Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between OM1 and newer fiber types like OM3 or OM4?
OM1 fiber, with its 62.5/125 µm core, is designed for 10 Gbps speeds over shorter distances (up to 33 meters). Newer types like OM3 and OM4 support 10 Gbps and higher speeds over significantly longer distances, making OM1 suitable for legacy systems or short-reach applications.
Can this OM1 cable be used with OM3 or OM4 equipment?
While physically compatible, using an OM1 cable with OM3 or OM4 equipment will limit the performance to OM1 specifications, primarily affecting distance and potentially throughput. It is best practice to match fiber types for optimal network performance.
What does 'LSZH' mean for network cabling?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It refers to the cable jacket material that emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen compounds when exposed to high heat or fire, which is critical for safety in enclosed public or commercial spaces.
Is this fiber cable susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)?
No, fiber optic cables like the FIBSCSC2 are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This ensures stable and reliable data transmission even in environments with high electrical noise, unlike traditional copper cabling.
