FAQs
What is the difference between single mode and multimode fibre?
Single mode fibre (OS2) has a smaller core diameter and supports longer distances with higher bandwidth, making it ideal for enterprise and telecommunications use. Multimode fibre is suited for shorter distances and lower-cost deployments. This cable uses OS2 single mode for long-distance, high-performance applications.
Why choose LC-LC UPC connectors?
LC-LC UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors provide low insertion loss and excellent signal integrity. The polished contact surface minimises reflections, making them ideal for high-performance network installations where signal quality is critical.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why does it matter?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) is a fire-retardant material that produces minimal smoke and no halogenated acids if burned. It's required in enclosed spaces, building ventilation systems, and areas where fire safety is a priority, such as data centres and telecommunications facilities.
Is the armoured construction necessary?
Armoured duplex construction provides mechanical protection against abrasion, crushing, and physical damage. It's recommended for high-traffic areas, outdoor installations, or environments where cables may experience rough handling.
Can this cable be used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. OS2 single mode fibre supports data transmission from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for current and future high-speed network requirements.
What is the maximum transmission distance for this cable?
OS2 single mode fibre can transmit data over much longer distances than multimode fibre—typically several kilometres depending on equipment and wavelength. For specific distance requirements, consult your network equipment specifications.
Is this cable compatible with my existing network equipment?
LC-LC connectors are industry standard. Compatibility depends on your network switch, patch panel, or other equipment having LC ports. Verify your equipment specifications before purchase to ensure compatibility.
