10G Duplex Multimode Cable Designed for Outdoor or Harsh Indoor EnvironmentsThis 16.4-foot (five-meter) 50/125 OM3 LC/LC IP68-rated outdoor cable is ideal for connecting 10G Ethernet fiber networks in outdoor applications and other areas where protection from harsh elements is essential, such as factories, warehouses, recycling plants, machine shops and other dusty environments. The rigid, durable cable and small-form-factor LC duplex connectors withstand dust, debris and moisture that could threaten your IT infrastructure. Included dust caps are located at both ends for protection from dust and debris when the connectors are not in use.IP68 Rating Denotes Resistance to Dust and WaterThe fiber cable is 100% protected against dust and able to endure immersion in 1.5 meters of water for up to 60 minutes with no damage or decline in performance. Concentration of water moisture in fiber connectors will lead to glass damage and can severely disrupt or halt performance of optical cables. For applications that require IP68 protection, use the industrial cable with a N206-SB01-IND surface-mount box and an N455-BC01-IND bulkhead coupler. If only IP44 protection against splashing water from all directions is required, pair the cable with a N206-FP01-IND, N206-FP02-IND or N206-FP04-IND metal wall plate and an N455-BC01-IND bulkhead coupler.Color-Coded to Avoid Misidentification That Can Cause Costly DowntimeThis fiber cable features an aqua PVC jacket with LC duplex ends. The color-coding allows easy, fast OM3 identification in a crowded rack, patch panel or workstation and helps prevent the cable from becoming inadvertently disconnected.
