Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OS1 and OS2 single-mode fiber?
OS2 fiber, like this cable, is designed for higher bandwidth and longer distances than OS1, typically supporting 10 Gbit/s and beyond 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 cable and is not compatible with multimode fiber equipment. Using it with multimode transceivers or cables will result in signal loss or no connection.
What are the benefits of using an LSZH jacket?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire, making it safer for enclosed spaces like data centers, hospitals, and schools, and helping meet safety regulations.
What is the typical bending radius for this fiber cable?
This cable has a bending radius of 1 cm, allowing for more flexible routing in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity, which is important for efficient cable management in racks and conduits.
