10G Laser-optimized optical fiber (LOF) patch cords intended to support high-speed 10-gigabit applications can be used as cross-connect jumpers, equipment and work area cords. All Signamax LOF patch cords are manufactured using riser-grade cable (OFNR) and are 100% factory-tested for insertion and return loss to ensure transmission performance per ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 standard specifications. Patch cords terminated with SC and LC connectors (uniform and hybrid versions) are available in duplex and simplex designs. Cordage used in LOF cords is aqua in color per ANSI/TIA-598-C; connectors are grey in color per ANSI/TIA-568-C.3. Marked clips, color rings, or colored connector boots identify each end of the duplex optical fiber cord to designate Position A and Position B.
