Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary application for this 2-meter multimode fiber cable?
This cable is primarily used for connecting fiber networking devices such as switches, patch panels, and media converters over short distances, typically within a server rack or data center environment, supporting 10 Gbit/s speeds.
What does "LSZH" mean for this fiber patch cable?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen. It means the cable's jacket material emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to high heat or fire, making it safer for use in enclosed public or commercial spaces.
Can this cable be used for long-distance fiber connections?
No, as an OM1 multimode fiber cable, it is optimized for high-speed data transfer over shorter distances, typically up to a few hundred meters, making it ideal for internal building or campus networks rather than long-haul connections.
Is this fiber cable compatible with single-mode fiber equipment?
No, this is a multimode fiber cable (OM1) and is not compatible with single-mode fiber equipment. Multimode and single-mode fibers have different core diameters and light transmission characteristics.
