Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between OS1 and OS2 fiber optic cables?
OS2 fiber, like this cable, is designed for longer distances and higher bandwidth applications, typically used in 10G, 40G, and 100G networks over several kilometers. OS1 is generally for shorter distances and lower bandwidths.
Can this cable be used with multi-mode fiber optic equipment?
No, this is an OS2 single mode fiber cable and is not compatible with multi-mode fiber optic equipment. Using it with multi-mode devices will result in signal loss or no connection.
What does "UPC" mean in the connector type?
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact. It refers to the polishing type of the fiber ferrule, which minimizes back reflection and improves signal quality, crucial for high-speed data transmission.
What are the benefits of an LSZH jacket for this fiber cable?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire, making it a safer choice for enclosed spaces and ensuring compliance with building safety regulations.
