Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum data rate supported by this OM2 fiber cable?
This OM2 50/125 micron fiber cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) over distances up to 550 meters, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gbps) over distances up to 82 meters. It is also compatible with Fiber Channel networks.
Can this cable be used outdoors or in wet environments?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use, specifically within air plenums and ducts due to its OFNP rating. It is not rated for outdoor or wet environment installations.
What is the difference between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 fiber?
OM2 fiber, like this cable, uses a 50/125 micron core and supports Gigabit Ethernet. OM1 uses 62.5/125 micron, while OM3 and OM4 are laser-optimized 50/125 micron fibers designed for higher speeds and longer distances, particularly 10GbE and beyond.
Is this cable compatible with single-mode fiber equipment?
No, this is a multimode fiber cable and is not compatible with single-mode fiber equipment. Using it with single-mode devices will result in signal loss and connection failure.
