FAQs
What is the difference between single mode and multimode fibre?
Single mode fibre has a smaller core (9/125µm) and transmits a single light path, enabling longer transmission distances with minimal signal loss. Multimode fibre has a larger core and multiple light paths, suitable for shorter distances. This cable is single mode, designed for long-distance applications.
Why choose UPC connectors over APC connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors are industry-standard for most telecommunications and data centre applications, offering excellent performance and broad compatibility. All ends on this cable are polished and individually inspected for consistent quality.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why does it matter?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogens if exposed to fire, making them essential for safety-critical environments like data centres, server rooms, and commercial buildings where fire codes require enhanced fire safety.
Can this cable be used for both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps networks?
Yes. This single mode OS2 fibre cable supports data rates from 100 Mbps through to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for current Gigabit networks and future 10 Gigabit upgrades without replacement.
Is the armoured construction necessary for my application?
Armoured cables provide enhanced physical protection against abrasion, crushing, and external damage. They are recommended for installations where the cable may experience mechanical stress, outdoor runs, or high-traffic areas.
How should I handle and install this fibre optic cable?
Fibre optic cables require careful handling to avoid bending beyond minimum bend radius specifications. Avoid sharp kinks, heavy loads, and extreme temperatures. We recommend professional installation for optimal performance and warranty compliance.
What warranty and support does 8ware provide?
This cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Hyetech Australia provides technical support and can assist with compatibility and installation questions.
