Black Box EFNT010-002M-STLC

Overview

The Black Box EFNT010-002M-STLC is a 2-meter fiber optic patch cable designed to support high-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections. It features OM3 multimode fiber with a 50/125 micron core and cladding, optimized for laser light sources to deliver reliable performance in demanding network environments. With a bandwidth of up to 2000 MHz per kilometer and support for cable runs up to 300 meters, this cable is well suited for backbone and campus networks requiring fast and stable data transfer.

Its durable PVC jacket withstands installation stresses and operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 to +185 degrees Fahrenheit. The cable’s ST connector on one end and LC connector on the other provide flexible compatibility with various network devices, making it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
