Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OS1 and OS2 fiber?
OS2 fiber is designed for longer distances and higher bandwidth applications than OS1, typically supporting 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over several kilometers. OS1 is generally limited to shorter distances and lower speeds.
Can this cable be used with multimode fiber equipment?
No, this is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable and is not compatible with multimode fiber equipment. Using it with multimode devices will result in significant signal loss or no connection.
What does 'duplex' mean for this fiber cable?
Duplex means the cable contains two fiber strands, allowing for simultaneous, two-way communication. One strand transmits data in one direction, and the other transmits in the opposite direction.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features an LSZH jacket, which is primarily designed for indoor commercial and public building environments to reduce fire hazards. It is not rated for outdoor use or direct burial.
