Black Box 19.7ft OM1 62.5/125 Multimode Fiber Patch Cable (Yellow)

Overview

The Black Box FOCMR62-006M-SCSC-YL is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for short-range network connections within a building. Measuring 19.7 feet (6 meters) in length, it supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps when used with 850 nm optics. This cable is ideal for linking switches, servers, and backbone segments, providing a reliable and organized solution for network infrastructure.

Key features

• 19.7-foot length offers convenient reach for in-room connections without excess slack
• OM1 62.5/125 multimode fiber supports gigabit speeds with compatibility for both LED and laser transmitters
• SC-to-SC connectors provide a secure push-pull interface compatible with common patch panels and transceivers
• PVC jacket with OFNR rating ensures safe installation in riser spaces according to building codes
• Bright yellow jacket color simplifies cable identification and management in dense network racks
• Designed to bridge legacy equipment and modern network devices seamlessly

Key specs

Connectivity and compatibility

This fiber patch cable uses SC connectors on both ends, which are widely supported by patch panels, media converters, and transceivers in enterprise and lab environments. The OM1 fiber core size allows it to work effectively with older LED-based transmitters as well as newer laser sources, making it a versatile choice for mixed network setups.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable fits well in data centers, campus wiring closets, and home labs where short, neat fiber runs are needed between racks or from racks to wall-mounted panels. Its length and safety rating make it suitable for riser spaces, while the yellow jacket helps technicians quickly identify and trace connections during maintenance or upgrades. This cable is a practical option for network administrators managing gigabit traffic in environments that combine legacy and modern equipment.
