10Gtek Fiber Patch Cable - 𝗟𝗖 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗖 𝗢𝗠𝟰 10Gb/Gigabit Multi-Mode Jumper Duplex 50/125μm LSZH Fiber Optic Cord for SFP Transceiver, Magenta, 2-Meter(6.6ft), 2-Pack

Set this up as a trunk from the router to upstairs. Routes from the first floor into the basement, up a pvc pipe into the attic, then dropping down to a storage room with access to a fiber keystone coupler that goes into another room. No issues with the physical routing experience or with network performance. The actual installation process started in the attic, and normal I have to use a string or attach a weight to pull down cables through the PVC pipe into the basement because there's a lot of other cables to get stuck on. However, the connector end of this cable acted as its own weight to effortlessly feed it down the pipe.

Setting up a 10Gb backbone at the house can be a bit confusing, but the SFP+ and fiber cables from 10Gtek have made it easy. I started using fiber to isolate sections of my home net so that nearby lightning strikes would not take out more than one piece of equipment. The first shipment of this patch cable arrived with the ends crushed and parts missing. I filed a return through Amazon and received the second cable two days later. My cable works perfectly. I know I don't need mode 4 for a 10Gb run, but the 10Gtek mode 4 was about the same price as some other mode 3 cables so I went with the higher capability cable. Who knows, I might someday upgrade to higher speed switches and need a better cable. Update - The site image looked kind of pink and description said peach, and since I am pulling 2 100ft runs, I ordered the peach to make it easy to tell them apart. What I received was close to the common bluegreen that most OM4 cable is. Since I did not want to wait, I just broke out the red magic marker. Not happy about the color change.

It is a fiber optic "Cable". Packaged and shipped well. Fit in my network adapters, Transceivers, and works.
