Frequently Asked Questions
What is OS2 single mode fiber and why does it matter?
OS2 single mode fiber is an industry-standard telecommunications-grade fiber designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. Unlike multimode fiber, single mode supports only one light path, enabling superior signal quality and minimal dispersion over distances exceeding 2 km. This makes it ideal for data center backbones and carrier networks requiring 100G speeds and beyond.
What's the difference between LC and SC connectors?
LC (Lucent Connector) and SC (Subscriber Connector) are two common fiber optic connector types. LC connectors are smaller and widely used in high-density data center applications, while SC connectors are larger and common in telecommunications. This duplex cable provides both, allowing flexible integration into existing network infrastructure.
Is this cable suitable for 100G networks?
Yes. This OS2 single mode fiber optic cable is engineered to support 100G Ethernet and beyond. The 9/125µm core, low insertion loss design, and laser-optimized wavelength range (1260-1625nm) ensure reliable transmission at the highest network speeds used in modern data centers.
Why choose LSZH jacket material?
LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jackets are critical for safety in enclosed spaces like data center cable trays and building conduits. In the event of fire, LSZH materials produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases, protecting equipment and personnel while meeting strict fire safety codes.
