Guarantees and installation
Nexans LANmark-OF optical fibre patch cords have been designed for indoor applications in support of high speed protocols.
High speed protocols supported include, but are not limited to

• Ethernet: 1GBase-SX, 10GBase-SR, 25GBASE-SR
• Fibre channel Serial: 4G, 8G, 16G and 32G

Details on the supported distances can be found in the LANmark-OF warranty modules.

Typical installation environments are:

• Cabinets to connect patch panels to active equipment.
• Cross connects in data centres.
• Suitable for use in the work area to connect the workstation to the wall outlet (Fibre To The Desk).

Characteristics

• Patch cord cable is according to IEC 60794-2-50
• Maximum insertion loss according to IEC 61300-3-4: 0.25 dB
• Typical insertion loss: 0.1 dB
• Minimum return loss according to IEC 61300-3-6: 30 dB
• Duplex LC-LC, duplex LC-SC and duplex SC-SC patch cords have a duplex cable construction with a diameter of 2 X 2.0 mm.
• Short connector boots of 19mm
• Small bend radius: 10 mm
• A label is added close to the duplex connector for traceability of the measurement results 

Fibre

The LANmark-OF OM4 patch cords have LANmark-OF OM4 GIGAliteFLEX fibre inside.  This bend insensitive multimode fibre has a small bend radius and is compliant to IEC 60793-2-10, fibre model A1a.3b. 

Design
Nexans LANmark-OF patch cords designed according to the "Cross-Over" wiring principle to improve field installation (A1-B2, B1-A2). This conforms to the requirements of IEC 11801 and EN 50174-1:2009.

The "butterfly" duplex clip allows to change the polarity on site easily by simply removing the 2 connectors and put them in a reverse order back into the same clip. No tool is required for this polarity change.
