Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OS1 and OS2 fiber?
OS2 fiber is designed for longer distances and higher bandwidth applications compared to OS1, making it suitable for 10Gbps and beyond over several kilometers. This ensures better performance for modern enterprise networks.
Can this cable be used with 1Gbps equipment?
Yes, this 10Gbps OS2 fiber cable is backward compatible and can be used with 1Gbps fiber optic transceivers and equipment. This provides flexibility for current deployments while allowing for future scalability.
What does "duplex" mean for this fiber cable?
Duplex means the cable has two fiber strands, allowing for simultaneous two-way communication (transmit and receive) between connected devices. This is essential for most modern network connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
While the LSZH jacket offers fire safety benefits for indoor environments, this cable is designed for controlled indoor deployments and is not rated for direct outdoor exposure without additional protective conduit or housing.
