micron core/cladding
• Length: 20 meters
• Connectors: LC/PC to ST/PC
• Data rate support: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
