These duplex style multimode fiber patches are ideal for short distance connections that require data to run in both directions. The duplex cable houses two fibers one transmits, the other receives, and information may flow in either direction at the same time. Meanwhile the Microlink multimode fiber strands themselves allow for simultaneous wavelengths along the same fiber, maximizing the amount of data being carried on each line. And with the LC small form factor connector saving space on one end, and the durable SC connector (with built-in ferrule housing for times between use) on the other physical connections won’t ever get in the way of your lightning fast network!
