This product is a patch cable from the brand Telegärtner, type 100011397, specifically designed for use in network infrastructures with high packing density. It is a fiber optic cable with two fibers, manufactured as OM3 multimode fiber with a core diameter of 50 µm and a cladding diameter of 125 µm. The cable is 2.5 meters long and features LC duplex connectors at both ends, housed in a turquoise-colored housing. The cable jacket and connector housings are also turquoise, enabling easy visual identification in the rack. The LC duplex connector design is standard for use in modern networks, particularly in switch and server environments where high connection densities are required.

Applications
This patch cable is intended for use in data centers, server rooms, and other environments with high demands for cable density and cabling speed. The latching mechanism on the LC connectors allows for secure and quick connections, even in tight racks. The tool-free polarity switching is particularly advantageous during installation, as it can be performed without additional tools or special mounting aids. This reduces installation time and minimizes error sources during cabling.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The latching mechanism ensures a stable connection between the connectors and prevents unintended disconnection, especially in environments with mechanical stress or vibrations. Polarity can be switched without tools, which is beneficial during installation as it ensures correct fiber alignment without additional aids. The cable jacket is turquoise, enabling easy optical differentiation from other cables, especially in complex cabling systems. The LC duplex connector design is standardized for use in modern networks and allows for compact mounting.

Technology Explained Simply
The OM3 fiber is a multimode fiber optimized for data transmission over short to medium distances. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s over distances of up to 300 meters, making it particularly suitable for use in local area networks (LAN). The fiber has a core diameter of 50 µm, enabling high light transmission efficiency. The turquoise cable jacket and connector housings are visual indicators used in IT operations for quick identification. The latching mechanism on the LC connectors ensures a secure connection that remains stable even under mechanical stress.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with all devices that support LC duplex connectors, including switches, routers, servers, and other network devices. The tool-free polarity switching allows flexible adaptation to the specific cabling situation. The turquoise finish supports visual differentiation in complex cabling systems.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding sockets of the network devices. The latching mechanism ensures the connector is securely seated in the socket. The tool-free polarity switching allows quick adjustment of the fiber arrangement without requiring additional tools. Cable density is optimized by the compact design of the LC connectors and the latching mechanism, which is particularly advantageous in tight racks.

Operational Advantages
The cable provides a reliable and fast connection with high packing density. The tool-free polarity switching reduces installation time and minimizes errors. The turquoise marking facilitates identification during operation. The LC duplex connectors are standardized and compatible with a wide range of network devices. The latching mechanism ensures a stable connection, even under mechanical stress.
