Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum distance this OM2 cable supports for 10Gbps?
This 1m OM2 fiber optic cable is designed for short-distance, high-speed connections. OM2 fiber typically supports 10Gbps up to 82 meters, but this specific cable is 1 meter in length for close-proximity links.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces?
While this cable features a Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket for enhanced fire safety, it is not specifically rated for plenum spaces. Always consult local building codes and fire regulations for appropriate cable types in plenum applications.
What is the difference between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 fiber?
OM2 fiber, like this cable, supports 10Gbps over shorter distances than OM3 or OM4. OM1 is older and slower, while OM3 and OM4 offer higher bandwidth and longer reach for 10Gbps and beyond, with OM4 being the highest performance multimode option.
Is this cable suitable for Fiber Channel networks?
Yes, this 1m OM2 LC to ST fiber optic cable is fully compatible with Fiber Channel networks, supporting duplex multimode applications for reliable storage area network (SAN) connectivity.
