Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum data rate supported by this OM2 fiber cable?
This OM2 fiber optic cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) over distances up to 550 meters and Fiber Channel networks, ensuring high-speed data transmission for demanding applications.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces or air ducts?
While the LSZH jacket offers enhanced fire safety by reducing smoke and toxic fumes, it is not plenum-rated. For plenum spaces, a specific plenum-rated cable is required to meet fire safety codes.
What is the difference between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 fiber?
OM2 fiber, like this cable, supports Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances (up to 550m). Newer standards like OM3 and OM4 support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and higher speeds over longer distances, offering greater future-proofing for network upgrades.
Is this cable compatible with single-mode fiber transceivers?
No, this is a multimode OM2 fiber cable and is not compatible with single-mode fiber transceivers. Multimode fiber requires multimode transceivers for proper operation and signal integrity.
